THEME OF RTSOAA 2010: *Real-Time Cloud Computing*

As the paradigm service-oriented computing gains more prominence in the
development of systems and commercial applications, the capability of
guaranteeing service timeliness is becoming a critical feature that elevates
an enterprise to the next level. Real time service-oriented architecture and
application (RTSOAA) evolve the traditional service-oriented computing
approach to the next level of excellence. RTSOAA presents a new set of
emerging issues and challenges that are expected to be identified, resolved
by the service-oriented computing community. This workshop is intended to
provide an effective forum for researchers and industry practitioners to
exchange research outcomes, issues, ideas, experiences, and lessons learned.


The theme of RTSOAA 2010 is Real-Time Cloud Computing. The examples of
research topics include (1) scientific and engineering approaches to meet
timing constraints and to select cloud-enabled services and resources for
optimizing the tradeoff between cost and efficiency;  (2) technical and
managerial issues of real-time cloud computing: modeling, infrastructure
composition, coordination, planning and scheduling, choreography,
deployment, configuration, collaboration, monitoring and control, and
governance. (3) real-time cloud computing platforms and infrastructures for
supporting application domains such as Healthcare, Green Data Center,
Large-Scale Analytics, Smart Cities, Workload Optimization Systems.


SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP

RTSOAA signifies an interdisciplinary area that covers disciplines such as
real-time systems, service-oriented architecture, software engineering,
decision technology, database management and so on. RTSOAA 2010 welcomes the
submission of papers from researchers and practitioners in the subjects
related but not limited to:

1. Real-Time Cloud Computing
- Real-time cloud computing infrastructure & platform
- Software Engineering issues for real-time cloud services
- Business-driven and model-driven real-time cloud computing
- Guaranteeing quality of real-time cloud services
- Case studies and best practices of using real-time cloud computing

2. Real-Time Cyber-Physical & Smart Living Services
- Use RTSOAA to guarantee quality-of-services provisioning
- Leverage RTSOAA to enable Evolvability and interoperability
- Security and privacy for RTSOAA based CPS
- Safety, robustness and availability issues and approaches using RTSOAA
- Smart Living Spaces such as intelligent building and smart city.

3. Domain-Specific Real-Time Service-Oriented Applications
- Real-time service-oriented modeling to support healthcare
- Monitoring and managing real-time service-based healthcare systems
- IT-enabled resource management (data center, supply chain etc)
- RTSOAA for intelligent transportation systems, power management, water and
waste management, and carbon emission management
- Real-time service-oriented infrastructure and modeling for smart cities &
intelligent buildings

4. Enabling Technologies for RTSOAA
- Event driven architecture for RTSOAA
- Database modeling & management for RTSOAA
- Policy driven management for RTSOAA

PAPER SUBMISSION INFORMATION

At least one of the authors of each accepted paper or fast abstract must
register by paying full registration fee as a participant of the workshop to
have the paper or fast abstract published in the proceedings. Each accepted
paper or fast abstract must be presented in person by an author. Submission
of full-length papers is limited to six pages. If a paper is accepted as
short paper its length must be reduced to no more than four pages. The other
type of paper is position paper that shows the preliminary results and your
position of specific problems. Position papers are limited to 2 pages. Page
counting includes all figures, tables, and references. All papers have to be
submitted to http://confhub.com/conf.php?id=183. The best
papers from the proceedings will be invited for submission to prestigious
journals.

The format of submitted papers should follow the guidelines for the IEEE
conference proceedings. Manuscripts will be limited to 6 pages including all
figures, tables, and references. The format of submitted papers must follow
the IEEE conference proceedings guidelines (i.e., 8.5" x 11", Two-Column
Format (see ftp://pubftp.computer.org/press/outgoing/proceedings/ ). All
papers will be carefully reviewed by at least three reviewers. All accepted
papers will be published in the electronic conference proceedings by the
IEEE Computer Society, indexed through INSPEC and EI Index (Elsevier's
Engineering Information Index), and automatically included in the IEEE
Digital Library.
