<h2><a id="scope" name="scope">Scope of the Workshop</a></h2>

<p>From its early days, Web technologies have been used to provide an
interface to distributed services (e.g., HTML forms calling CGI scripts). The
advent of XML has accelerated this development, and has sparked the emergence
of numerous XML-based environments that enable Web services. These
environments are starting to encompass the classical components of distributed
application environments such as protocol conventions, security mechanisms,
mechanisms to ensure reliable delivery and provide transaction functionality,
interface description languages, and marshalling mechanisms, all of which are
adapted to the special needs of the Web environment, and the requirements of
XML.</p>

<p>W3C has recently started to address some of these techniques in the <a
href="http://www.w3.org/2000/xp/">XML Protocol Activity</a>, and in the <a
href="http://www.w3.org/2000/xp/Group/">XML Protocol Working Group</a>. Since
the start of this work, Members have expressed interest in expanding the scope
to also cover other aspects of an XML-based distributed application
environment, such as Web service descriptions. The purpose of the Web services
workshop is to gather the community interested in XML-based Web service
solutions and standardization of components thereof, which includes both
solution providers and users of this technology. The goal of the workshop is
to advise the W3C about which further actions (Activity Proposals, Working
Groups, etc.) should be taken with regard to Web services.</p>

<p>Topics likely to be discussed at this workshop include, but are not limited
to:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Reliable messaging</li>
  <li>Security</li>
  <li>Privacy of business data</li>
  <li>Transactions</li>
  <li>Interface definition languages</li>
  <li>Discovery of Web service applications</li>
  <li>Web service descriptions</li>
  <li>Message and protocol semantics</li>
  <li>Development environments for Web services</li>
  <li>Other components of Web services not yet addressed by the XML Protocol
    Activity</li>
</ul>
<hr />

<h2><a id="participation" name="participation">Rules for
participation</a></h2>

<p>The number of attendees at the workshop is limited to 80. In order to
participate, you need to</p>
<ul>
  <li><p>Be an employee of a W3C member organization. Initially, there is a
    limit of one attendee per W3C member organization <br />
    AND</p>
  </li>
  <li>send in a position paper (one to five pages) to <a
    href="mailto:wsws-submit@w3.org">wsws-submit@w3.org</a> (deadline March
    12, 2001). Permitted formats: a URL to the position paper, HTML, or ASCII
    text. The paper should state clearly your potential contribution to/idea
    on Web services.</li>
</ul>

<p>All position papers will be reviewed by a Program Committee. The review of
the program committee will be used for selecting position papers for
presentation. Should we receive more than 80 position papers, the Program
Committee's reviews will also be used to select attendees. Should there be
less than 80 position papers, remaining attendee slots will be distributed on
a first come/first served basis.</p>

<p><em>IMPORTANT:</em> Please try to reserve a hotel room as soon as you sent
in your position paper, i.e. before the final list of workshop attendees is
announced (see also <a href="#Accommodat">Accommodations</a>).</p>

<p>All position papers will be available from the workshop Web site. The
workshop Web site will be public, so position papers and slides must be
suitable for public dissemination. Speaker slides will also be available at
the Web site after the workshop. There will not be printed proceedings. </p>

<p>Employees of organizations that are not W3C members can be invited by the
workshop chairs. Employees of W3C member organizations are encouraged to
propose persons who could be invited. Formal invitation of experts will be
made by the workshop chairs.</p>

<p><strong>Note:</strong> To help the organizers plan the workshop, employees
of W3C Member organizations wishing to participate should send email
<strong>as soon as possible</strong> to <a
href="mailto:wsws-register@w3.org">wsws-register@w3.org</a> stating:</p>
<ul>
  <li>that somebody from your organization plans to submit a position
  paper;</li>
  <li>whether or not you wish to make a presentation;</li>
  <li>suggestions for invited experts (i.e., individuals who are not employees
    of a W3C Member).</li>
</ul>
