Web services are providing declarative interfaces to services offered by systems on the Internet, including messaging protocols, standard interfaces, directory services, as well as security layers, for efficient/effective business application integration. Grid computing has emerged as a global platform to support organisations for coordinated sharing of distributed data, applications, and processes. It has also started to leverage web services to define standard interfaces for business services. IJWGS addresses web and grid service technology, emphasising issues of architecture, implementation, and standardisation.Topics covered includeWeb services modelling, performanceWeb Service frameworks, architectures, infrastructuresWeb semanticsWeb Services specification, discovery, security, qualityWorkflow planning/composition for grid servicesSoftware/reliability engineeringSecurity for grid servicesBusiness semantics, metadata, ontologies in gridsGrid service compatibility/integration/interoperability/policy/agentsIntelligent servicesGrid service business models/applicationsGrid services/infrastructures, performance, testing, benchmarkingWeb services, semantic webAgent technology, web services/agents in grid infrastructureGrid convergence, confluence of service-oriented architectures
