✦ Synopsis

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Workshop on Service-Oriented Computing: Agents, Semantics, and Engineering, SOCASE 2008, held in Estoril, Portugal, as an associated event of AAMAS 2008, the main international conference on autonomous agents and multi-agent systems.

The 11 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers address a range of topics at the intersection of service-oriented computing, semantic technology, and intelligent multiagent systems, such as: service description and discovery; planning, composition and negotiation; semantic processes and service agents; and applications.
