The tutorial consists of five main sections that subsequently provide a complete overview of Semantic Web Services and the latest status related technology developments. With respect to the background of the presenters, the tutorial will be centered around the Web Service Modeling Ontology WSMO and discuss differences and commonalities with other efforts. The tutorial parts will be presented in following order:
1) Introduction to Semantic Web Services
This section introduces the idea and challenges of Semantic Web Services, as the basis of the subsequent sections comprising the following aspects:
- vision of Semantic Web Services
- current Web Services technologies
- challenges for Semantic Web Services
2) Semantic Web Services Frameworks
In order to provide sophisticated solutions for Semantic Web Services, technologies need to be positioned in an overall framework. Currently OWL-S and the Web Service Modeling Ontology WSMO represent the most significant conceptual models for Semantic Web Services; both are complementary and together provide a promising basis for Semantic Web Services. This section introduces both frameworks with regard to:
- motivation, scope, and design principles
- conceptual model and building blocks
- explanation of the components specification
- commonalities and differences
3) Semantic Techniques for Web Services
On basis of the preceding parts, concrete approaches and solutions for specific Semantic Web Service technologies are presented. This part is comprised of the most recent results from different research and development efforts. It encompasses solutions for:
- Semantic Description of Web Services
- Web Service Discovery and Composition
- Invocation of Web Services
- Conversation Validation
- Mediation and Interoperability
4) Semantic Web Service Tools and Systems
With regard to the theoretical background provided in the previous sections, this part of the tutorial presents selected tools and systems for handling and using Semantic Web Services. In particular, the tools for the following operations are presented:
- The Web Service Execution Environment WSMX (WSMO reference implementation)
- IRS3: a bridge system between OWL-S and WSMO
5) Hands-On Session
As the final part of the tutorial, attendees practically create and work with Semantic Web Services on basis of the techniques and systems presented in the previous tutorial parts. Experience in previous tutorials has proven this section as very helpful for attendees, as the most you learn we you actually do it yourself. The hands-on session is run in small working groups of attendees that are lead by one presenter and is structured as follows:
- introduction of the tools to be used
- demonstration of application to be constructed and available resources
- assisted hands-on session.
In order to achieve the aspired results of the tutorial for attendees as outlined, we propose a full day tutorial with an agenda as displayed in the following table. The timing will of course be adjusted with the overall WW 2006 conference organization.
