This document presents a Services Research Roadmap that launches
four pivotal, inherently related, research themes to
Service-Oriented Computing (SOC): service foundations, service
composition, service management and monitoring and service-oriented
engineering. Each theme is introduced briefly from a technology,
state of the art and scientific challenges standpoint. From the
technology standpoint a comprehensive review of state of the art,
standards, and current research activities in each key area is
provided. From the state of the art the major open problems and
bottlenecks to progress are identified. During the during seminar
each core theme was initially introduced by a leading expert in the
field who described the state of the art and highlighting open
problems and important research topics for the SOC community to work
on in the future. These experts were then asked to coordinate
parallel workgroups that were entrusted with an in-depth analysis of
the research opportunities and needs in the respective theme. The
findings presented in this summary report build on the advice of
those panels of experts from industry and academia who participated
in this Dagstuhl Seminar and met at other occasions during the past
three years, e.g., at the International Conference on Service
Oriented Computing (ICSOC, see www.icsoc.org). These experts
represent many disciplines including distributed computing, database
and information systems, software engineering, computer
architectures and middleware and knowledge representation.
