Workshop on Data Engineering Research Issues Gives Final Call for Papers
FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
14th International Workshop on Research Issues on Data Engineering:
Web Services for E-Commerce and E-Government Applications
(RIDE-WS-ECEG'2004) Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society
Boston, MA, March 28-29, 2004 (http://www.nvc.cs.vt.edu/ride04)
In conjunction with ICDE'04
SCOPE WS-ECEG'2004 is the fourteenth workshop in a series of
annual workshops on Research Issues in Data Engineering (RIDE),
which have been held in conjunction with the IEEE CS
International Conferences on Data Engineering. In 2004, RIDE
focuses on Web Services for E-Commerce and E-Government
Applications. The objective of WS-ECEG'2004 is to bring together
researchers, e-commerce leaders, e-government leaders, and users
to exchange the results and ideas on the issues related to Web
services and the support they provide for E-Commerce and E-
Government Applications.
With the advent of the Web, the globalization of world economies,
and the high expectation generated to what users and citizens
should expect in terms of service quality, any information is
expected to be readily accessible from the Web. Web services go
beyond data retrieval techniques to provide a mechanism for users
to create, store, discover and establish connections with
services. In that regard, Web services are XML-based entities
that can be accessed and discovered through some programmatic
means.
The effective use of standardized of XML-based Web services will
become central to providing critical services in both e-commerce
and e-government applications. The emerging Semantic Web and the
work on the supporting ontological approaches such as RDF and
DAML+OIL, will provide the supporting fertile environment for
deploying and using Web services. It is expected that Web
services will accelerate the deployment of e-commerce and e-
government applications in a rate never seen before because of
the converging standardization efforts. Key to achieving this
goal is building an integrated Web service infrastructure that
will provide efficiencies to e-commerce and e-government
applications.
