WSC 2006 Evaluation Notes • Overall, the entries were extremely competitive • Judging was close • Accuracy, with some exceptions, was consistent across teams • Most teams developed the correct solutions • Teams were extremely clever with manipulating data • Different routines for developing indexes
And the Winner is… Syntactic Contest Results
And the Winner is… Semantic Contest Results
Web Services Challenge 2007 • Next year’s event: • CEC/EEE’07, Tokyo, Japan, July 2007 ?? • Still Negotiating…. • Adding a more specific interface specification • Adding process-level requirements with sequence (workflow) constraints • 2nd year NSF Funding (Pending) • Corporate Sponsorship (Pending)
The Web Services Challenge • The WS-Challenge supports the emerging area of research investigating technologies that will enable the discovery and composition of web services. • 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. • Web Site – http://ws-challenge.org
History of WSC (cont’d) • EEE’05/ICEBE’05 • Pure syntactic discovery and composition • WSDL files were hand-generated • Repository had about 80 good WSDLs and another 200 added to increase the quantity • IJWSR Special Issue, December 2006 • CEC/EEE’06 • Syntactic and semantic search • Automated generation of WSDLs with very large repositories • Semantics are simulated using XML type hierarchy • Newcomers session with special recruited teams • NSF Funded Travel Awards and Organization
