IEEE International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications (SOCA 2007)

June 19-20, 2007, Newport Beach, California

Aims and scope

Service-oriented computing has emerged as a major software architecture in the past few years. SOC using Web services is based on the open Internet standard protocols and is easier for enterprises to support. The success of service-oriented systems also relies on the wide adoption of the core technologies from all interconnected business partners and computing environments. Many researchers therefore are developing new models, technologies, and platforms for SOC. They also build flexible and adaptive infrastructures for services developments and management in order to facilitate the dynamic integration and composition of services across different platforms and organizations.

While computer and engineering sciences have laid the foundation for service-oriented computing, the study produces more then just the tools to automate transactions and/or system integration. Indeed, by employing appropriate information and knowledge, service-oriented computing promises an unprecedented opportunity to rethink fundamental assumptions about markets and economic efficacy through electronic markets and virtual organizations, and open a whole range of new research questions.

This conference provides a forum for researchers who are interested in the issues and practices related to the development of service-oriented computing, design and technology, including theoretical foundations, service infrastructures, and their applications and experiences. We welcome innovative service research from both academic and industry communities.

The proceedings of SOCA conference 2007 will be published by IEEE. The best papers from the proceedings will be selected for publication in the new Springer Journal on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications (SOCA), to be inaugurated in March 2007, as well as special issues in many other journals.

Topics covered by the conference include, but are not limited to, the following topics:

* Service-Oriented Architecture o services analysis, design, development, and test o service orchestration and composition o business process integration and management o quality and reliability of web services * Service-Oriented Software Engineering o formal methods for services analysis, design, development, and test o SOA solution patterns o services matching and policy o verification and validation of SOA systems * Service System Technology o Service brokering and service integration o platform support for web services o QoS and end-to-end performance o Security, trust and privacy * Service-Oriented Semantic Computing o service representation and knowledge o software agent and service discovery o semantic web and ontological engineering o service evolutionary approaches * Service-Oriented Applications o e-business e-commerce and m-commerce o e-entertainment o e-government o e-health
