CALL FOR PAPERS
2nd International Workshop on Intelligent Service Management (ISM 2010)
http://enase.org/ISM.htm, 22-24 July 2010, Athens - Greece
In conjunction with ENASE 2010 (http://www.enase.org) and ICSOFT 2010 (http://www.icsoft.org)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Motivation
----------
Service-oriented computing (SOC) has emerged as the most promising design paradigm for distributed information systems. SOC specifies services as the basic building blocks for autonomous business or technical functionality provides means of achieving a separation of concerns, supporting functions of both integration and infrastructure management and offers promising opportunities for organizing and managing IT infrastructures in dynamic business and information systems. With its set of design principles, architectural models and concepts and last but not least with its existing set of standards, it promotes adaptive service management concepts and flexible and re-configurable service provisioning. 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 practice, in particular the application of intell
igent 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.

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Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished research papers.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 refer to the ENASE Paper Formats, Submission and Publication Guidelines (http://enase.org/Pformat_sub_pub.htm). Please, submit papers via the PRIMORIS conference management tool in PDF format (http://www.insticc.org/primoris).
For submission, authors are supposed to register with PRIMORIS conference management tool (http://www.insticc.org/primoris), create an entry of their intended full paper submission, and upload their paper until paper submission deadline.
All submissions will be peer-reviewed by members of the international program committee. Paper acceptance will be based on contribution, originality/novelty, technical depth/merit, and quality 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 ENASE conference to be found on their website http://enase.org.
