The goal of this workshop is to focus on the fundamental challenges related to SOA, to discuss what architectural/theoretical foundation is needed, and how this foundation can be supported from new or (extensions of) available technologies. The workshop aims at contributing to the dissemination of research results, establishment of a better understanding, and identification of new challenges, by bringing together academic and industrial researchers interested in the future of service-oriented architecture. Topics of interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to:

- Service Usage Issues
        - service registration, update, de-registration
        - service discovery, matching, selection
        - service invocation, interaction
        - service mediation, orchestration

- Service Design Issues
        - model-driven development, platform-independence
        - service and interoperability concepts
        - ontology-centred design
        - requirements-functionality alignment

- Service Infrastruture Issues
        - architectural patterns
        - service registry management
        - quality-of-service management
        - cross-domain service delivery

- Service Technology Issues
        - specific technology platform solutions
        - language-specific solutions
        - tool support
        - applicability and performance experiences
