Call for Papers and Posters

5th European Young Researchers Workshop on Service Oriented Computing 
(yrsoc.org)

in conjunction with Karlsruhe Service Summer (service-summer.org)

16-17th July 2010, Karlsruhe, Germany

Dear colleagues (with apologies for cross-posting),

You are invited to submit research papers to the 5th European Young 
Researchers Workshop on Service Oriented Computing to be held as part of 
the Karlsruhe Service Summer. We are pleased to announce that this 
year's workshop will immediately precede the 1st Karlsruhe Summer School 
on Service Research, and young researchers are encouraged to consider 
attending the events in conjunction, though the workshop registration is 
open.

The YRSOC workshop series is designed to bring together PhD students, 
junior researchers working in the industry and those who completed their 
doctoral studies within the past few years. The aim of the workshop is 
to build a reputable and respectable forum for junior researchers with 
inputs from industry practitioners. The core objectives are to exchange 
information regarding advancements in the state of the art and practice 
of SOC, as well as to identify the emerging research topics and define 
the future trends in this domain.

YR-SOC presentations will be selected according to originality, 
significance, and general interest. Two types of submissions are sought: 
Papers in the range of 5-15 pages and posters in the form of 2-5 page 
abstracts. The workshop's preproceedings with the accepted papers and 
poster abstracts will be available at the workshop.

Authors must clearly explain the contribution of their work in terms of 
its theoretical and/or practical value, as well as its relationships 
with the related literature. Papers must be written in English, and 
should also include an abstract and a list of key words. Papers must 
submitted in PDF form through EasyChair 
(http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=yrsoc2010).

Scope
-------

Service oriented computing is more than just ideas related to services 
in themselves: in particular it is a chance to bring together the 
business/user domain and the services domain. The word 'service' 
encompasses web services, semantic web services, grid services and 
e-services.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

    * Mathematical foundations of SOC
    * XaaS (Software as a Service, Platform as a Service, Network as a 
Service, etc.)
    * Cloud Computing and Services
    * Internet of Services and interactions with other aspects of 
Future Internet (e.g. Internet of Things)
    * Service Engineering
    * Frameworks for building SOC applications
    * Composite SOC creation and enabling infrastructures (e.g. 
workflow technology)
    * SOC composition, orchestration, and choreography
    * Data management issues in SOC
    * SOC modelling & design
    * Semantic Web, ontologies, and SOC
    * Agents and SOC
    * Dynamic invocation mechanisms for SOC
    * Contractual issues between provider and consumer of SOC
    * Version management in SOC
    * Customization of SOC
    * SOC architecture
    * SOC negotiation & agreement
    * SOC discovery &amo; selection
    * UDDI and SOAP enhancements
    * SOC and process management
    * Trust, security & privacy in SOC
    * Scalability and performance of SOC
    * SOC standards and technologies
    * Automatic computing for SOC infrastructure
    * Wireless web, mobility, and SOC
    * SOC based Grid Computing and peer to peer computing
    * SOC based applications for e-commerce
    * Quality of service for SOC
    * Multimedia applications using SOC
    * Economics and pricing models of utility computing and SOC
    * Resource management of SOC
    * Solution management for SOC
    * Adoption of SOC by organizations
    * Case studies on SOC based applications
    * Analysis, testing, and verification of Services
    * Context aware services
    * Business modelling for services
