Service-oriented computing is considered today a key technology for the
development of robust and high quality intelligent Internet-scale
distributed and embedded applications. Extensive research and development
in the past few years has pushed SOA technology into state-of-the-art
applications in emerging areas such as Internet-of-Things (IoTs),
Machine-to-Machine (M2M), cyber-physical systems (CPS), as well as mobile
and enterprise systems. However, many of the critical components on
building reliable, robust, and user-centric cloud-based SOA applications
and systems are still open for research. Hence, it is timely to face new
SOA research opportunities by addressing new research challenges on
emerging applications domains like smart cities, smart logistics, and
e-Health to mention only a few.

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 and on edge servers in the middle of
resource-limited systems and high-end servers. These components are part of
complex applications and systems that span multiple execution environments.
Their capabilities are increasingly being managed and (re)configured via
emerging software-defined and elasticity mechanisms. In addition, they have
to interact with humans in order to solve complex problems. Thus, on the
one hand, SOA may provide effective solutions for managing the
ever-increasing complexity while meeting the challenging requirements of
services on largely distributed, heterogeneous and dynamic resource
environments. On the other hand, the exploitation of emerging trends in
such environments to build SOA applications and systems for large-scale
service-based systems is an open research challenge.

The 2014 IEEE International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and
Applications (SOCA 2014) provides an international forum for researchers
from multiple disciplines to exchange and share their experiences, ideas,
and latest research results on all aspects of service-oriented computing.
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
- Cloud-based  cyber-physical systems
- SOA-based Things, Processes and People Integration
- Elasticity-aware Service composition
- Configurable, reconfigurable and software-defined service middleware
- Streaming and real-time data analytics in SOA-based systems
- Mobile service engineering and applications
- Context-aware computing for SOA
- Service ecosystems for large-scale SOA
- SOA development, deployment and testing tools for smart cities, smart
transportation, and smart infrastructures
- Security and privacy for intelligent service applications
- End-to-end dependable and trustworthy services
- Application in emerging environments, like smart cities, smart logistics,
e-Health, etc.
- Business services and service innovation in emerging environments

Paper Submission
===============
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 EasyChair :
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=soca2014

All papers submitted to SOCA 2014 will be peer-reviewed by at least 3
reviewers. Papers that are selected for presentation at SOCA 2014 will
appear in the Proceedings of SOCA 2014 and be included in IEEE Xplore and
indexed by EI. Each paper accepted for SOCA 2014 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.
