6th IEEE International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and
Applications
December 16-18, 2013
Kauai, Hawaii, USA

== NEW ===========================
 - Abstract Submission Due: August 5, 2013
 - Paper Submission Due: August 10, 2013
==================================

Service-oriented computing is considered today a key technology for the
development of robust and high quality intelligent distributed and embedded
applications. Extensive research and development in the past few years has
pushed SOA technology into state-of-the-art application areas such as
context-aware, cloud-connected, mobile enterprise systems. However, many of
the critical components on building reliable, robust, and user-centric
sensor-based SOA systems are still open for research. Hence, it is timely
to reexamine SOA research opportunities and identify new research
challenges for next generation SOA.
One of the future SOA applications is large-scale cyber-physical systems
(CPSs) that include deep interactions between cyber-sides and
physical-sides through massive sensors, actuators, mobile devices, and
computing servers connected by heterogeneous networks. The  services of
large-scale CPSs have challenging requirements such as accurate timeliness,
high reliability, and dynamic adaptability. Many of the service components
are deployed on resource limited embedded systems and are performance
sensitive; others are deployed on cloud servers providing highly parallel
services. Thus, SOA may provide effective solutions for managing the
ever-increasing complexity while meeting the challenging requirements of
CPS services on largely distributed, heterogeneous and dynamic resource
environments.
The 2013 IEEE International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and
Applications (SOCA 2013) will be held in Kauai, Hawaii, with topics of
general service oriented computing and also of the focused area of SOA for
large-scale CPSs. The conference includes three days of parallel tracks
program, special-topic workshops, tutorials, and panel discussion.
We invite submissions of high quality papers describing fully developed
results or ongoing work on the topics (partial list) such as:
 - Service-oriented architecture, engineering, and applications
 - Large-scale cyber-physical systems
 - Intelligent service composition, management and maintenance
 - Configurable and reconfigurable service middleware
 - Dependable and trustworthy services
 - Streaming and real-time data analytics
 - Mobile service engineering and applications
 - Security and privacy for intelligent service applications
 - Context-aware connected embedded computing
 - Service composition with multi-dimensional QoS
 - Service networks for smart homes/buildings, smart transportation, and
smart infrastructures
 - Sustainability issues on large-scale CPS applications

 - Conference and Workshop Program: December 16-18, 2013

Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that
are not being considered in another forum. Manuscripts will be limited to 8
(IEEE style) pages. Please follow the IEEE Computer Society Press
Proceedings Author Guidelines to prepare your papers with 8.5'' x 11'',
two-column format. The paper formatting instructions are available athttp://
www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting.
Electronic submission of manuscripts (in PDF) is required through the paper
submission system in the SOCA 2013 homepage
http://conferences.computer.org/soca.
All papers submitted to SOCA 2013 will be peer-reviewed by at least 3
reviewers. Papers that are selected for presentation at SOCA 2013 will
appear in the Proceedings of SOCA 2013 and be included in IEEE Xplore and
indexed by EI. Each paper accepted for SOCA 2013 requires at least one
author to register at the full rate (IEEE member or non-IEEE member). At
least one author is required to attend the conference and present the paper.
The best papers from the proceedings will be selected for publication in
the Springer Journal on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications (SOCA).
Furthermore, a Best Paper Award will be presented to the best paper
selected from the accepted full papers.

Workshops
=========

In addition to the main conference, specific workshops are organized:

KIBP - Knowledge-intensive Business Processes -
http://www.dis.uniroma1.it/~kibp/2013/index.html

KASTLES - Knowledge and Service Technology for Life, Environment, and
Sustainability - http://www.itolab.nitech.ac.jp/KASTLES2013/index.php

WESA - Energy-smart Services and Applications -
http://link.eecs.uci.edu/conferences/wesa2013/WESA_2013.htm

Workshop papers are limited to 5 (IEEE style) pages. The papers in the
workshops will be published in the SOCA proceedings that will be included
in the IEEE Digital Library.
Each workshop will manage its own WWW site, submission system, reviewing
process, call-for-papers, etc.

*La seconda rivoluzione industriale non si presenta come la prima
con immagini schiaccianti quali presse di laminatoi o colate d'acciaio,
ma come i bits di un flusso di informazione che corre sui circuiti
sotto forma d'impulsi elettronici.
Le macchine di ferro ci sono sempre,*
*ma obbediscono ai bits senza peso*

*The second industrial revolution is not presented, as the first one,
with such crushing images as rolling mills and molten steel,*
*but as a stream
of bits of information traveling along circuits
in the form of electronic impulses.
The iron machines still exist, *
*but they obey the orders of weightless bits*
