They function as inter-enterprise e-Markets where software components can be delivered and consumed based on Utility Computing, On Demand, or Pay-Per-Use business models. A typical BSN consists of networked grid computing infrastructures where Web Services can be securely published, reused, and invoked using the Business Process Execution Language for Web Services (BPEL). They extend the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) of each market participant by adding an e-Service Commerce layer, which provides industrial-strength transaction management and Service Level Agreements (SLA). For software vendors, BSN's represent a fast track to convert their existing applications to the SOA. For business adopters, these networks provide rich repositories of trusted software components, application services, and business processes. Overall, all parties to a BSN can leverage their IT assets in infinite ways, and generate new streams of revenues and cost savings that would not be possible without such an e-Market. Scope: We invite papers that address both business and technical issues of BSN's from various perspectives, including BSN operators, software vendors, business adopters, developers, and end-users. We encourage contributions from both academia and industry. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. BSN Operators: 1.a. Business Models and Architectures 1.b. Spin-Offs from Outsourcing Providers 1.c. Mobile Operators and Grid Services 1.d. Industry-Specific B2B Integration Alliances 1.e. Inter-BSN Alliances and Interoperability 2. Software Vendors: 2.a. Market Value for Software Vendors 2.b. SOA-Enablement of Software Vendors 2.c. Pricing and Marketing On Demand Software 2.d. Service Level Agreements (SLA) 2.e. Software Vendors from Developing Countries 3. Business Adopters: 3.a. Comparing IT Sourcing Models (BSN, ASP, etc.) 3.b. International Provisioning and Adoption Barriers 3.c. Real-Time Transaction Monitoring 3.d. Quality of Service (QoS) 3.e. Accounting Systems for Utility Computing 4. Developers: 4.a. SOA Development Methods 4.b. Visual and Model-Driven Development Environments 4.c. Composite Processes with Messages, Documents, and Services 4.d. ebSOA and Business Patterns 4.e. Universal Business Language (UBL) 5. End-Users: 5.a. User-Driven Business Process Composition 5.b. Automated Discovery and Composition 5.c. User Specialization and Automated Coordination 5.d. Semantic Web and Domain Specialization 5.e.
