PCS 2011 - 5th International Workshop on Personalization in Cloud and Service Computing (PCS 2011)

The 5th International Workshop on Personalization in Cloud and Service Computing (PCS 2011)

October 13-14, 2011, Sydney, Australia

Workshop proceeding will be published in Springer LNCS series

We are pleased to invite you once again to participate in the premier annual event of The International Workshop on Personalization in Cloud and Service Computing.

Personalization and context-awareness researches in the area of service, grid and cloud computing are emerging as an important topic with the transformation of Internet and Web from traditional linking and sharing of computers and documents (i.e., "Web of Data") to current connecting of people and things (i.e., "Web of People", "Web of Things", and "Web of People and Thing"). Adopting Service-Oriented Computing as a basic paradigm, the Grid and Cloud Computing approach focuses on the virtualization and transparent provisioning of resources and software. Under such paradigm, information and service supply faces a number of new challenges. For example, how to smartly deal with large amounts of services based on users' personalized needs, how to handle personalized service composition in a dynamic environment, and how to customize business processes according to stakeholders' preferences. Personalization for processes and services in such a dynamic environment is one of the most exciting trends in Grid/Cloud Computing today that holds the potential to enrich user experiences and make our daily life more productive, convenient, and enjoyable.

The topics of this workshop focus on all the aspects around personalized processes, services and data in the Service/Grid/Cloud Computing field, ranging from its theoretical foundations, supporting infrastructures, engineering approaches, to its applications and case studies.

Following the success of previous PGSC workshops, PCS 2011 will continue to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange new ideas, developments, and experiences on the personalization issues of processes and services in the Service/Gird/Cloud Computing field.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

PCS 2011 welcomes papers that focus on novel solutions on the recent developments in the general areas of Web services/Service-Oriented Computing, Grid/Cloud Computing, Semantic Web, and Pervasive Computing. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to:

- Models and languages for formal specification of personalization
- Personalization in Grid/Cloud Computing and Pervasive Computing
- Service Personalization, Resource & Service Modeling, Service Matching
- Context & Situation-Aware Processes and Service Adaptation
- Personalization and Web services and Open Data technologies and standards
- Personalization Using Semantic Technologies
- Personalization in Emerging Environments, such as Smart Building and Smart City
- Requirement Engineering for Personalized and Evolvable Applications
- Personalized User Interfaces and Interaction Patterns
- Case Studies from Different Application Domains
