IEEE International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and
Applications (SOCA'09) December 14-15, 2009, Taipei, Taiwan

http://www.iis.sinica.edu.tw/soca09

PURPOSE AND SCOPE

With the ever-increasing complexity in today's computing systems and their complex
interactions with the physical environments, service-oriented computing (SOC) is
considered as a key technology to combat the complexity for developing robust and high
quality applications. The extensive research and development in the past few years have
pushed the SOC technology into business process, high performance computing, web-based
services, embedded systems, and many other important areas. With more and more services
moved into the "cloud" and ubiquitous end devices that interface with physical
environments becoming prevalent, it is time that we reexamine the directions of SOC
research and identify new research opportunities and challenges to advance the technology.
SOCA'09 provides an international forum for researchers from multiple disciplines to
exchange and share their experiences, new ideas, and latest research results on all
aspects of service-oriented computing. All accepted papers will appear in the Proceedings
of SOCA 2009 and be included in IEEE Xplore and indexed by EI. Best papers from the
proceedings will be selected for publication in the Springer Journal on Service-Oriented
Computing and Applications (SOCA) as well as special issues in international journals to
be announced.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Service-oriented architecture
Service-oriented software engineering
Service system technology
Service-oriented semantic computing
SOC for cyber-physical systems
Embedded and real-time services
Grid and cloud services
Service-oriented applications

IMPORTANT DATES

Paper submission: August 1, 2009
Author notification: September 15, 2009
