Please note that the deadline for paper submission to SEKE'09 has been extended to March 16th 2009. The updated calls for papers of the special track "Business Value of SOA" and of the overall conference follow below.
CALL FOR PAPERS of the Special Track "Business Value of Service-Oriented Architectures" at The Twenty-First International Conference on Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering (SEKE'09) Boston, July 1-3 2009 (URL: http://www.ksi.edu/seke/seke09.html )
SCOPE of the Special Track: Service-based computing and service-oriented organizational paradigms, often jointly captured by the term of Service-oriented Architecture (SOA), promise to support the implementation of large-scale business processes and simultaneously to offer increased flexibility in reacting to changing processual and market demands. There is many ongoing research on the technical aspects of effectively designing, implementing and maintaining SOA, but one of the most fundamental questions has still found scarce attention: What is the actual Business Value from adopting SOA? And moreover, how can we evaluate and measure it - ideally before adopting the service-oriented paradigm both on the business level and on the IT architecture level. In order to determine the importance of different aspects of SOA from an economic and strategic perspective, potential adopters need support in estimating the benefits, risks, and efforts associated with SOA. This should help aligning business and IT side of the firm in order to accomplish efficient and effective decision making about introducing SOA.
This special track is organized in SEKE'09 to bring together researchers and practitioners from both the service engineering and the business management side to discuss pressing issues regarding the Business Value of SOA. Topics of specific interest for this track are:
. Methods to evaluate the Business Value of SOA (such as, economic evaluation instruments, real-option approaches, etc.) . Value of SOA-based application integration and legacy applications . Relationship of SOA and Business/IT Alignment . Role of SOA for Efficient Business Process Outsourcing . Determining re-use and re-usability of services . Migration to SOA-based Enterprise Architectures ("Service-oriented Enterprise") . Case studies on determining the Return of implementing SOA . Methods, frameworks, and tools to assess the business benefits and risks from running SOA for companies . Successful application of SOA in the finance industry, logistics, healthcare
The track is also open for additional related topics not listed, however all submitted papers should clearly focus on the application in a SOA setting.
IMPORTANT DATES (as for the main conference):
. Paper submission due: March 16, 2009 (EXTENDED!) . Notification of acceptance: April 10, 2009 (UPDATED) . Camera-ready copy: May 1, 2009 . Conference: July 1 - 3, 2009
SUBMISSION Papers must be written in English. An electronic version (Postscript, PDF, or MS Word format) of the full paper should be submitted using the following URL: http://conf.ksi.edu/seke09/submit/SubmitPaper.php. Manuscripts must include a 200-word abstract and no more than 6 pages of IEEE double column text (include figures and references).
