[ecoop-info] CALL FOR PAPERS: The First International Workshop on Real-Time Service-Oriented Architecture and Applications (RTSOAA-08)

[Jun-jang Jeng]

The First International Workshop on 

Real-Time Service-Oriented Architecture and Applications

(RTSOAA-08)

in conjunction with IEEE COMPSAC 2008

Turku, Finland, July 28-August 1, 2008

* * Theme of the Workshop * *

As the paradigm service-oriented computing gains more prominence in the 
development of systems and commercial applications, the capability of 
guaranteeing service timeliness is becoming a critical feature that 
elevates an enterprise to the higher ground. A real-time business can 
provide a better quality of service (comparing with its peers) by 
shortening the latencies of data, analysis, decision and execution. As 
such, real time service-oriented architecture and application (RTSOAA) 
evolve the traditional service-oriented computing approach to the next 
level of excellence.

RTSOAA presents a new set of emerging issues and challenges that are 
expected to be identified, resolved by the service-oriented computing 
community. These include (a) Scientific and engineering approaches to meet 
timing constraints and to select services and resources for optimizing the 
trade-offs between cost and efficiency.(b) Technical and managerial issues 
for RTSOAA: modeling, infrastructure composition, coordination, planning 
and scheduling, choreography, deployment, configuration, monitoring and 
control, and governance.

This workshop is intended to provide an effective forum for researchers 
and industry practitioners to exchange innovative ideas and 
state-of-the-art research, share experiences and lessons learned from 
academic research projects as well as real world projects, and discuss 
issues, challenges, needs, and solutions in Real-Time Service-Oriented 
Architecture and Applications.


* * Scope of the Workshop * *
RTSOAA signifies an interdisciplinary area that covers disciplines such as 
real-time systems, service-oriented architecture, software engineering, 
decision technology, database management and so on. RTSOAA-08 welcomes the 
submission of papers from researchers and practitioners in the subjects 
related, but not limited to:

1.Service Life Cycle Management
  - Real-Time Aware Service Composition
  - Dynamic Service Deployment and Configuration
  - Real-Time Planning and Scheduling
  - Service Instrumentation for Observability & Monitoring
  - Real-Time Control on Service Behavior
2.Enabling Technologies
  - Event driven architecture for RTSOAA
  - Database modeling & management for RTSOAA
  - Policy driven management for RTSOAA
  - Middleware & infrastructure for RTSOAA
  - Real-time mining, simulation & optimization
3.Methodologies
  - Modeling & architectural approaches for RTSOAA
  - Requirement engineering for RTSOAA
  - Testing approaches for RTSOAA
  - Quality of service support for RTSOAA
  - Measurement and analysis of RTSOAA
4. Applications
  - Case studies of major RTSOAA projects
  - Implementation of RTSOAA in real-world environment
  - Experience reports of impacts, challenges and lessons learned
  - Analysis of industry-specific trends and challenges
  - Benchmarking models geared for RTSOAA

* * Paper Submission Information * *
Papers must be submitted electronically via the RTSOAA-08 Submission Page 
(http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rtsoaa08). The format of 
submitted papers should follow the guidelines for the IEEE conference 
proceedings. All papers will be carefully reviewed by at least three 
reviewers. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings 
of the 32nd IEEE Computer Software and Applications Conference (COMPSAC 
2008) by the IEEE CS Press. At least one of the authors of each accepted 
paper must register as a full participant of the workshop to have the 
paper published in the proceedings.


* * Post Workshop Activities * *
The best papers from the proceedings will be invited to create extended 
version and submit to the Springer Journal on Service-Oriented Computing 
and Applications (SOCA). Furthermore, the papers with keen insights and 
good contributions to the domain of Real-Time Service-Oriented 
Architecture and Applications will be invited to be published as book 
chapters in a potential proposed book.


* * Important Dates * *
March 1, 2008: Workshop paper submission due.
April 7, 2008: Workshop paper notification (electronic).
April 30, 2008: All final manuscript and author pre-registration due.
