The First International Workshop on Real-Time Service-Oriented Architecture and Applications (RTSOAA’08)

in conjunction with IEEE COMPSAC 2008, Turku, July 28-August 1, 2008

* * Theme of the Workshop * * As the paradigm service-oriented computing gains more prominence in the development of systems and commercial applications, the capability of guaranteeing service timeliness is becoming a critical feature that elevates an enterprise to the next level. A real-time business can provide a better quality of service (comparing with its peers) by shortening the latencies of data, analysis, decision and execution. As such, real time service-oriented architecture and application (RTSOAA) evolve the traditional service-oriented computing approach to the next level of excellence.

RTSOAA presents a new set of emerging issues and challenges that are expected to be identified, resolved by the service-oriented computing community. These include, (1) Approaches to meet timing constraints and to select services and resources for optimizing the trade-offs between cost and efficiency. (2) Issues for RTSOAA: modeling, infrastructure composition, coordination, planning and scheduling, choreography, deployment, configuration, monitoring and control, and governance.

This workshop is intended to provide an effective forum for researchers and industry practitioners to exchange innovative ideas and state-of-the-art research, share experiences and lessons learned from academic research projects as well as real world projects, and discuss issues, challenges, needs, and solutions in Real-Time Service-Oriented Architecture and Applications.

* * Scope of the Workshop * * RTSOAA signifies an interdisciplinary area that covers disciplines such as real-time systems, service-oriented architecture, software engineering, decision technology, database management and so on. RTSOAA’08 welcomes the submission of papers from researchers and practitioners in the subjects related, but not limited to:

1.Service Life Cycle Management - Real-Time Aware Service Composition - Dynamic Service Deployment and Configuration - Real-Time Planning and Scheduling - Service Instrumentation for Observability & Monitoring - Real-Time Control on Service Behavior 2.Enabling Technologies - Event driven architecture for RTSOAA - Database modeling & management for RTSOAA - Policy driven management for RTSOAA - Middleware & infrastructure for RTSOAA - Real-time mining, simulation & optimization 3.Methodologies - Modeling & architectural approaches for RTSOAA - Requirement engineering for RTSOAA - Testing approaches for RTSOAA - Quality of service support for RTSOAA - Measurement and analysis of RTSOAA 4. Applications - Case studies of major RTSOAA projects - Implementation of RTSOAA in real-world environment - Experience reports of impacts, challenges and lessons learned - Analysis of industry-specific trends and challenges - Benchmarking models geared for RTSOAA

* * Paper Submission Information * * Papers must be submitted electronically via the RT-SOAA 2008 Submission Page (will be available later). The format of submitted papers should follow the guidelines for the IEEE conference proceedings. All papers will be carefully reviewed by at least three reviewers. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings of the 32nd IEEE Computer Software and Applications Conference (COMPSAC 2008) by the IEEE CS Press. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must register as a full participant of the workshop to have the paper published in the proceedings.

The best papers from the proceedings will be invited to create extended version and submit to the Springer Journal on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications (SOCA). Furthermore, the papers with keen insights and good contributions to the domain of Real-Time Service-Oriented Architecture and Applications will be invited to be published as book chapters in a potential proposed book.

* * Important Dates * * • March 1, 2008: Workshop paper submission due. • April 7, 2008: Workshop paper notification (electronic). • April 30, 2008: All final manuscript and author pre-registration due.
