The proceedings of the 2004 European Conference on Web Services (ECOWS 2004) highlight one of the leading international forums for researchers and practitioners in the field. This conference served as a platform for sharing advancements in Web services, exploring emerging research topics, and shaping future directions in Web services computing. Special emphasis was placed on papers that bridge Web services with Grid computing, e-business, and autonomic computing, as well as those applying techniques across these domains. ECOWS 2004 followed the 2003 International Conference on Web Services Europe and was closely linked to the International Conference on Web Services 2004 (ICWS 2004), which drew over 250 participants in San Diego, USA. Web services are defined by their network-based application components and service-oriented architecture, utilizing standard interface description languages and uniform communication protocols. Key industrial applications include business-to-business integration, business process management, content management, e-sourcing, and multimedia communication. Additionally, Grid computing has begun to utilize Web services for establishing standard interfaces for business Grid services. The conference program featured diverse topics, including dynamic business process composition, Web services security, and applications for e-commerce and Grid computing.
