-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] ICSOC 2023 - Announcement and Preliminary call-for-papers Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2023 18:03:53 +0100 From: Massimo Mecella mecella@diag.uniroma1.it To: aisworld@lists.aisnet.org

=========================================== ICSOC 2023 21st International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing Rome, 28 November - 1 December 2023 https://icsoc2023.diag.uniroma1.it ===========================================

ICSOC, the International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing, is the premier international forum for academics, industry researchers, developers, and practitioners to report and share groundbreaking work in service-oriented computing. ICSOC fosters cross-community scientific excellence by gathering experts from various disciplines, such as services science, data science, management science, business-process management, distributed systems, wireless and mobile computing, cloud and edge computing, cyber-physical systems, Internet-of-Things (IoT), scientific workflows, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and services and software engineering.

ICSOC 2023, the 21st event in this series, will take place in Rome, Italy from November 28 to December 1, 2023.

Anonymous submissions: ICSOC implements a double-blind reviewing process. Author names and affiliations should not appear in the paper. The authors should make a reasonable effort not to reveal their identities or institutional affiliations in the text, figures, photos, links, or other data that is contained in the paper. Authors’ prior work should be preferably referred to in the third person; if this is not feasible, the references should be blinded. Submissions that violate these requirements will be rejected without review. The list of authors cannot be changed after the acceptance decision is made unless approved by the Program Chairs.

Early submissions: Authors are invited to consider early submissions. In the early submission round, only papers submitted as full/regular papers will be considered, and they will go through a full peer-review process. An early submitted paper that is accepted will be included in the proceedings. An early submitted paper that is rejected can be still revised and submitted to the normal submission round by the given deadline. If the authors of an early submitted paper that is rejected decide to resubmit their paper to the normal submission round, they will have to include an appendix (maximum 2 pages) describing how they have addressed the comments received by the reviewers from the early submission.

Normal submissions: Authors are also welcome to submit papers to the normal submission round by the given deadline. After the normal submission deadline, the papers resubmitted from the early submission round and those submitted only to the normal submission round will undergo a traditional review process. The decisions made from this normal review procedure will be final and no resubmission will be permitted afterwards.

It should be noted that unformatted papers and papers beyond the page limit may not be reviewed.

Important dates ----------------

Areas of interest ICSOC is the premier international forum for presenting the most recent and significant research contributions in service-oriented computing. These include, but are not limited to:

Service design, specification, discovery, customization, composition, and deployment Service change management Theoretical foundations of Service Engineering Service monitoring and adaptive management Secure service lifecycle development Privacy management aspects for services Secure service lifecycle development Privacy management aspects for services Trust management for services Service mining and analytics Data-provisioning services Cloud service management Cloud and fog computing Edge service orchestration Lightweight service deployment and management Social networks and services Innovative service business models

In addition to the traditional topics, which include theoretical and empirical evaluations, as well as practical and industrial experiences, with emphasis on results that solve open research problems and have significant impact on the field of digital services and service-oriented computing, ICSOC welcome specific new 4 areas, which are presented below.

Focus Area 1: Artificial Intelligence for Services and as-a-Service Focus Area 2: Big Data Analytics for Services and as-a-Service Focus Area 3: Novel Service Frameworks for IoT-based and Smart Environments Focus Area 4: Emerging Technologies

We invite high-quality submissions of research papers describing original contributions that are unpublished and not under review elsewhere. Research in each area will be considered strictly in the context of service-oriented computing. No papers would be accepted unless they clearly illustrate the contribution to ICSOC areas of interest. It may even be desk-rejected.

Papers should be formatted according to Springer’s LNCS Formatting Guidelines. Submissions must be in English and must not exceed 15 pages. All papers must be submitted electronically to the Conference Submission System. Each paper must be submitted on or before the provided deadlines. Authors are kindly invited to respect the abstract submission deadline, set one week before the paper submission. The limit length of accepted papers should be 15 pages (including abstract, figures and references). The final submission should be formatted according to Springer’s LNCS Camera ready instructions.

For each accepted paper, at least one distinct author must register to the conference and physically present the paper. The deadline for identifying and registering this individual author will be at the time when the camera-ready version is submitted.

All accepted papers will be included in the Conference Proceedings published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.
