CALL FOR PAPERS
*****************************************************************
 
 
The AWESOME LADS workshop on Agents, Web Services and Ontologies,
Integrated Methodologies will be held as a special track of LADS
(International   Workshop   on   LAnguages,   methodologies  and
Development tools for multi-agent systemS) for the 2010 edition.  
 
AWESOME LADS 2010 is organized by:
 
    * Matteo Baldoni
    * Cristina Baroglio
    * Jamal Bentahar
    * Viviana Mascardi
 
The AWESOME LADS 2010 special track wants to stimulate discussion
among researchers working on Agents, Web Services, and Ontologies,
in order to help the identification and the definition of Methodo-
logies for integrating them. The realisation of distributed, open,
dynamic,  and heterogeneous software systems is, in fact, a chal-
lenge that involves many facets, from formal theories to software
engineering  and practical  applications.  Scientists  in various
research areas, such as Semantic Web, Web Services, Agents, Onto-
logies, are attacking this problem from different perspectives.
AWESOME LADS 2010 attempts to provide a discussion forum for col-
lecting and  comparing  such diverse  experiences with the aim of
fostering cross fertilization.
 
Topics of interest are all those concerned with integrated and/or
cross-field approaches for engineering Agents, Web Services,
Ontologies. They include, but are not limited to:
 
    * Semantic Web Agents and Semantic WSs
    * Integrated Methodologies, notations, infrastructures for
      Agents, WSs, Ontologies
    * Enhancement of communication among Agents/WSs by means of
      Ontologies
    * Formal aspects for Agents, WSs and Ontologies
    * Service-oriented multiagent systems
    * Implementing Agents with WS technologies
    * Agent-inspired declarative approaches to WSs or SOA
    * Exploiting AOSE for engineering WSs and Ontologies
    * Orchestrations, choreographies, and interaction protocols:
      languages, theory and practice
    * Ontologies for Agents and/or WSs: languages, theory and     
      practice
    * Formal description of contracts and negotiation policies
    * Tools for semantic WSs/Agents
    * Applications of semantic WSs/Agents
    * Security and trust in Agents/WSs settings
