             *******CALL FOR PARTICIPATION AND ACCEPTED PAPERS*******
                              1st Workshop on
                Semantics in Peer-to-Peer and Grid Computing
                                   at the
              Twelfth International World Wide Web Conference
                       20 May 2003, Budapest, Hungary
                          in cooperation with the
                 GGF Semantic Grid Research Group (SEM-GRD)
             Workshop URL: http://www.isi.edu/~stefan/SemPGRID
             Registration at: http://www.www2003.org/registration.html
    
    Topics and Content
    -----------------------------------
    The  Semantic Web is widely accepted as a means to enhance the Web
    with machine processable content. However, mostly the Semantic Web
    is  aiming  at techniques and technologies for static information,
    in  contrast to dynamic services or distributed computing. Several
    interest  groups  and  efforts  are  working on infrastructure for
    enabling  distributed computing. The organization of these efforts
    are  in part top down organized efforts, involving multiple formal
    organizations  and  dedicated  projects,  and  bottom-up  efforts,
    sometimes  started  by  single  organizations  or individuals in a
    grassroots effort.
    
    The  Grid  is  aiming  at  technologies  which allow the flexible,
    secure,  coordinated resource sharing among dynamic collections of
    individuals,   institutions,   and   resources,  enabling  virtual
    organizations.   Problems   encountered   include  authentication,
    authorization,    resource   access,   resource   discovery,   and
    interoperation  of  active services. The same problems are eminent
    in  the  Peer-to-Peer  (P2P)  area,  where  projects are typically
    organized  in  a  bottom-up fashion. Reusable infrastructures like
    SUN's   JXTA   are  emerging,  attracting  numerous  applications.
    However, each application uses its own data format, and it is hard
    to see how applications interoperate.
    
    A  related  area  is  Web  Services:  driven  by  industry efforts
    numerous  specifications  are developed, which are of interest for
    the  Grid  projects  as  well  as  for  the  Peer-to-Peer efforts.
    Although  there  is  an  agreement that Web Services would benefit
    from  more  semantics, little systematic research has been done on
    the problem of how to combine the notions of Web Services with the
    results  of  the  Semantic  Web,  Peer-to-Peer and Grid computing.
    
    The  workshop  will  be  organized around talks presenting
    research  results in the intersection of the Semantic Web, P2P and
    Grid  computing and discussions.
