OBJECTIVES

VLDB-TES'2005 is the sixth workshop in a successful series of annual workshops on technologies for E-Services, which have been held in conjunction with the International Conference on Very Large Data Bases.

The next generation of applications will be developed in form of services that are offered over a network, either a company's intranet or the Internet. Service-based architectures depend on an infrastructure that allows service providers to describe and advertise their services and service consumers to discover and select the services that best fulfill their requirements. Frameworks and messaging protocols for e-services in stationary and mobile environments are being developed and standardized, metadata and ontologies are being defined, and mechanisms are under development for service composition, delivery, monitoring, and payment. End-to-end security and quality of service guarantees will be essential for the acceptance of e-services. As e-services become pervasive, e-service management will play a central role.

The workshop's objective is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to present new developments and experience reports. The goal of the TES workshop is to identify the technical issues, models and infrastructures that enable enterprises to provide e-services to other businesses and individual customers. Therefore, we will include industry sessions on various key application areas to be presented by distinguished invited speakers.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

We invite researchers, industry practitioners, and users who are exploring foundations, developing systems and applications, and using E-Service and Web Service systems to share their ideas, results, and experiences. We invite submissions related (but not limited to) to one or more of the following topics:

Description, organization, and discovery of e-services
Brokering, personalization, and composition of e-services
Invocation, delivery, and monitoring of e-services
Business intelligence, analysis and optimization for e-services
Ontology, meta-data, and semantic issues of e-services
Service-oriented architecture and application development
Workflow and agent support for e-services
XML-based protocols, data exchange, document management of e-services.
Service delivery in mobile and sporadically connected environments
Standards, applications and case studies of e-services
Validation, rating, and pricing of e-services
Negotiation and contract management of e-services
Quality of service, life-cycle management, and SLA/SLO support of e-services
Security and privacy of e-services
Availability, performance, and resource management of e-services
