The goal of the SWS Challenge is to develop a common understanding of various technologies intended to facilitate the automation of mediation, choreography and discovery for Web Services using semantic annotations. The intent of this challenge is to explore the trade-offs among existing approaches. Additionally we would like to figure out which parts of problem space may not yet be covered. The workshop aims to provide a forum for discussion based on a common application. This Challenge workshop seeks participation from industry and academic researchers developing software components and/or intelligent agents that have the ability to automate mediation, choreography and discovery processes between Web services.

This Challenge is related to but distinct from the IEEE Contest in several respects. First, the SWS Challenge focuses on the use of semantic annotations: participants will be provided with semantics in the form of natural language text that they can formalize and use in their technologies. Second, this is a challenge rather than a contest, meaning that workshop particpants will mutually evaluate and learn from each others' approaches. Finally, because of this methodology, we will limit the number of participants to a relatively small group. There will be a publishing opportunity.
