*===========================================

ICSOC 202321st International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing
Tunis, 3 - 6 December 2024
https://icsoc2024.redcad.tn
===========================================*
ICSOC, the International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing, is the
premier international forum for academics, industry researchers,
developers, and practitioners to report and share groundbreaking work in
service-oriented computing. ICSOC 2024, the 22st event in this series, will
take place in Tunis, Tunisia from 3 to  6 December 2024.

Submissions / Review Model
---------------------------------------
Early submissions: Authors are invited to consider early submissions
(deadline: May 9 May 2024). In the early submission round, only papers
submitted as full/regular papers will be considered, and they will go
through a full peer-review process. An early submitted paper that is
accepted will be included in the proceedings. An early submitted paper that
is rejected can be still revised and submitted to the normal submission
round by the given deadline. If the authors of an early submitted paper
that is rejected decide to resubmit their paper to the normal submission
round, they will have to include an appendix (maximum 2 pages) describing
how they have addressed the comments received by the reviewers from the
early submission.

Normal submissions: Authors are also welcome to submit papers to the normal
submission round by the given deadline. They need to submit an abstract by
10 July 2024. After the normal submission deadline, the papers resubmitted
from  the early submission round and those submitted only to the normal
submission round will undergo the same review process as other submissions.
The decisions made from this normal review procedure  will be final and no
resubmission will be permitted afterwards.


Anonymous submissions: ICSOC implements a double-blind reviewing process.
Author names and affiliations should not appear in the paper. The authors
should make a reasonable effort not to reveal their identities or
institutional affiliations in the text, figures, photos, links, or other
data that is contained in the paper. Authors’ prior work should be
preferably referred to in the third person; if this is not feasible, the
references should be blinded. Submissions that violate these requirements
will be rejected without review.
The list of authors cannot be changed after the acceptance decision is made
unless  approved by the Program Chairs.

It should be noted that unformatted papers and papers beyond the page limit
may not be reviewed.

ICSOC is the premier international forum for presenting the most recent and
significant research contributions in service-oriented computing. These
include, but are not limited to:

Service design, specification, discovery, customization, composition, and
deployment
Service change management
Theoretical foundations of Service Engineering
Service monitoring and adaptive management
Secure service lifecycle development
Privacy management aspects for services
Secure service lifecycle development
Privacy management aspects for services
Trust management for services
Service mining and analytics
Data-provisioning services
Cloud service management
Cloud and fog computing

In addition to the traditional topics, which include theoretical and
empirical evaluations, as well as practical and industrial experiences,
with emphasis on results that solve open research problems and have
significant impact on the field of digital services and service-oriented
computing, ICSOC welcome specific new 4 areas, which are presented below.

Focus Area 1: Service Oriented Technology Basics and Trends
Focus Area 2: AI for Services and as-a-Service
Focus Area 3: Novel Service Frameworks for Cloud Continuum and Smart
Environments
Focus Area 4: Emerging Technologies

We invite high-quality submissions of research papers describing original
contributions that are unpublished and not under review elsewhere. The
research papers will focus on traditional areas or in a specific focus area
mentioned above. Research in each area will be considered strictly in the
context of service-oriented computing. No papers would be accepted unless
they clearly illustrate the contribution to the ICSOC areas of interest. It
may even be desk-rejected.
