<p class="MsoNormal">About SWESE</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-----------------------------------------------------------</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There has been more and more evidence that the usage of Semantic Web technologies leads to improvements in
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">both the process and product of software and service development and management activities.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The goal of the SWESE workshop is to advance research on this this important area. We believe that the
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">informal nature of the workshop, located at one of the major events in service-oriented computing,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">will lead to further exchange between practitioners and researchers working on issues related to</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Semantic Web Enabled Software and Service Engineering by providing a forum for discussing</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">the major challenges of the area and the different approaches being taken to resolve them.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Workshop Scope</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-----------------------------------------------------------</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">During the last five years, a number of successful attempts showed the advantages of Semantic Web
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">technologies in software and service engineering including reusability and extensibility of data models,
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">improvements in data quality and data integration, and discovery and automated execution of workflows.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The scope of the SWESE workshop is to investigate any potential benefits of using Semantic Web
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">knowledge representations (ontologies) and reasoning technologies in service engineering, management,
