The Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Web Services Research (JWSR) would like to invite you to consider submitting a manuscript for inclusion in this scholarly journal.

Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts for possible publication in the International Journal of Web Services Research (JWSR). As the architecture and integration technology foundation of Services Computing (www.servicescomputing.org), Web Services and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) are among the most important emerging technologies in the e-business, computer software and communication industries. The Web Services and SOA technologies will redefine the way that companies do business and exchange information in twenty-first century. They will enhance business efficiency by enabling dynamic provisioning of resources from a pool of distributed resources. Due to the importance of the field, there is a significant amount of ongoing research in the areas. In a parallel effort, standardization organizations are actively developing standards for Web Services and SOA. The Web Services and SOA are creating what will become one of the most significant industries of the new century. The International Journal of Web Services Research is designed to be a valuable resource providing leading technologies, development, ideas, and trends to an international readership of researchers and engineers in the field of Web Services and SOA.

As the first refereed, international publication featuring only the latest research findings and industry solutions dealing with all aspects of Web services and SOA technology, the International Journal of Web Services Research (JWSR) has been indexed by Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E) beginning with V.3(1) 2006. I would like to send my thanks to YOU as an author, review board member, associate editor, and technical community members for your high-quality contributions.
