Call for Papers

The First International Workshop on RESTful Design (WS-REST 2010) aims
to provide a forum for discussion and dissemination of research on the
emerging resource-oriented style of Web service design.

Background

Over the past few years, several discussions between advocates of the
two major architectural styles for designing and implementing Web
services (the RPC/ESB-oriented approach and the resource-oriented
approach) have been mainly held outside of the research and academic
community, within dedicated mailing lists, forums and practitioner
communities. The RESTful approach to Web services has also received a
significant amount of attention from industry as indicated by the
numerous technical books being published on the topic.

This first edition of WS-REST, co-located with the WWW2010 conference,
aims at providing an academic forum for discussing current emerging
research topics centered around the application of REST, as well as
advanced application scenarios for building large scale distributed systems.

In addition to presentations on novel applications of RESTful Web
services technologies, the workshop program will also include
discussions on the limits of the applicability of the REST architectural
style, as well as recent advances in research that aim at tackling new
problems that may require to extend the basic REST architectural style.
The organizers are seeking novel and original, high quality paper
submissions on research contributions focusing on the following topics:

* Applications of the REST architectural style to novel domains
* Design Patterns and Anti-Patterns for RESTful services
* RESTful service composition
* Inverted REST (REST for push events)
* Integration of Pub/Sub with REST
* Performance and QoS Evaluations of RESTful services
* REST compliant transaction models
* Mashups
* Frameworks and toolkits for RESTful service implementations
* Frameworks and toolkits for RESTful service consumption
* Modeling RESTful services
* Resource Design and Granularity
* Evolution of RESTful services
* Versioning and Extension of REST APIs
* HTTP extensions and replacements
* REST compliant protocols beyond HTTP
* Multi-Protocol REST (REST architectures across protocols)

All workshop papers are peer-reviewed and accepted papers will be
published as part of the ACM Digital Library. Two kinds of contributions
are sought: short position papers (not to exceed 4 pages in ACM style
format) describing particular challenges or experiences relevant to the
scope of the workshop, and full research papers (not to exceed 8 pages
in the ACM style format) describing novel solutions to relevant
problems. Technology demonstrations are particularly welcome, and we
encourage authors to focus on "lessons learned" rather than describing
an implementation.

Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format. Submit at the
WS-REST 2010 EasyChair installation
