About SWESE
-----------------------------------------------------------

There has been more and more evidence that the usage of Semantic Web
technologies leads to improvements in both the process and product of
software and service development and management activities.
The goal of the SWESE workshop is to advance research on this this
important area. We believe that the informal nature of the workshop,
located at one of the major events in service-oriented computing,
will lead to further exchange between practitioners and researchers
working on issues related to
Semantic Web Enabled Software and Service Engineering by providing a
forum for discussing
the major challenges of the area and the different approaches being
taken to resolve them.


-----------------------------------------------------------
Workshop Scope
-----------------------------------------------------------

During the last five years, a number of successful attempts showed the
advantages of Semantic Web technologies in software and service
engineering including reusability and extensibility of data models,
improvements in data quality and data integration, and discovery and
automated execution of workflows.
The scope of the SWESE workshop is to investigate any potential benefits
of using Semantic Web
knowledge representations (ontologies) and reasoning technologies in
service engineering, management, organization and implementation.


Topics of interest to the workshop include (but are not restricted to):

* Visions for Semantic Web driven software and service engineering
* Tools developed or being developed for software and service
engineering using SW languages
* Integration or application development projects combining software
engineering techniques and Semantic Web tools or languages
* Shortcomings with the Semantic Web with respect to software and
service engineering
* Visions for SW driven software modernization
* Integration of model-driven architectures, programming languages and
Semantic Web languages
* Integration of formal methods and Semantic Web languages
* Software specification and Semantic Web languages
* Software versioning control and Semantic Web
* Software debugging and Semantic Web
* Ontologies for software engineering
* Ontologies for service engineering and service specifications
* Ontologies for requirement engineering
* Ontologies for software guidance, traceability and maintenance
* Ontologies for service composition
* Component discovery and ontologies
* Feature modelling and ontologies
* Metamodel engineering
* Ontology reasoning for service engineering and management
* Semantic annotations in service engineering
* Transitioning legacy applications to ontologies
* Semantic-based intelligent assistance tools for software developers
* Lessons learnt and outstanding challenges for the usage of semantic
technologies in service engineering and management
* Ontology-Driven Architecture: How to introduce Semantic Web technology
into mainstream development processes
* Ontologies for supporting collaboration/coordination between developers
* Semantic-based information push for service engineering and management
process
* Methods and tools for semantic-based event-driven interaction in
service development
* Semantic Web based service marketplaces
