SOCA 2013 Call for Papers

The 6th IEEE International Conference on
Service-Oriented Computing and Applications
December 16-18, 2013
Kauai, Hawaii
Call for Papers
Service-oriented computing is considered today a key
technology for the development of robust and high quality
intelligent distributed and embedded applications.
Extensive research and development in the past few years
has pushed SOA technology into state-of-the-art
application areas such as context-aware, cloud-connected,
mobile enterprise systems. However, many of the critical
components on building reliable, robust, and user-centric
sensor-based SOA systems are still open for research.
Hence, it is timely to reexamine SOA research
opportunities and identify new research challenges for
next generation SOA.
One of the future SOA applications is large-scale
cyber-physical systems (CPSs) that include deep
interactions between cyber-sides and physical-sides
through massive sensors, actuators, mobile devices, and
computing servers connected by heterogeneous networks. The
services of large-scale CPSs have challenging
requirements such as accurate timeliness, high
reliability, and dynamic adaptability. Many of the service
components are deployed on resource limited embedded
systems and are performance sensitive; others are deployed
on cloud servers providing highly parallel services.
Thus, SOA may provide effective solutions for managing
the ever-increasing complexity while meeting the
challenging requirements of CPS services on largely
distributed, heterogeneous and dynamic resource
environments.
The 2013 IEEE International Conference on
Service-Oriented Computing and Applications (SOCA 2013)
will be held in Kauai, Hawaii, with topics of general
service oriented computing and also the focused area of
SOA for large-scale CPSs. The conference includes three
days of parallel tracks program, special-topic workshops/
tutorials, and panel discussion.
We invite submissions of high quality papers describing
fully developed results or ongoing work on the topics such
as:
• Service-oriented
architecture, engineering, and applications
• Large-scale
cyber-physical systems
• Intelligent
service composition, management and maintenance
• Configurable and
reconfigurable service middleware
• Dependable and
trustworthy services
• Streaming and
real-time data analytics
• Mobile service
engineering and applications
• Security and
privacy for intelligent service applications
• Context-aware
connected embedded computing
• Service
composition with multi-dimensional QoS
• Service networks
for smart home, smart transportation, and smart
infrastructure
• Sustainability
issues on large-scale CPS applications

Workshop Program: December 16-18, 2013
Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished
research papers that are not being considered in another
forum. Manuscripts will be limited to 8 (IEEE style)
pages. Please follow the IEEE Computer Society Press
Proceedings Author Guidelines to prepare your papers with
8.5'' x 11'', two-column format. The paper formatting
instructions are available athttp://
www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting.
All papers submitted to SOCA 2013 will be peer-reviewed
by at least 3 reviewers. Papers that are selected for
presentation at SOCA 2013 will appear in the Proceedings
of SOCA 2013 and be included in IEEE Xplore and indexed by
EI. Each paper accepted for SOCA 2013 requires at least
one author to register at the full rate (IEEE member or
non-IEEE member). At least one author is required to
attend the conference and present the paper.
The best papers from the proceedings will be selected
for publication in the Springer Journal on
Service-Oriented Computing and Applications (SOCA) as well
as special issues in international journals to be
announced. Furthermore, a Best Paper Award will be
presented to the best paper selected from the accepted
full papers.
Call for Workshop Proposals
Proposal for workshops on focused emerging topics are
also solicited. The papers in the workshops will be
published in the SOCA proceedings that will be included in
the IEEE Digital Library. Workshop proposals can be
submitted by sending e-mails to the workshop co-chairs,
Takayuki Ito (
ito.takayuki@nitech.ac.jp)
at Nagoya Institute of Technology and
Alexander Lazovik (
