Second International Workshop on Service-Oriented Computing in Logistics, San Francisco, US
7 December 2010 - 7 December 2010
United States
The Second International Workshop on Service-Oriented Computing in Logistics will take place from 7 to 10 December 2010 in San Francisco, US.
Logistics is a key component of many industries. It plans and realises the flow of goods from sources to destinations by managing space, time and quantity. Information and communication technology is an important part of solving the myriad of challenges facing logistics stakeholders, supporting supply chain collaboration, and managing increasing economic dynamics.
Research on managing the logistics in supply chains that are dynamically changing is still developing. Service-oriented computing (SOC) is a promising paradigm which automates inter-organisational processes by loosely coupled software-based services.
The focus of this workshop will be to explore the potential of SOC to solve coordination problems in logistics systems and supply chains. Topics will include how to:
- represent logistics systems in service-based computing systems by employing and adopting constructs, models, and methods of the SOC technology stack,
- describe software-based logistics services with service description languages,
- coordinate software-based logistics services, by employing and adopting approaches for service discovery and service composition,
- negotiate and agree about the delivery of software-based logistics services,
- control the delivery and how to measure the efficiency and effectiveness of software-based logistics services.For further information, please visit: http://soclog10.wifa.uni-leipzig.de/(opens in new window)
