Award Information

The Web Service Challenge (WS-Challenge)
With growing acceptance of service-oriented computing, an emerging area of research is the investigation of technologies that will enable the discovery and composition of web services. Using the same approach as the popular Trading Agent Competitions (TAC), the Web Services Challenge is the original event geared towards the management of web services. The annual competition solicits industry and academic researchers that develop software components and/or intelligent agents that have the ability to discover pertinent web services and compose them to create higher-level functionality.
