Call for Workshop Proposals
------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. During the 
past edition of ECOWS (European Conference on Web Services) conference, 
the Steering Committee decided to renew and broaden its scope, and 
to start a new conference series on the topics of service-oriented and 
cloud computing. The first edition of the new series, ESOCC 2012, will 
be held in Bertinoro from 19th to 21st of September, 2012. The main 
objectives of this conference are to facilitate the exchange between 
researchers and practitioners and to foster future collaborations in 
Europe and beyond. The ESOCC 2012 conference will include invited 
speakers, presentations of contributed research papers and an industrial 
track with the participation of top researchers from industry. 
ESOCC 2012 will also include a PhD symposium and satellite workshops. 

The ESOCC 2012 Organizing Committee is inviting submissions for workshop
proposals. The preference is for one-day workshops, but other schedules
(half-day, two days) will also be considered.

The purpose of the ESOCC workshops is to complement the main conference
with focused events in the field of Cloud Computing and Service-Oriented
Computing. We particularly encourage topic-focused workshops and workshops 
interested in collaboration between different stakeholders such us academia 
and industry. We also encourage submission of workshops centered on 
real-world experiences in Cloud technology application settings.
