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.)

Model development for the simulation of the evolution of artificial
and natural systems is essential for the advancement of Science.
Recently, the increasing power of computers has allowed to
considerably extend the application of parallel computing
methodologies in research and industry, but also to the quantitative
study of complex phenomena. This has permitted a broad application of
numerical methods for differential equation systems (e.g., FEM, FDM,
etc.) on one hand, and the application of alternative computational
paradigms, such as Cellular Automata, Genetic Algorithms, Neural
networks, Swarm Intelligence, etc., on the other. These latter have
demonstrated their effectiveness for modelling purposes when
traditional simulation methodologies have proven to be impracticable.
This Special issue aims to provide a platform for a multidisciplinary
community composed of scholars, researchers, developers, educators,
practitioners and experts from world leading Universities,
Institutions, Agencies and Companies in Computational Science, and
thus in the Parallel Computing for Modelling and Simulation field. The
intent is to offer an opportunity to express and confront views on
trends, challenges, and state-of-the art in diverse application
fields, such as engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, geology,
medicine, ecology, sociology, traffic control, economy, etc.
TOPICS of INTEREST
Tentative authors are invited to submit original unpublished works on
topics from a wide range of parallel computing methods, including but
not limited to the following:
* Parallel algorithms for modelling and simulation
* High-performance computing in computational science:
intra-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary research applications

WORKING FORMAL METHODS SYMPOSIUM
5 - 8 July 2017 Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science
University of Bucharest
Deadline for abstract submissions: 21 May 2017
Aims and Scope
Formal methods use mathematical techniques and rigour for developing
software and hardware. The formal methods can be used to specify,
verify, and analyse in any part of the system life cycle: requirements
engineering, modeling, design, architecture, implementation, testing,
maintenance and evolution. This assumes on the one hand the
development of adequate mathematical methods and frameworks and on the
other hand the development of tools that help the user to effectively
apply these methods/frameworks in the life cycle of the system.
ICUB (The Research Institute of the University of Bucharest), the
Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science of the University of
Bucharest, and the Faculty of Computer Science of the Alexandru Ioan
Cuza University of Iasi organize FROM 2017, the first one from a
yearly workshop series, meant to bring together Romanian researchers
in formal methods and to foster international collaborations.
Working Formal Methods Symposium (FROM) aims to bring together
researchers and practitioners who work for formal methods by
contributing with new theoretical results, methods, techniques, and
frameworks, and/or make the formal methods to work by creating or

First Annual Workshop on Programming Model Alternatives to Message Passing (PMAMP)-2017
September 25, 2017, Chicago, IL in collaboration with EuroMPI/USA 2017
https://memani1.github.io/pmamp17/
Overview:
Message-passing programming models have dominated high-performance computing (HPC) for the past quarter century. With the continued breakdown of the (uniform) communicating sequential processors abstract machine model, many researchers have questioned the continued viability of message passing as a model for direct, application-level interaction. Recent years have seen an explosion of new paradigms in programming models for distributed-memory computing. The move to the next generation of HPC platforms presents a wider variety of challenges than ever before, that include the increased need for asynchrony, increased heterogeneity and performance non-uniformity, decreased hardware reliability and increased failure rates, increased hardware diversity, and the maintainability of increasingly complex scientific code bases.
This workshop proposes to promote a dialogue between researchers who work on extensions or augmentations to message-passing models (the “evolutionary” crowd) to alternative programming models and to expose those who develop fundamentally different programming models (the “revolutionary” crowd) to the recent advances in message-passing programming models. It aims to help understand the relative importance of the concerns these new approaches address. The workshop seeks to garner a better understanding of key motivations for alternative programming models, key insights from advances in message passing (and how they can be applied to alternative models), and key opportunities for collaboration between researchers on both sides.
Topics:
We solicit preliminary work on programming models that offer extensions or alternatives to message passing, with emphasis on addressing emerging concerns in high performance computing (HPC), including topics relating to (but are not restricted to) the following:
* Asynchrony
* Heterogeneity
* Performance non-uniformity
* Fault-tolerance and resilience
* Performance portability: a posteriori adaptability (“one code for many machines”) in situ adaptability (reactive and dynamic runtime system solutions)
* Maintainability (particularly in the presence of these other challenges)
* Testability and debuggability (particularly in the presence of these other challenges)
* Experimental comparative results (particularly with emphasis on overall time-to-solution)
* Relevance of alternate programming models to particular scientific kernels
Also, we solicit position papers on analyzing the importance (or lack thereof) of the above topics for the future of HPC, again with emphasis on the need (or lack thereof) to address these concerns at the programming model level (thus, for instance, arguments for why the challenges can be addressed at other levels of the software stack without programming model intervention will also be considered).
Important Dates:
* Paper submission: June 15, 2017
* Author Notification: July 10, 2017
* Camera-ready papers due: July 30, 2017
* Workshop Date: September 25, 2017
