<br>
The 2015 IEEE International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications <br>
(SOCA 2015) provides an international forum for researchers from multiple disciplines to <br>
exchange and share their experiences, ideas, and latest research results on all aspects of <br>
service-oriented computing. <br>
SOCA 2015 invites proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the conference, <br>
related to the SOCA 2015 topics, and covering new emerging topics, in particular. Workshop <br>
proposals should be submitted via e-mail to the dedicated address <br>
<a href="mailto:soca15workshops@gmail.com">soca15workshops@gmail.com</a><br>
Prior contact with the workshop chairs (see the contacts below) is encouraged.<br>
The organizer(s) of approved workshops will be responsible for advertising their workshop, for <br>
the reviewing process for their workshop's papers, and to collect the camera-ready version of <br>
the accepted paper by July 15th (firm deadline!) <br>
***Organizers (including co-organizers) are expected to attend their entire workshop and to <br>
provide a summary of the event, for presentation to SOCA organisers***<br>
<br>
Workshops in SOCA have their papers in the same IEEE proceedings as the main conference. <br>

Detailed instructions for workshop proposers<br>
The proposal (length up to 1000 words) should cover the following points:<br>
1. Workshop title, length (half-a-day, 1 day). <br>
2. Preferred date between Oct 19th and 21st (it is only indicative as we do not ensure to <br>
schedule the workshop on this date). <br>
3. Organisers (PC chairs, other organisers who will be present at the workshop or are <br>
otherwise involved, including the person responsible for the web presence and <br>
communications). Please include names, addresses, affiliations, and indicate who is the <br>
main responsible person. The submission should include a one-paragraph biographical <br>
sketch for each organizer, describing relevant qualifications and experience.<br>
4. Purpose: How does the focus of the workshop differ from the main conference? What <br>
are the main goals? List the workshop topics.<br>
5. Organization of the workshop. Include any special requirement on infrastructure and <br>
room layout.<br>
6. List of PC members.<br>
7. An estimate of number of papers to be accepted, and number of attendees. If applicable, <br>
short information on previous editions of the workshop series (this should include <br>
attendance information). <br>
8. Short information on your plans for publicising your workshop and making it highly visible.<br>
9. History of your workshop. Has it already hosted in the SOCA conference? How many <br>
participants did you have on the average in the former editions?<br>
<br>
Services provided by SOCA<br>
1. Publication of IEEE proceedings, based on a pack of source files delivered by the PC <br>
chairs, including a preface, list of authors, and other documentation. <br>
2. Workshops will benefit from the local organizational infrastructure and receive <br>
administrative support (registration, badges, refreshments, hotel booking, room rental, <br>
beamers, screens, etc.).<br>
<br>
As workshop papers will be included in the Conference proceedings, they need to respect the <br>
IEEE two-columns format and they must not be longer than 5 pages (please indicate the IEEE <br>
Computer Society Press Proceedings Author Guidelines in you call for paper - <a href="http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting">http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting</a>).<br>
Finally, to better organize the final program, workshop chairs should be informed during the <br>
papers selection process. If necessary, the workshop may be cancelled if the number of <br>
submissions is low.<br>
