WS-ECEG'2004 is the fourteenth workshop in a series of annual workshops on Research Issues in Data Engineering (RIDE), which have been held in conjunction with the IEEE CS International Conferences on Data Engineering. In 2004, RIDE focuses on Web Services for E-Commerce and E-Government Applications. The objective of WS-ECEG'2004 is to bring together researchers, e-commerce leaders, e-government leaders, and users to exchange the results and ideas on the issues related to Web services and the support they provide for E-Commerce and E-Government Applications.
With the advent of the Web, the globalization of world economies, and the high expectation generated to what users and citizens should expect in terms of service quality, any information is expected to be readily accessible from the Web. Web services go beyond data retrieval techniques to provide a mechanism for users to create, store, discover and establish connections with services. In that regard, Web services are XML-based entities that can be accessed and discovered through some programmatic means.
The effective use of standardized XML-based Web services will become central to providing critical services in both e-commerce and e-government applications. The emerging Semantic Web and the work on the supporting ontological approaches such as RDF, DAML-OIL, and DAML-S, will provide the supporting fertile environment for deploying and using Web services. It is expected that Web services will accelerate the deployment of e-commerce and e-government applications in a rate never seen before because of the converging standardization efforts. Key to achieving this goal is building an integrated Web service infrastructure that will provide efficiencies to e-commerce and e-government applications.
