CALL FOR PAPERS
===============
8th European Conference and Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing
(ESOCC
2020)
April 1-3, 2020, Heraklion, Crete, Greece
https://www.esocc-conf.eu
---------
Scope
---------
Service-oriented and cloud computing have made a huge impact both
on the
software industry and on the research community. Today, service
and cloud
technologies are applied to build large-scale software landscapes
as well
as to provide single software services to end users. Services
today are
independently developed and deployed as well as freely composed
while they
can be implemented in a variety of technologies, a quite important
fact
from a business perspective. Similarly, cloud computing aims at
enabling
flexibility by offering a centralized sharing of resources. The
industry's
need for agile and flexible software and IT systems has made cloud
computing the dominating paradigm for provisioning computational
resources
in a scalable, on-demand fashion. Nevertheless, service
developers,
providers, and integrators still need to create methods, tools and
techniques to support cost-effective and secure development as
well as use
of dependable devices, platforms, services and service-oriented
applications in the cloud.
The European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing
(ESOCC) is
the premier conference on advances in the state of the art and
practice of
service-oriented computing and cloud computing in Europe. The main
objectives of this conference are to facilitate the exchange
between
researchers and practitioners in the areas of service-oriented
computing
and cloud computing, as well as to explore the new trends in those
areas
and foster future collaborations in Europe and beyond.
---------
Tracks
---------
- Main conference: three days full of invited talks, panels, and
presentations of selected research papers, including a dedicated
day to
satellite workshops.
- PhD Symposium: an opportunity for Ph.D. students to present
their
research activities and perspectives, to critically discuss them
with other
PhD students and with established researchers in the area, hence
getting
fruitful feedback and advices on their research activities
- European Projects Track: a useful opportunity for researchers
around
Europe to disseminate the latest research developments in their
projects
and meet representatives of other consortia.
Details about all the tracks are available at the conference web
site:

indication of
his/her supervisors' names)
- European Project Space (1-to-5 pages description of ongoing
projects)
We only accept original papers, not submitted for publication
elsewhere.
The papers must be formatted according to the LNCS proceedings
guidelines.
They must be submitted to the EasyChair site at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esocc2020 by selecting the
right
track.
All accepted papers of the main conference will be included in the
conference proceedings published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture
Notes in
Computer Science (LNCS) series (
http://www.springer.com/lncs)
There is a high possibility that the accepted papers of the other
tracks
and the satellite workshops will be published on CCIS series of
Springer
(final approval pending)
At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to register
and
present the work at the conference.
ESOCC 2020 also invites proposals for satellite workshops. More
