================================================================== Last Call for Papers: 3rd International Workshop on Service Orientation in Computing and Logistics (SOC-LOG 2011)
In conjunction with the 9th International Conference on Service Oriented Computing (ICSOC 2011)
December 5-8, Paphos, Cyprus
Workshop website: http://soclog11.wifa.uni-leipzig.de ===================================================================
Workshop Theme ============== Service orientation is one of the most important paradigms of nowadays computing. Service orientation is also important for logistics: The objective of logistics is to service individual firms, supply chains, and entire industries with flexible means for realizing flows of goods from the point of origin to the point of destination. Logistics relies therefore essentially on the ability to sharing resources of different organizations, providing complex services based on existing services, coordinating service delivery across organizations, and maintaining an agreed quality of service. These requirements match closely to the characteristics of service orientation in computing.
This workshop aims at studying, grounding, and finally exploiting the potentials of service oriented computing to solving integration and coordination problems in logistics as a key enabler of flexible supply chains. Key research questions are: (1) How to represent logistics systems in service-based computing systems by employing and adopting constructs, models, and methods of the SOC technology stack, (2) how to describe software-based logistics services, (3) how to coordinate software-based logistics services, by employing and adopting approaches for service discovery and service composition, (4) how to negotiate and agree upon the delivery of software-based logistics services with approaches for SLA representation, SLA management, and SLA negotiation, and (5) how to control the delivery of software-based logistics services by measuring their efficiency and effectiveness?
Topics ====== In particular, we are inviting papers on the following topics: 1) Logistics services representation - Servicetization of logistics systems - Logistics service models - Reference models for logistics services - Semantic models for logistics services 2) Logistics services description - Semantic description of logistics services - Logistics ontologies / ontologies for logistics services - QoS attributes of logistics services 3) Management and coordination of logistics services - Discovery of logistics services - Composition of logistics services - Orchestration and choreography of logistics services - Market-based coordination of logistics services, i.e., auctions 4) SLA Management of logistics services - Domain-specific SLA models - Semantic annotation of SLAs for logistics services - SLA negotiation protocols for logistics services - Integrating logistics services into SLA management infrastructures 5) Delivery of logistics services - Logistics service runtime management and monitoring - Verification of logistics services - Simulation and optimization of logistics services - Transactional safeguarding of logistics services - SOA for the setup and enactment of logistics services
Paper Submission and Publication ================================ Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished research papers, as
- Full papers (up to 15 pages including all references and figures) or - Position papers (up to 5 pages including all references and figures)
on the listed or related topics.
Please submit papers via our electronic submission system which is available at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=soclog11.
All workshop papers will be included in the combined workshop post- proceedings of ICSOC 2011, which are planned to be published in Springer's LNCS Services Science Subline. Thus, papers must be prepared in the Springer LNCS style. All submissions will be peer- reviewed by members of the international program committee. Paper acceptance will be based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of presentation. For short position papers, clarity of exposition and the degree of innovation will be sufficient, whereas for full papers, a clear technical contribution is expected.
At least one author of an accepted paper must attend the workshop and present the work. Attendance of the workshop requires registration to the main ICSOC 2011 conference.
Key Dates ========= 15 September 2011: Submissions due 23 October 2011: Notification of acceptance 07 November 2011: Camera-ready submission 05 December 2011: Workshop (1 day)
