Introduction:
Following the success of the first workshop in 2005, the
University of
Leicester is pleased to host the 2nd European Young
Researchers
Workshop on Service Oriented Computing (co-organised with De
Montfort
University). This 2-day workshop is designed to bring
together PhD
students, young researchers working in the industry and
those who
completed their doctoral studies within the past few years.
Attendance
at the workshop is open to all. The aim of the workshop is
to build a
reputable and respectable forum for young researchers with
inputs from
industry practitioners. The core objectives are to exchange
information
regarding advancements in the state of the art and practice
of SOC, as
well as to identify the emerging research topics and define
the future
trends in this domain.

Keynote Speakers:
Steve Ross-Talbot (Pi4tech, UK)
Martin Wirsing (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München,
Germany)
(we are also awaiting confirmation from two internationally
recognised speakers)
