Abstract
This tutorial presents what can be achieved by symbiotic synthesis of two of the hottest R&D and technology application areas: Web services and the Semantic Web. It presents the more recent evolution of the Web service platform towards rich Web service and process model annotation, and explores some of the promises and challenges in applying semantics to each of the steps in the Semantic Web Process lifecycle. In particular, we present current Web services directions and the role of semantics in annotation (Semantic Annotation of Web Services), discovery (Semantic Web Service Discovery), composition (Semantic Web Process Composition), process execution/enactment (Semantic Web Process Orchestration), and quality of service of Semantic Web Processes. We also review ongoing frameworks and initiatives such as Semantic Web Service Initiative Architecture Committee (SWSA) [1], Semantic Web Services Language (SWSL) [2] and OWL-S [3], as well as results from key projects such as the METEOR-S [4] which build upon research, technology and current standards in workflow processes, Semantic Web, Web services and simulation.
