published in ELSEVIER's<BR>Electronic Notes<BR> in Theoretical Computer
Science (Elsevier's ENTCS).<BR>Scope:<BR>=====<BR>Web services are nowadays
emerging as a major technology for deploying<BR> automated interactions
between distributed and heterogeneous<BR>applications. <BR>Various standards
support this deployment including WSDL, UDDI, and<BR>SOAP. <BR>These standards
respectively support the definition of Web
services,<BR>their<BR> advertisement to the community of potential users,
and finally their<BR>binding <BR>for invocation purposes. In general, composing
Web services rather than<BR>accessing <BR>a single service is essential and
provides better benefits to users. <BR>Composition primarily addresses the
situation of a user's request that<BR>cannot<BR> be satisfied by any
available service, whereas a composite service<BR>obtained<BR> by combining
available services might be used.<BR><BR>Several questions raise during Web
services composition and execution<BR>including<BR> which businesses have
the capacity to provision Web services, when and<BR>where <BR>the provisioning
of Web services occurs, and how Web services from<BR>independent <BR>parties
coordinate their activities during execution so that conflicts<BR>are avoided.
<BR>To address some of these questions, it is recommended considering
the<BR>context in<BR> which the composition and execution of Web services
occur. Context is<BR>generally<BR> perceived as the information that
characterizes the interaction<BR>between humans, <BR>applications, and the
surrounding environment. From a Web services<BR>perspective, <BR>it is expected
that context should define a set of common data about<BR>the<BR> current
status of a Web service and its capability of collaborating<BR>with other
peers,<BR> possibly enacted by distinct providers. For example before a
Web<BR>service agrees to <BR>participate in a composite service its status in
terms of current<BR>participation is<BR> assessed. Moreover, before a
back-up strategy is deployed an<BR>assessment of the<BR> exception that a
Web service has raised is needed.<BR><BR>Relevant
topics:<BR>===============<BR>- Ontologies and context for Web services<BR>-
Context-based semantic matching for Web services composition<BR>- Context-based
Web services deployment<BR>- Software agent-based approaches for context-based
Web services<BR>interaction<BR>- Context-aware Web services<BR>- Security of
context during Web services interactions<BR>- Software agents and context for
Web services personalization<BR><BR><BR>Papers and
Evaluations:<BR>======================<BR><BR>Authors are invited to submit
electronically original papers through<BR>CONTEXT'05<BR> Web site
(</FONT><A href="http://www.context-05.org"><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3>http://www.context-05.org</FONT></A><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3>). Papers length should be between<BR>12 and 15<BR> pages and
must be in ELSEVIER's ENTCS submission format<BR>(</FONT><A

size=3>).<BR>All papers will be reviewed on the basis of relevance, clarity,
and<BR>technical quality.<BR>Papers of the workshop will be published as
post-proceedings in<BR>ELSEVIER's Electronic Notes<BR> in Theoretical
Computer Science (ELSEVIER's ENTCS,<BR></FONT><A

workshop. A special issue in<BR>an international <BR>journal is expected and
will be dedicated to selected papers from the<BR>workshop. <BR>At least one
author of each paper should attend the workshop to present<BR>the paper. <BR>For
