Workshop on Service Oriented Techniques:
Service oriented techniques are used for building software applications that use services available in a network such as the Web. The driving forces come from both the software engineering community and the e-business community. This workshop focuses on the enabling techniques to build service oriented system. Topics cover service modeling and computing, composition, middleware performance, date integration, and semantic issues etc.

WORKSHOP DEADLINES

Location-based Mobile Commerce Workshop:
l-Commerce'06 - WORKSHOP IS CANCELLED
The primary focus of the workshop is on l-Commerce, a fusion of mobile commerce and context aware computing. l-Commerce exploits consumers' proximity to marketplaces by electronically extending the stores' physical area to cover potential customers before they walk into stores.
The aim of the l-Commerce06 Workshop is to identify and discuss technical and business challenges, ideas, views, and ongoing research in ambient and location-based commerce and applications.

"l-Commerce" WORKSHOP IS CANCELLED

This half-day tutorial will look at issues surrounding the design and evaluation of effective human computer interaction techniques for mobile technology (for example, cell phones, PDAs, wearable computers, embedded computers). Presentation sessions will focus on general design issues, specific interaction techniques and on the design of evaluations for mobile technology. During interactive and practical sessions, attendees will be introduced to the complexities of designing for such technologies and will be given an opportunity to consider the implications of existing and proposed designs.

This workshop assumes no prior experience of human computer interaction design and should be of interest and be applicable to users, academics, and practitioners alike - each should get something different from the event.

"Mobile Commerce" TUTORIAL IS CANCELLED

Agent-Based Supply Chain Management

Multi-Agent Systems, Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents (FIPA) Architecture and Standards, Distributed Manufacturing Systems and Enterprise Integration, Global Supply Chain: From Supply Chain to the Collaborative Cluster - The Holonic Enterprise Paradigm, An Example: Agent Based Supply Chain Management for the Telephone Manufacturing Industry, Industrial Status Quo and Future Trends

Web Services enabled Service Oriented Architecture

Web Services is the enabling technique for Service Oriented Architecture. Web Services function both as the middleware and the modelling and management tool for business processes composed by Web services. This tutorial brings deep knowledge of Web services together and introduces formal methods for Web services modelling, reasoning and monitoring. The tutorial materials are supported from our teaching and published papers. The tutorial is industrial-neural in that we do not promote any specific commercial products. Topics include:
