CALL
FOR PAPERS
One of the emerging trends in the era of network centric computing is to deliver a wide range of IT functions as a service over the Internet. This model of services-oriented computing is an attractive option for enterprises to dynamically adapt their IT systems based on demand. To cater to this changing trend, enterprise applications are being transformed to use service-oriented architectures, emphasizing loose coupling and high reuse. There is a clear need for novel architectures and platforms that enable easy transformation of existing applications to host them on a Cloud. Further, the huge scale of Cloud Computing and the dynamics of service availability offer several research challenges in realizing Cloud platforms and developing Cloud applications.
The proposed workshop will provide a venue for academic and industry researchers to discuss issues and solution approaches for design of such futuristic large-scale applications and platforms that can host them. Of particular interest for this year will be novel service composition systems and platforms for hosting Cloud-Services.
Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research and/or practice on developing service oriented software systems.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to :
- Structure of service oriented systems
• Resource request protocols: advertising, brokering, negotiation, match-making
• Web services: composition, discovery, semantics, verification
• Programming frameworks
• Middleware and runtime systems
• Fault tolerance and reliability
- Qualitative aspects
• Metrics for measuring QOS, performance,
• Theoretical performance analyses: complexity, correctness, scalability, fault-tolerance
• Theoretical models and simulations
- Operational aspects
• Security and trust
• Usage and billing metrics
• Service level agreements
• Use of Semantics
- Practical implementations and applications
• Cloud platforms and frameworks
• SaaS and Mashup systems
• Novel Applications for Cloud Services
• Case studies of real world deployments
PAPER SUBMISSION
Authors
are invited to submit original unpublished work demonstrating innovation in the
topics of interest to the workshop. Routine applications using existing
software will not be entertained. A work in progress is also welcome. Submitted
papers should not have appeared in or be under consideration for another
workshop, conference, or a journal. Submissions will be reviewed for
their technical strength, correctness, originality, significance, quality of
presentation and relevance to the workshop.
Submitted manuscripts should be in PDF format and not exceed 10 pages, including references, figures and tables. The formatting
requirements are 11-point font size on 8.5 x11 inch single-spaced pages in
2-column format. The author can find some example templates and additional
writing guidelines at http://www.sigplan.org/authorInformation.htm
Authors should submit the manuscript in PDF format on the
submissions site using EasyChair Conference
Tool.
Proceedings including all accepted papers will be
distributed at the workshop.
