Services computing and Web
2.0 computing are converging into a programmable Web today. The interaction
and integration of services computing and Web 2.0 technologies, however,
exposes various complexities that have to be faced. This Highlightr

workshop looks specifically at Web APIs and Services Mashups – end-user-oriented
compositions of Web-accessible services and content.

Main challenges include:

Programming models (languages,
frameworks, platforms) for the composition of Web-accessible services and
data of all kinds and architectural styles (SOAP, REST, RSS, Atom, and
Atom Publishing Protocol (APP)) and development of integrated user-interfaces.

Quality of mashups, including
reliability and security, and management approaches to mashups.

Understanding social and
economic factors in the creation, acceptance, and sustainability of services
mashups, including software-as-services markets and services marketplaces,
digital communities, pricing and contracting models.
This
workshop aims to bring together several relevant communities: application
(mashup) developers, mashup technology developers and experts, end-users,
social networking and economics researchers, and the broader services computing
community.

In the spirit of mashups
this workshop is a Highlightr

event – using the Highlightr

site (http://highlightr.org

)
as a sharable, commentable, taggable, diggable, twittable, and mashable
way to keep online notes and highlights during the workshop. We encourage
and expect workshop participants to explore and use Highlightr to capture,
share, discuss, and mashup workshop contributions and outcomes.

Call for Papers

We are seeking two kinds
of paper contributions for peer-review:

short papers (not to exceed
8 pages in Springer LNCS style format) describing mashups examples and
positions on particular challenges or experiences relevant to the scope
of the workshop, and

long papers (not to exceed
15 pages in the Springer LNCS style format) describing research and novel
solutions to relevant problems in more detail.

Topics of interest include:

Languages, frameworks, and
(runtime) platforms for the design, implementation, testing and maintenance
of Web APIs and services mashups, including dynamic languages and frameworks
such as Ruby/RoR, Javascript/Ajax, PHP, and others.

Mashups examples and experience
(design, architecture, implementation, usability and user-experience),
in particular of those that use emerging tools such as IBM's QEDWiki,
Google Web Toolkit, Google Mashup Editor, Dapper.net, OpenKappow, and Yahoo!
Pipes, as well as using service marketplaces like StrikeIron.com and ProgrammableWeb.com.

Quality of services mashups:
reliability, security, and other non-functional aspects.

Analysis of and experience
with services mashups (creation, deployment, and usage) from social and
economical perspectives; services markets and marketplaces, digital communities,
pricing and contracting models.
Papers
will be accepted for full presentation (30 min. slot) or short presentation
(20 min. slot) at the workshop, or for demonstration as a poster.

All selected papers will
be published in 'conventional' workshop proceedings (details to be confirmed),
and will also be advertised through the Highlightr

site.

Submissions

Papers must be submitted
electronically in PDF format. The submission site is open at http://www.easychair.org/Mashups07/
