Workshop on Web Services-based Grid Applications (WSGA) http://pat.jpl.nasa.gov/public/WSGA/ Held in conjunction with: 2006 International Conference on Parallel Processing (ICPP-2006) Columbus, Ohio, USA August 14 or 18, 2006 Introduction Based on the successful 2005 ICPP workshop "Workshop on Web And Grid Services for Scientific Data Analysis (WAGSSDA)", this workshop will continue the examination of how ideas from the Grid world are being transformed into a layer above Web Services by scientific researchers who are exploring these technologies to see if they can help satisfy their needs. While the concepts of the Grid have had tremendous promise, thus far this promise has not been fully realized. On the other hand, simple web-based technologies have transformed Web pages in powerful and dynamic content, which are being further enhanced by emerging Web Services. Many feel that Web services-based applications may be the solution that will allow the Grid to realize its potential. The goal of this workshop is to cross-fertilize the areas of Web service-based grid technologies and scientific applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Topics of Interest Web services, including integrating emerging WS specifications such as WS-Notification, WS-Addressing, and the use of WS-RF or other emerging frameworks Security, including graduated authentication or the use of WS-Security Workflow enactment, choreography, and management Distributed data analysis and management Knowledge extraction and use Semantic technologies, including ontologies, the use of RDF, ad other XML-based tools Draft Paper Submission Guidelines Formatted according to the IEEE standard double-column format with a font size 10 pt or larger Strictly limited to 8 pages in length Submissions should represent original research results. Include an abstract, five to ten keywords, and the corresponding author's e-mail address PDF format only E-Mail submissions only, to the co-chairs Important Dates Submission Deadline 17 February 2006 Author Notification 3 April 2006 Final Manuscript Due 1 May 2006 Co-Chairs Daniel S.
