                  First International Workshop on REsource Discovery (RED)


                    http://bioinformatics.eas.asu.edu/RED/red2008.html

		                     in conjunction with
 10th International Conference on Information Integration and Web-based Applications & Services
                                          (iiWAS2008)
					24-26 November 2008
					Linz, Austria from 



A  resource  corresponds to an  information source  such as a  data repository or  database 
management system (e.g., a query form or a textual search engine), a link between resources
(an index or hyperlink),  or  a service  such as  an application  or  tool.  Resources  are 
characterized  by core information  including  a name,  a description of  its input and its 
output (parameters or format),  its address, and various additional properties expressed as 
metadata. 

Resource discovery  is the process of identifying and locating existing resources that have 
a particular property. Machine-based resource discovery relies on crawling, clustering, and 
classifying  resources  discovered  on the Web automatically.  Resources are organized with 
respect to metadata that characterize their content (for data sources), their semantics (in 
terms  of  ontological  classes  and  relationships),   their characteristics  (syntactical 
properties),  their performance  (with metrics and benchmarks),   their quality  (curation, 
reliability, trust),  etc.  Resource discovery systems allow the  expression of  queries to 
identify and locate resources that implement specific tasks. 

The  International  Workshop on  Resource Discovery  aims at bringing together researchers, 
developers,  and practitioners to discuss  research issues and experience in developing and 
deploying  concepts,  applications,  and  solutions  addressing  various  issues related to 
resource discovery.  Papers  presenting  either  theoretical  or  applicative  material are 
expected.  Because of the  dynamic  research  and  development  effort  towards  supporting 
resource discovery for the life sciences,  we expect to receive many  contributions  in the 
scope of this very  exciting application domain.  However,  we encourage  the submission of 
generic solutions  or  the presentation of  application experiences  other  than related to 
life sciences.


Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

- Service publication standards (UDDI, OWL-S, etc.)
- Web services
- BioMoby services
- Resource semantics
- Resource formats and metadata
- Resource metadata for efficient execution
- Data-centric Web services
- Domain ontologies for resources
- Metadata models for describing web resources
- Automatic extraction of metadata in particular with Web 2.0 tools (wikis, blogs...)
- Models for registration of resources
- Automatic registration of resources
- Resource indexing
- Visualization of resource metadata
- Query languages for resource discovery
- user-friendly interface for resource discovery
- Resource mining, discovering services on the Web
- Mobile web services
- Service discovery protocols
- Identification protocols that can distinguish between resources and metadata
- Interoperability-driven resource discovery
- Discovery for integration, composition, workflow, dataflow 
- Metadata for resource mapping
- Dynamic service composition
- Service efficiency prediction
- QoS-based service discovery
- Resource relevance measures
- Semantics-driven resource discovery
- Discovery on the private (or invisible) web
