E-services, and in particular Web services, are emerging as a promising tech- logy for the e?ective automation of application integration across networks and organizations. The basic technological infrastructure for e-services is structured around three major standards: SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI. These standards p- vide building blocks for service description, discovery, and interaction. E-service technologies have clearly in?uenced positively the development of integrated - stems by providing programmatic access to e-services through SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI. E-services are evolving toward being able to solve critical integ- tion issues including security, transactions, collaborative processes management, semantic aspects, and seamless integration with existing middleware infrastr- tures. VLDB-TES 2003 was the fourth workshop in a successful series of annual workshops on technologies for E-services, held in conjunction with the VLDB conference. The objective of VLDB-TES 2003 was to bring together researchers, practitioners,anduserstoexchangenewideas,developments,andexperienceson issues related to E-services. VLDB-TES 2003 took place in Berlin, Germany. It featured the presentation of 16 regular papers. In addition to the presentation of research papers, the workshop included two invited talks and a panel discussion.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Technologies for E-Services, TES 2003, held in Berlin, Germany, in September 2003 in conjunction with VLDB 2003. The 16 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. Among the topics addressed are current issues on various aspects of e-services, in particular Web services, service composition, service aggregation, service integration, cooperative process control, business process modeling, DAML-S, scalable Web services, shared Web services, context-aware services, and location-based services.
