Web服务为Internet系统提供的服务提供声明性接口，包括消息传递协议、标准接口、目录服务以及安全层，以实现高效/有效的业务应用程序集成。网格计算已经成为一个全球平台，支持组织协调共享分布式数据、应用程序和流程。它还开始利用Web服务为业务服务定义标准接口。IJWGS解决了Web和网格服务技术，强调了架构、实现和标准化问题。涵盖的主题包括：Web服务建模、性能Web服务框架、体系结构、基础架构Web语义学Web服务规范、发现、安全、质量网格服务的工作流规划/组合软件/可靠性工程电网服务安全网格中的业务语义、元数据、本体网格服务兼容性/集成/互操作性/策略/代理智能服务网格服务业务模型/应用程序电网服务/基础设施、性能、测试、基准测试Web服务，语义Web代理技术、网络服务/网格基础设施中的代理网格融合、面向服务架构的融合
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
