CALL FOR PAPERS
--------------------------------------------------------------------- The International Workshop on Intelligent Service Management (ISM'09)
https://sabreconference.wifa.uni-leipzig.de/frontend/index.php?folder_id=207
March 24th, 2009, Leipzig, Germany ---------------------------------------------------------------------
collocated with SOFTWARE, AGENTS, AND SERVICES FOR BUSINESS, RESEARCH, AND E-SCIENCES (SABRE 2009), http://www.sabre-conference.com.
Mission ------- Service-oriented computing has emerged as the most promising design paradigm for distributed information systems. The vision of service-oriented computing is to capture business relevant functionalities of existing software systems as services and use service composition to form composite applications. While this vision has yet to be achieved in practise, in particular the application of intelligent systems and techniques promises significant advancements for an adaptive and reliable construction and management of service-oriented applications and systems. The purpose of the workshop is to present and discuss recent significant developments at the intersections of service-oriented computing and intelligent systems and technologies, and to promote cross-fertilization of ideas and techniques between these fields. In particular, the workshop focuses on techniques from multi-agent systems and artificial intelligence research for an automated construction and management of service-oriented applications/composite services. This includes critical challenges such as agent-based service composition management, self-managed service compositions, intelligent management of service quality concerns, adaptive and reliable evolution and optimization of services.
Topics ------ ISM'09 encourages a multidisciplinary perspective and welcomes papers that address intelligent management of service-oriented applications and systems in general or in the context of specific domains. Workshop topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * Intelligent techniques for determining quality requirements for SOA-based systems * Intelligent deployment, monitoring, control and exception-handling for service execution and delivery * Agent-based negotiation and management of service quality aspects * Intelligent Service Level Agreement lifecycle management mechanisms (development, negotiation, deployment, monitoring, compliance evaluation, termination) * Agent-enabled adaptation, evolution, and optimization of services and processes * Intelligent management frameworks and platforms for service-oriented computing * Agent-based service composition, orchestration, and choreography * Self-managed service compositions and processes that exhibit intelligent adaptive and autonomic properties * Integration and management of agent-based services and service-oriented agents * Resource models for intelligent management of specific QoS requirements * Intelligent management of the QoS mapping between business processes and the underlying SOA-based systems * Autonomic and intelligent QoS management in SOA-based systems * Applications and case studies of intelligent service management
Key dates --------- * (Extended) Submission Deadline: 15 December 2008 * Notification of Acceptance: 05 January 2009 * Camera-ready Submission: 15 January 2009 * Workshop: 24 March 2009
Submission and publication -------------------------- Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished research papers. Papers should be written in English and must not exceed 12 pages, strictly following Springer LNCS style (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) including all text, references, appendices, and figures. Please, submit papers via the SABRE conference management tool in PDF format. For submission, authors are supposed to register with the SABRE conference management tool, create an entry of their intended full paper submission, and upload their paper until paper submission deadline (05 December 2009). 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. Accepted papers will be included in the workshop proceedings, and circulated to participants prior to the event. Workshop proceedings are planned to be published in a Springer LNCS volume subject to the quality of submissions. A selection of best papers will also be invited to submit extended and enhanced versions of the papers to a special issue of a major international journal. At least one author of an accepted paper must register and participate in the workshop. Registration is subject to the terms, conditions and procedure of the SABRE conference to be found on their website http://www.sabre-conference.org/.
