9TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
ON SERVICE ORIENTED COMPUTING (ICSOC) 2011
December 5 - 8 2011, Paphos, Cyprus
LAST CALL FOR PAPERS
(Please note that the research paper submission has a new
deadline)
====================================================
THE CONFERENCE
Since 2003, The International Conference on Service-Oriented
Computing (ICSOC) has been the main forum for academics and
industry researchers and developers to report and share
groundbreaking works in service-oriented computing. ICSOC aims
at fostering
cross-community scientific excellence and collaboration by the
gathering of experts from various disciplines, such as business
process management, distributed systems, computer networks,
ubiquitous computing, grid computing, service science,
management science,
and software engineering.
Service innovation is key to the future of business. Even in
traditionally manufacturing-driven industries, such as IT, the
importance of service has surpassed most other corporate
competences. The Internet and Web-based services create ever
more opportunities
for service innovation. Service science is an interdisciplinary
approach to the study, design, and implementation of service
systems - the specific arrangements of people, organizations,
technologies, and information that co-create value. Service
systems are
often IT-enabled and knowledge-intensive, and can span different
real or virtual organizations. In this multidisciplinary
context, researchers and practitioners in management, social
sciences, and computer sciences are all working together to
promote and facilitate
service innovation.
While keeping its roots in scientific excellence and
technical depth of service technology, ICSOC 2011 aims at
examining the research opportunities that are offered by the
possible blend of service-oriented computing with cloud
computing. In cloud computing,
software platforms, applications and data reside in providers'
servers called clouds. By making clouds ubiquitously available,
a more rapid and low cost access to a shared pool of virtualized
and configurable computing resources is offered to enterprises
that
would like to diversify their application computation and data
storage strategies. "Service-oriented and cloud computing" is
this time the main theme for ICSOC 2011. Questions like how does
service-oriented computing support the transition to cloud-based
solutions,
and how does it support Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS),
Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS)
models are highlighted for researchers to be discussed during
the conference.
ICSOC 2011 will bring together scientists, engineers, and
practitioners from multiple disciplines to focus on
service-oriented, cloud-based innovative for the 21st century
enterprises. The conference will feature research and industry
presentations, keynote
presentations, workshops, demonstrations, tutorials, and a PhD
track. Please refer to
www.icsoc.org
for calls for workshops, demonstrations, and tutorials.
ICSOC 2011 will take place in Coral Beach resort near the
city of Paphos, Cyprus. More details on the venue,
accommodation, and transportation are available at icsoc.org.
Prior editions of ICSOC took place respectively in Trento, New
York City, Amsterdam,
Chicago, Vienna, Sydney, Stockholm, and San Francisco.

RESEARCH AND INDUSTRY PAPERS
The conference solicits outstanding original research and
practice papers on all aspects of service-oriented, cloud-based
computing. Papers should clearly demonstrate the research or
practical contribution, the relevance to the field, and the
relation
to prior work. Submitted papers will be evaluated according to
their rigor, significance, originality, technical quality, and
exposition.
PAPER SUBMISSION
Prospective authors must submit abstracts prior to submitting
full papers. Full papers are not to exceed 15 pages including
all references and figures. All papers must be prepared in the
Springer LNCS format and be submitted electronically (in PDF)
via
