Categories : service-oriented computing   cloud computing   web services   service engineering   Call For Papers Call for Research/Industry Papers  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 fosters cross-community scientific excellence by gathering experts from various disciplines, such as business-process management, distributed systems, computer networks, wireless and mobile computing, cloud computing, cyber-physical systems, networking, scientific workflows, services science, data science, management science, and software engineering.  ICSOC provides a high-quality forum for presenting results and discussing ideas that further our knowledge and understanding of the various aspects (e.g. application and system aspects) related to Service Computing applied to new application areas and gain insights into a variety of computing, networked, and cyber-physical systems ranging from mobile devices and Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications to large-scale cloud computing systems and the smart grid.  ICSOC 2019 , the 17th event in this series, will take place in Toulouse, France from October 28 to October 31, 2019. Following on the ICSOC tradition, it will feature visionary keynote presentations, research and industry presentations, workshops, tool demonstrations, tutorials, and a Ph.D. track.  Topics of Interest  ICSOC 2019 seeks outstanding, original contributions, including 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 service-oriented computing. Specific topics of interest include but are not limited to:  Service Engineering  Legacy systems migration and modernization  Service design, specification, discovery, customization, composition, and deployment  Service change management  Service innovation  Theoretical foundations of Service Engineering  Run-time Service Operations and Management  Service execution middleware  Service monitoring and adaptive management  Quality of service  Workload compliance management  Service governance  Architectures for multi-host container deployments  Microservices deployment and management  Services and Data  Services for Big Data  Service for compute-intensive applications  Mining and analytics  Data-provisioning services  Services related linked open data  Automated Knowledge Graph creation  Services on the Cloud  Migration to virtual infrastructures  XaaS (everything as a service including IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS)  Service deployment and orchestration in the Cloud  Cloud service management  Cloud workflow management  Cloud brokers and coordination across multiple resource managers  Edge computing vs Cloud computing  Workload transformation  Services in the Internet of Things  Embedded and real-time services  RFID, sensor data, and services related to the Internet of Things  Services for IoT platforms and applications  Service oriented protocols for IoT applications  REST APIs and services for IoT platforms and applications  Services in Organizations, Business, and Society  Services science  Social networks and services  Cost and pricing of services  Service marketplaces and ecosystems  Service business models  Enterprise architecture and services  Service Chatbots  Services at the Edge  Cloud and fog computing  Analytics and knowledge generation services  Edge service orchestration  Lightweight service deployment and management  Services and edge gateway architectures  Quality of Service (QoS) in edge services  Security, privacy, and trust of edge services  Services for Softwarized Network Functions and Software Defined Networks  Service Network Function Management and Orchestration  Services for novel and emerging networking protocols  Named data networking  Network and transport mechanisms  Virtualized Network Functions and Services  Virtualized Service Function Chaining  Paper Submission  The conference solicits outstanding original research and practice papers on all aspects of service-oriented computing. Papers should clearly demonstrate the research or practical contribution, the relevance to the field, and the relationship to prior work. Submitted papers will be evaluated according to their rigor, significance, originality, technical quality, and exposition. All papers will be reviewed by at least three members of the Program Committee.  Papers should be formatted according to Springer’s LNCS Formatting Guidelines. Submissions must be in English and not exceed 15 pages including all references and figures. All papers must be submitted electronically in PDF to the Conference Submission System.  For each accepted paper, at least one author must attend the conference and present the paper. The deadline for identifying and registering this individual author will be at the time when the camera-ready version is submitted.  Best Paper Award  The Best Paper Award, sponsored by Springer, will be given to the paper that the Program Committee judges to be the best in quality, execution, and impact among all the accepted papers in the conference.
