The 4th International Conference of Service Oriented
Computing (ICSOC'06)
follows on the success of three previous editions in
Amsterdam (2005), New
York City (2004), and Trento (2003). Today ICSOC is
recognized as the main
conference for service oriented computing research and
covers the entire
spectrum from theoretical and foundational results to
empirical
evaluations as well as practical and industrial experiences.
ICSOC'06 seeks original papers in the field of service
oriented computing,
from theoretical and foundational results to empirical
evaluations as well
as practical and industrial experiences, with an emphasis on
contributions
to solve the many still open research problems that are of
significant
impact to the field of service oriented applications. Topics
include but
are not limited to the following:
* Business Service Modeling: Methods and tools for capturing
business
goals and requirements, Decomposition into business
services, Business
processes, Business policies, Modeling, analysis, and
simulation,
Specification of functional and non-functional quality
requirements;
* Service Assembly: Development and Discovery: Model-driven
development,
Service composition architectures, Service registries,
Service discovery
mechanisms, Semantic matching, Methods and tools for
service development,
Governance, Verification and validation, Deployment
strategies;
* Service Management: Instrumentation and service related
data aggregation,
end-to-end Measurement, Analysis, Modeling and Capacity
planning,
Definition of deployment topology, Infrastructure
configuration,
Problem determination for SOAs, ITIL processes, Change
management in
live systems.
* SOA Runtime: Service Bus for mediation, transformation and
routing,
Runtime registry, Integration of legacy applications,
Information
services for data access and data integration,
Scalability, Topology
and Optimization, Service oriented middleware,
Policy-based
configuration & Workload management
* Quality of Service: Reliable Service-Oriented Computing,
Security and
Privacy in Service-Oriented Computing, SLA and Policy
specification,
QoS Negotiation, Autonomic management of service levels,
Empirical
Studies and Benchmarking of QoS, Performance and
Dependability
prediction in SOA;
* Grid Services: Services and architecture for management of
infrastructural resources, Data and Compute intensive
applications,
Execution and resource allocation services for job
scheduling,
Protocols for coordination across multiple resource
managers,
Business value based allocation, Innovative Strategies for
Creation
and Management of Virtual Enterprises and Organizations,
Prototype
systems and Toolkits.
There will be two independent tracks for Research and
Industrial papers,
each managed by a different program committee and with a
different set of
evaluation criteria. The authors must clearly indicate the
track to which
the paper is being submitted.
* Research Papers: The conference is soliciting original
research papers
on all aspects of web services and service-oriented
computing. The
submissions should contain results which advance the state
of the art in
service-oriented systems, either through theoretical
analysis or
experimental analysis. They should clearly establish the
research
contribution, the relevance to service-oriented computing
and the relation
to prior research. Submitted papers will be judged
according to their
scientific merit and evaluated on significance,
originality, technical
quality, and presentation.
* Industrial and Application Papers: ICSOC'06 places a
strong emphasis on
its industrial program and encourages submissions covering
the application
of service-oriented computing in practice, including
papers describing
innovative service-based implementations, novel
applications of service
oriented technology, and major improvements to the
state-of-practice.
Actual case studies from practitioners emphasizing
applications, service
technology, system deployment, organizational
ramifications, or business
impact are especially welcomed. Industrial and application
papers should
give sufficient details on the application domain, on the
service oriented
techniques that have been used, on the issues surrounding
actual
implementations and applications, and on the lessons
learned in developing
service oriented applications. The papers submitted to
this track can
range from a few page extended abstract to a full paper.
The track will
also include a small number of invited visionary papers.
All papers should be submitted electronically in PDF and in
Springer/LNCS
format. Research and industrial papers are not to exceed 12
pages.
Abstracts for research and application papers - not
exceeding 200 words -
need to be submitted one week prior to the paper submission
deadline. All
submissions should include title, authors, full contact
information, and
references.
Submissions should indicate at least two main topics and the
scientific
area (or areas) that best fit the paper. For selected
papers, authors will
be given the opportunity to submit a one-page reply, within
one week, to
answer to the reviewers' concerns. This is done in the
effort to improve
the paper selection process and make sure that papers are
not rejected
based on some misunderstanding or erroneous interpretation
by the
reviewers that is easy to correct in preparing the final
version. All
accepted papers will appear in the ICSOC'06 archival
proceedings,
published by Springer.
