Call for Papers =============== Service-oriented computing (SOC) is considered today a key technology for the development of robust and high quality intelligent Internet-scale distributed and embedded applications. Extensive research and development in the past few years has pushed SOC technology into state-of-the-art applications in emerging areas such as Internet-of-Things (IoTs), Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs), as well as mobile and enterprise systems. However, many of the critical components on building reliable, robust, and user-centric, cloud-based service-oriented architecture applications and systems are still open for research. Hence, it is time to face new service-oriented architecture (SOA) research opportunities by addressing new research challenges on emerging applications domains like smart cities, smart logistics, smart factories and e-Health, to mention only a few.

Many of the service components are deployed on resource limited embedded systems and are performance sensitive; others are deployed on cloud servers providing highly parallel services and on edge servers in the middle of resource-limited systems and high-end servers. These components are part of complex applications and systems that span multiple execution environments. Their capabilities are increasingly being managed and (re)configured via emerging software-defined and elasticity mechanisms. In addition, they have to interact with humans in order to solve complex problems. Thus, on the one hand, SOC may provide effective solutions for managing the ever-increasing complexity while meeting the challenging requirements of services on largely distributed, heterogeneous and dynamic resource environments. On the other hand, the exploitation of emerging trends in such environments to build SOC applications and systems for large-scale service-based systems is an open research challenge.

The 2015 IEEE International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications (SOCA 2015) provides an international forum for researchers from multiple disciplines to exchange and share their experiences, ideas, and latest research results on all aspects of service-oriented computing. The conference includes three days of parallel tracks program, special-topic workshops, keynotes and tutorials, and panel discussion.Â

We invite submissions of high quality papers describing fully developed results or ongoing work on the following topics and related areas:

- Service-oriented architectures, engineering, and applications - Micro-services and reactive programming - Cloud-based systems - Cyber-physical systems - SOC-based things, processes and people integration - SOC-based business process and workflow management - Elasticity-aware service composition - Configurable, reconfigurable and software-defined service middleware - Streaming and real-time data analytics in SOC-based systems - Mobile service engineering and applications - Context-aware computing for SOC - Service ecosystems for large-scale SOC - SOCA development, deployment and testing tools for smart applications (cities, transportation systems, factories, homes and offices, etc.) - Security and privacy for intelligent service applications - End-to-end dependable and trustworthy services - Business services and service innovation in emerging environments - Big data services, including big data analytics applied to service computing and service-based computing for big data analytics - Green and energy-aware SOC, SOC applied to green and energy-aware applications and computing

Paper Submission ================ Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers in any of the areas listed in the Call for Papers. Manuscripts will be limited to 8 (IEEE style) pages. Please follow the IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings Author Guidelines to prepare your papers with 8.5'' x 11'', two-column format. Only papers in English will be accepted. Information about the IEEE format can be found at:

http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting

The title page must contain a short abstract and a classification of the covered topics (three to five keywords characterizing the paper should be indicated at the end of the abstract), preferably using the list of conference's topics. Papers should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair system using the following URL:Â

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=soca2015

Please upload a self-contained PDF file. Submissions not conforming to the IEEE format, longer than 8 pages, or being obviously out of the scope of the conference will be rejected without review. In order to submit your paper, you will first need to register into the system, if you are not registered already. You may submit an abstract first and upload the actual paper at a later time (this is in fact strongly recommended). Furthermore, you may revise your submission any number of times before the deadline. Please feel free to contact the organizers with any questions you may have.Â

All papers submitted to SOCA 2015 will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 reviewers. Papers that are selected for presentation at SOCA 2015 will appear in the Proceedings of SOCA 2015, will be included in IEEE Xplore and indexed by EI. Each paper accepted for SOCA 2015 requires at least one author to register at the full rate (IEEE member or non-IEEE member). At least one author is required to attend the conference and present the paper.

The best papers from the proceedings will be invited to submit an extended version for publication in the Springer Journal on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications (SOCA). Furthermore, a Best Paper Award will be presented to the best paper selected from the accepted full papers.

Workshops, Demos, Doctoral Consortium =====================================

Specific call for workshop proposals and subsequent workshop papers, demos, doctoral consortium papers will be issued in the next weeks. All papers in these categories will appear in the Proceedings of SOCA 2015 and be included in IEEE Xplore and indexed by EI. Papers accepted in these categories will have to be prepared in their final version by 15 July 2015 and will require at least one author to register at the full rate (IEEE member or non-IEEE member). At least one author is required to attend the conference and present the papers in these categories. Â
