ESOCC 2015 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fourth European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing 15-17 September 2015 Taormina (Messina), Italy http://esocc2015.unime.it supported by IFIP WG 2.14/6.12/8.10 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS The European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC) is the premier conference on the advances in the state of the art and practice of Service-Oriented Computing and Cloud Computing in Europe. ESOCC has evolved from the ECOWS (European Conference on Web Services) conference series, after the Steering Committee decided to renew and broaden its scope, and to start a new conference series on advanced topics of service-oriented and Cloud computing. The first edition of the new series, ESSOC 2012, was successfully held in Bertinoro, Italy, the second edition, ESOCC 2013, was held in Malaga, Spain, the third edition, ESOCC 2014 was held in Manchester, UK and will be continued by ESOCC 2015 in Taormina (Messina), Italy. The main objectives of this conference are to facilitate the exchange between researchers and practitioners in the areas of SOC and Cloud Computing and to foster future collaborations in Europe and beyond. ESOCC 2015 will include invited talks, presentations of selected research papers, industrial, business model (BM) and work in progress (WIP) tracks papers with the participation of top researchers from academia and industry. ESOCC 2015 will also include a PhD Symposium and a series of satellite workshops. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BACKGROUND The continued success of service-oriented distributed applications has shown that tightly coupled software systems may be useful for niche markets, whereas loosely coupled software systems have proven to be more flexible, adaptive and often more appropriate for practical applications. Loose coupling makes it easier for a given system to interact with other system components (including legacy systems) that have been developed independently somewhere in a heterogeneous universe of services. Thus, service-oriented applications can evolve more easily during their lifespan and adapt better to changing or even unpredictable environments. In such scenarios, cloud computing enables a new execution paradigm for distributed software applications where resources can be shared, optimally realized as well as utilized and exchanged between heterogeneous execution platforms and the cloud, so as to achieve fast response times and to ensure immersive and non-interrupted user experience. Services today are developed independently, deployed as well as freely composed, and they can be implemented in a variety of technologies a fact which is of particular importance from a business perspective. Similarly, cloud computing aims at enabling mobility as well as device, platform and/or service independence by offering centralized sharing of resources. It promotes interoperability, portability and security standards, and raises a completely new set of security issues. On the implementation side, essential agreement has been reached on integration technologies and consensus has emerged in today's middleware market. Customers use Web technologies extensively; however, service developers, providers, and integrators need to create methods, tools and techniques to support cost-effective and secure development and use of dependable devices, platforms, services and service-oriented applications in the Cloud. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOPICS OF INTEREST ESOCC 2015 seeks original, high quality papers related to all aspects of Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing. Topics of interest to the Research, Industry, BM, and WIP Tracks include, but are not limited, to: - Agile Computing - DevOps in the Cloud - Social and Crowd-based Cloud - Smart Cities Services and Applications - IoT Services and IoT Clouds - Mobile Clouds and Mobile Services - Business Process Management and Services - Cloud Services Management and Composition - Dynamic and Adaptive Services - Economic and Business Models for Services - Enterprise Architecture and Services - Emerging Trends of Service Composition and Mashups - Experience reports of novel applications of Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing in Health, Commerce, Finance, Telecom, Scientific Computing and other domains - Service Modeling, Analysis, and Design - Formal Methods for Services - Frameworks for Building Service Based Applications - Architectural Models for Cloud Computing - Identity and Access Management using Services - Model-Driven Service Engineering - Next Generation Services Middleware and Service Repositories - Service quality and service interface design guidelines - RESTful Clouds and Services - Self-Organizing Service Oriented and Cloud Architectures - Service-Oriented Business Collaboration - Service Governance - Service Marketplaces - Services Life-Cycles - Services Security and Privacy - Big Data Management - Crowdsourcing Business Services - Cloud Interoperability and Federation - Emerging Trends in Storage, Computation and Network Clouds - Cloud Computing Business Models - Service Science ESOCC 2015 solicits both new research papers (in the main track and BM), papers on early research initiatives in WIP, as well as reports on practical experiences from industry (industry track).

The aim of FISP-2015 is to provide a premier international platform for scholars, researchers, and practitioners in academia and industry to discuss the most recent challenges and developments in "Information Security, Privacy and Forensics for Complex systems" from the perspective of providing security awareness and its best practices for the real world. This workshop is open to submit novel and high quality research contributions in the field of information security and privacy. We anticipate that this workshop will open new entrance for further research and technology improvements in this important area. Paper Submission Deadline: January 16, 2015 (Fri), 11:59:59 PM (PST) Workshop website: http://www.icsrg.org/fisp-2015.html ### LP-EMS15 - Design of Low Power Embedded Multimedia Systems Digital Media Technologies (DMTs) constitute one of the widest and most important research areas in the ICT domain. Digital technologies allowed the design of complex systems for creation, fruition and sharing of audio/video/image contents pervading consumer electronics. A key challenge in this domain regards the possibility of implementing real-time high-performance multimedia systems minimizing, contemporarily, their power consumption. Complexity on algorithmic side and heterogeneity on processing platform side, are normally colliding system constraints. It is necessary to close the gap between efficient processing and optimal hardware support by adopting smart hardware-software co-design solutions and flexible design frameworks. In this perspective, dataflow-streaming based system models are naturally capable of capturing domain-specific knowledge into formal abstract system specifications capable of exposing the intrinsic potential parallelism of the algorithms. Such representations result very appropriate to model and explore the design space of DMTs applications. Paper Submission Deadline: Monday February 2, 2015, 11:59.59 PM (PST) Workshop website: https://sites.google.com/site/cf15lowpowersystems/ ### Analytics Platforms for the Cloud Cloud computing has become popular because of cost, agility, scale, and flexibility. At the same time, the use of flexible analytic platforms such as Hadoop, Spark, etc. have grown in popularity and are being used to drive the computational side of many types of workloads. Many are now starting to bring these two together to drive efficient deployment of analytic capabilities which can specifically leverage the flexibility and agility of Cloud delivery. The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners in analytics and cloud computing an end-to-end view on the challenges and opportunities of cloud-based analytics, and enable idea sharing. Paper Submission Deadline: February 8th, 2015 Workshop website: http://researcher.watson.ibm.com/researcher/view_group.php?id=5744 ### Making Sense of Sensed Data - Issues in Developing Heterogeneous Cognitive Systems A new frontier in computing is evolving around developing systems that 'sense' and respond to data in ways that represent or mimic human 'cognition'. These advancements represent the intersection of developments in processor hardware, software, and sensing devices. Examples include the implementation of low power architectures that mimic the type of synaptic information transmission that occur in animal brains (Neuromorphic systems), improvements in probability based software for big data analysis systems such as Natural Language Processing, the development of "deep learning systems" which have demonstrated systems that 'learn' representationsÂ of data, and the explosive growth of user based content in data systems such as cell phone video etc.. The evolution of these systems is leading to new possibilities for computing systems to interpret a vast amount of big data collected by sensors into a meaningful representations and to learn from that data or draw inferences from it. Paper Submission Deadline: Friday, Feb 13, 2015 Workshop website: http://computingfrontiers.org/2015/workshops/MSSD15/ SUBMISSION ========== Authors are invited to submit full papers or posters to the main conference. Full papers and poster abstracts must be submitted through the conference paper submission site. Full papers should not exceed eight double-column pages in standard ACM conference format.
