Service-Oriented Computing: Agents, Semantics, and Engineering -- Contract Observation in Web Services Environments -- Mechanism Design for Task Procurement with Flexible Quality of Service -- An Agent-Oriented Service Model for a Personal Information Manager -- Agent-Based Context Consistency Management in Smart Space Environments -- Using THOMAS for Service Oriented Open MAS -- Agent-Based Support for Context-Aware Provisioning of IMS-Enabled Ubiquitous Services -- Agent-Based Framework for Personalized Service Provisioning in Converged IP Networks -- Management Intelligence in Service-Level Reconfiguration of Distributed Network Applications -- Business Modeling via Commitments -- MAMS Service Framework.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the International Workshop on Service-Oriented Computing: Agents, Semantics and Engineering, SOCASE 2009, held in Budapest, Hungary, as an associated event of AAMAS 2009, the main international conference on autonomous agents and multi-agent systems. The 10 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers address a range of topics at the intersection of service-oriented computing, semantic technology, and intelligent multiagent systems, such as: service description and discovery; planning, composition and negotiation; semantic processes and service agents; as well as applications.
