Technological Innovation for Cloud-based Engineering Systems
Call For Papers
The 6th Doctoral Conference on Computing, Electrical and Industrial Systems (DoCEIS’15) will reflect on the growing interests in research, development and application of Cloud-based Engineering Systems.
These systems leverage the emerging “network effect” and rely on the access to large pools of computational resources that are available in the “cloud” to overcome the limitations of environments with scarce processing and information storage capability.
Potential benefits can be found in all engineering fields and at all levels, e.g. supporting management and services provision in SMEs, facilitating high-level sensorial perception based on sensor networks with limited local intelligence, supporting monitoring and diagnosis of a machine with limited computer power, etc.
This approach can change the way engineering systems are designed while leading to exciting challenges for researchers and industrial practitioners.
Instead of trying to increase local computational resources at the level of each component / sub-system, which in some cases might be technically difficult, the efforts can be channeled to give connectivity / communication capabilities to such components, connecting them to “the cloud”.
As a result, not only elasticity and more robust security mechanisms may be acquired, but also wider access to larger pools of resources available on Internet, opening the opportunity for the development of higher value-added services.
However, it also requires systems engineers to pay attention to the underlying business models, security concerns, and user acceptability aspects. Therefore, prospective contributors to DoCEIS’15 are challenged to identify in which ways their research topics can benefit from, or contribute to cloud-based solutions.
DoCEIS’15 is aimed as international forum to provide a platform for the presentation of research results coming out of the PhD works, and a space for discussion of post-graduation studies, PhD thesis plans, and practical aspects of a PhD work. Among other activities, it includes:
* Presentation of research results by PhD students (co-authored by their supervisors).
* Tutorials by invited experts on scientific, methodological, or soft skills topics.
* Presentation and discussion of the base ideas of the thesis plans.
* Discussion of the scientific and technical challenges in the several Electrical and Computer Engineering specialization areas.
* Sharing of experiences among PhD students from different geographical regions.
* Forum on practical aspects (e.g. Publications, job markets, careers, etc.).
* Creation of collaboration (social) networks.
Prospective authors of research papers are invited to submit their manuscripts reporting original work, in any of the scientific areas of the conference. Papers describing advanced prototypes, systems, tools and techniques and general survey papers indicating future directions are also encouraged.
Following the successful previous editions, proceedings are expected to be published by Springer, IFIP AICT series (indexed in Web of Science, SCUPUS and DBLP). Best papers will be considered for possible inclusion in a special journal issue.
There will be also poster discussion sessions regarding thesis plans. These sessions are designed in order to provide early feedback to PhD candidates in the initial phase of their studies.
Topics
The scope of the conference will cover, but will not be limited to, the following topics:
* Computational and Perceptional Systems
* Energy
* Enterprise Collaborative Networks
* Electronics
* Signal Processing
* Informatics applied to electrical systems
* Industry Information System

Important Dates:
* Submission of abstract: 05 Oct 2014
* Submission of full paper: 31 Oct 2014
* Notification of authors: 30 Nov 2014
* Submission of camera ready: 18 Dec 2014
