The International Journal of Web Services Research (JWSR) is a high-quality refereed journal on Web Services research and engineering that serves as an outlet for individuals in the field to publish their research as well as interested readers. As a research and engineering journal, the International Journal of Web Services Research, will facilitate communication and networking among Web Services/e-business researchers and engineers in a period where considerable changes are taking place in Web Services technologies innovation, and stimulate production of high-quality Web Services solutions and architectures.



Web services are network-based application components with services-oriented architecture using standard interface description languages and uniform communication protocols. Due to the importance of the field, standardization organizations such as WS-I, W3C, OASIS and Liberty Alliance are actively developing standards for Web services. The International Journal of Web Services Research (JWSR) is the first refereed, international publication featuring only the latest research findings and industry solutions dealing with all aspects of Web services technology. The overall scope of this journal will cover the advancements in the state of the art, standards, and practice of Web services, as well as to identify the emerging research topics and define the future of Services computing, including Web services on Grid computing, Web services on multimedia, Web services on communication, Web Services on E-business, etc. In conclusions, the JWSR provides an open, formal publication for high quality articles developed by theoreticians, educators, developers, researchers and practitioners for professionals to stay abreast of challenges in Web services technology.

SCOPE: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Mathematic foundations for service oriented computing
  • Web Services architecture
  • Web Services security
  • Frameworks for building Web Service applications
  • Composite Web Service creation and enabling infrastructures
  • Web Services discovery
  • Resource management for Web Services
  • Solution Management for Web Services
  • Dynamic invocation mechanisms for Web Services
  • Quality of service for Web Services
  • Web Services modeling

¡§This journal will fill a very important gap by focusing on in-depth academic research in the important area of Web Services¡¨, Hemant Jain, Wisconsin Distinguished and TCS Professor, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

"The Web-service technology provides a uniform infrastructure for Internet users and organizations to share heterogeneous information and software resources. JWSR provides a medium for scholars and practitioners world-wide to publish their research and experimental results related to the technology and its applications", Stanley Su, IEEE Fellow, Distinguished professor with the Computer and Information Sciences and Engineering Department and the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, University of Florida; Former Editor-in-Chief, International Journal on Very Large Data Bases (1993- 2001).

"Web Services offer today's best hope for managing application integration (especially those created by numerous vendors) in the Internet environment. IJWSR recognizes this opportunity, and as such, is well positioned to be a critical resource to the computer science community. Given the talent and track record of the founding editors and the goals they set for the journal, I am confident that IJWSR will succeed and be valuable for a long time.", Ephraim Feig, IEEE Fellow, CTO and Chief Marketing Officer of Kintera Inc.
