The modern computing edge has envisaged many technological advances which
have impacted the livelihood of human being to society at large. Cloud
Computing, Internet-of-Things (IoT) and Big Data Analytics are three major
innovative paradigms which have changed the way computing is transforming
the organizations. Most of the industry sectors are driven by information
technology (IT) and all these sectors whether it is government or
manufacturing enterprises, health-care or start-ups, each one of them are
finding and visualizing unprecedented opportunities and growth in systems
driven by these three technologies. At the level of implementation and
deployment, these technologies help in preparing a practical “Software
System” where the functional aspects are implemented in real software and
demonstrated practically. Often, these systems are applied in public
sectors such as utility, facility management, smart city projects including
transport, health care and power and water distributions. On the other
hand, numerous systems are also envisaged along the lines of social
networks driven systems, smart homes, smart buildings, smart vehicles,
smart industries where cyber physical systems are automated and managed on
the basis of these three important technologies.
We invite high quality papers either on the use of Cloud, IoT and Big Data
Analytics for solving real world or practical problems or the application
and assessment of Cloud, IoT and Big Data Analytics for solving well-known
societal problems and issues. We focus on submissions that stress software
practice studies, and submissions that share a variety of software system
development experiences in different domains.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Cloud and IoT Systems/platforms for Big Data and Data analytics such as
smart cities, e-commerce and cyber physical systems leading to real
innovation.
- Systems using Data Classification on IoT environments and mining for next
generation IoT networking
- Practical Software System study and evolution using Cloud Computing, IoT
and Big Data Analytics
- Software systems implemented for environmental and cyber physical systems
sensing and computing, health care, mobile and personalized data-centered
services, social networks analytics etc.

Special Issue Paper Submission
This special issue invites submissions that present novel and innovative
ideas. It also welcomes submissions of extended versions of the best
selected papers presented in the 4th IEEE/ACM International Conference on
Big Data Computing, Applications and Technologies (BDCAT 2017,
http://dsr.encs.vancouver.wsu.edu/BDCAT2017/). All submissions including
invited papers will undergothe regular peer review process.
We seek submission of papers that present new, original and innovative
ideas for the "first" time in SPE. Submission of "extended versions" of
already published works (conference papers) is not encouraged unless they
contain a significant number of "new and original" ideas/contributions
along with more than 50% brand "new" material. If you are submitting an
extended version of an already published conference paper, you must submit
a cover letter/document detailing (1) the "Summary of Differences" between
the SPE paper and the earlier paper, (2) a clear list of "new and original"
ideas/contributions in the SPE paper (identifying sections where they are
proposed/presented), (3) confirmation of the percentage of new material,
and (4) the original conference paper. Otherwise, the submission will be
"desk" rejected without being reviewed.
While submitting paper to this issue, please select “Special Issue – On
Integration of Cloud, IoT and Big Data Analytics” in the submission system.
Regular Issue Submission
If you have a paper on cloud computing or IoT which does not match the
requirements of the Special Issue, we encourage you to submit it as a
regular paper to Software: Practice and Experience. The journal has
expanded its coverage to specifically include cloud computing and IoT.

Call For Papers - IEEE SOCA 2017 in Kanazawa, Japan, November 22-25, 2017
The 10 th IEEE International Conference on Service Oriented Computing and Applications (SOCA 2017)
http://conferences.computer.org/soca
Kanazawa, Japan, November 22-25, 2017
---------------------------
CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------------------
Service-oriented computing (SOC) is considered today a key enabler for the development of robust and high-quality intelligent Internet-scale distributed applications. Extensive research and development in the past few years has pushed SOC technology into state-of-the-art applications in emerging areas such as Cloud computing, Internet-of-Things (IoT), Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs),
Mobile-Edge Computing, Social computing as well as mobile and enterprise systems. However, many of the critical components on building reliable, robust, and user-centric, cloud-based service-oriented architecture applications and systems are still open for research. Hence, it is time to face new service-oriented architecture
(SOA) research opportunities by addressing new research challenges on emerging applications domains like smart cities, smart logistics, smart factories and e-Health, just to mention 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. Edge servers and clouds are connected through various types of networks, including emerging network function virtualization services. 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 obtain useful human-sensing data and solve complex problems. Thus, on the one hand, SOC 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 SOC applications and systems for large-scale service-based systems is an open research challenge.
The 2017 IEEE International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications (SOCA 2017 http://conferences.computer.org/soca/) 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-track program, special-topic workshops, keynotes and tutorials, and panel discussion.
We invite submissions of high-quality papers describing fully developed results or ongoing work on the following topics and related areas:
-Service-oriented architectures, engineering, and applications
-Cloud-based service systems
-SOCA in IoT and Cyber-Physical Systems
-Service Models and Applications for Mobile-Edge Computing
-Service coordination techniques in IoT and cloud environments
-SOC-based smart process and workflow management
-Configurable, reconfigurable and software-defined service middleware
-Data analytics and data services in and for SOC-based systems
-IoT and data marketplaces
-Smart data and service contracts
-Cognitive computing techniques for SOCA
-Social computing for and atop SOCA
-SOCA development, deployment and testing tools and methodologies
-Security and privacy for SOCA
-Dependable and trustworthy SOCA
-SOCA for smart applications (cities, transportation systems, factories, homes and offices, etc.)
