CFP IEEE SOCA 2017 - The 10th IEEE Int. Conf. on Service Oriented Computing and Applications
by Anna Kobusińska 03 Jul '17

03 Jul '17

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.) ------------------------ Important Dates ------------------------ Workshop/Special Session Proposal May 30, 2017 Workshop/Special Session Notification June 15, 2017 Paper Submission Deadline July 31, 2017 Acceptance Notification September 15, 2017 Camera-Ready Submission October 1, 2017 ---------------------------- Paper Format and Submission ---------------------------- We seek for both full and short papers.

CfP: IEEE eScience Environmental Computing Workshop (ECW) - extended deadline 14th July
by Matti Heikkurinen/LMU 29 Jun '17

29 Jun '17

Call for Papers: Environmental Computing Workshop (ECW)- deadline extended Organised in conjunction with eScience 2017 conference October 24 - 27 2017 Auckland, New Zealand http://www.envcomp.eu/eScience2017 This workshop will bring together practitioners, policymakers, and environmental modelling experts to present the latest developments in Environmental Computing. Submissions by groups and individuals working on related – or potentially related – fields are also encouraged in order to uncover new opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration. The topics of interest include: • Case studies in environmental computing related domains • Environmental modelling and optimisation techniques • Novel environmental computing applications • Multi-scale, multi-model and multi-physics systems • Civil protection and related engineering challenges • Scalability of environmental HPC and Big Data applications • Risk analysis, assessment, management, and mitigation • Interdisciplinary and stakeholder collaboration • Dynamic multi-directional model coupling approaches • Multifaceted data and metadata frameworks • Urgent computing and probabilistic models • Data visualisation and interactive analysis • Uncertainty quantification and visualisation BACKGROUND Already today, many domain- or problem-specific areas – such as meteorology or seismic analysis –use multi-model, multi-data, and multi-scale approaches to analyse and study environmental phenomena and their impact. However, a more generalised approach to producing actionable knowledge from different environmental data sources is needed to build more comprehensive multi-model systems that can more readily support various decision making processes. The topic is of acute interest due to environment-related societal challenges that require generalising, productising and maturing today’s environmental modelling solutions. Imminent application areas of environmental computing include managing disasters and disaster risks, supporting prompt political decision making, and many other similar domains. PAPER AND ABSTRACT SUBMISSION The contributions can be traditional papers (maximum 10 pages), experience papers (short papers or annotated slide sets of maximum 15 slides) or presentations abstracts. Contributions should be submitted at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecw2017 by June 30th. Please consult the conference call for papers page ( http://escience2017.org.nz/submissions/call-for-papers/) for information about templates and submission types. IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission: July 14, 2017 Notification of Acceptance: August 4, 2017 Camera-Ready: August 25, 2017 Conference: October 23 – 27, 2017 (Auckland, New Zealand) ORGANISATION AND CONTACT Dieter Kranzlmüller, LMU & LRZ Munich, Germany Sam Dean, NIWA, New Zealand Matti Heikkurinen, LMU Munich http://www.envcomp.eu/eScience2017 - info(a)envcomp.eu -- Matti Heikkurinen - LMU heikku(a)nm.ifi.lmu.de - +41 76 716 05 31

Winter Simulation Conference (WSC) 2017 - Call for Papers December 3-6, 2017 Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa www.wintersim.org Posters, Case Studies, PhD Colloquium, Vendor tracks WSC TURNS 50: SIMULATION EVERYWHERE! With 360 accepted papers, panels, special tracks, and an amazing venue, this 50th Anniversary Winter Simulation Conference promises to be a very exciting event. This is a reminder that there are other upcoming deadlines: . Poster Track http://meetings2.informs.org/wordpress/wsc2017/poster-sessions/ . PhD Colloquium http://meetings2.informs.org/wordpress/wsc2017/phd-colloquium/ . Case Studies http://meetings2.informs.org/wordpress/wsc2017/tracks/#caseStudies . Vendor Track http://meetings2.informs.org/wordpress/wsc2017/tracks/#vendor KEYNOTE & TITAN SPEAKERS 50th Anniversary Keynote - Barry L Nelson Northwestern University WSC 2067: What Are The Chances? At the November 1967 "Conference on the Applications of Simulation Using GPSS" it seems unlikely that anyone was wondering if the conference would still be occupying a big hotel in 2017. Conferences persist for many reasons, but a technical conference like WSC has to remain relevant to users, vendors, researchers and consumers (not just hotels) to survive. If our kind of simulation vanished, then so (eventually) would WSC. What is required for simulation to "remain relevant" for the next 50 years? Without fear of having to answer for my crimes in 2067, I boldly speculate on what SHOULD matter for the next 10-20 years, if not the next 50, with a focus on our strength: dealing with uncertainty. 50th Anniversary Titans Robert G.
