Matters

SOCABE'2005: "The purpose of this workshop is to discuss recent and significant developments in the general areas of Service Oriented Computing and Multi Agent Systems, and to promote cross-fertilization of techniques between these areas. The Service Oriented Computing approach to building complex software systems bears many similarities to approaches based on software agents. Many important issues are relevant to both areas, and solutions to these may draw on techniques from both. Possible topics of interest include: architectural approaches; modelling and design techniques; service discovery, brokering and selection; service composition and workflows; service level agreement negotiation and quality-of-service management; semantic services; security models; standards."
