Liverpool, UK, 25-27 June, 2012
Supported by IEEE Computer Society
Scope:
As emerging technologies, Clouds and Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs) attract attention worldwide, ranging from casual Internet users to IT giants (e.g. Microsoft and Google). At the same time, the innovations of Clouds and SOAs also offer many interesting avenues of research for scientific communities. Recent advances in Cloud and SOAs, including computational power, storage, and networking, and infrastructure innovations, are providing exciting opportunities to make significant progress in understanding and solving complex real-world challenges. Such challenges typically require a system-level approach that models a complex system at different levels of abstraction, helps to develop sound architectures for addressing separate system requirements and concerns, and integrates diverse sources of knowledge on the system's components and their interactions.
There are strong needs for improving dependability of service-oriented computing to make service-oriented systems more reliable, secure and robust for service provision and delivery. Following the success of the prior workshops beginning in the 10th IEEE CIT, the Third International Workshop on Dependable Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing aims at collating efforts and achievements on the research of system of system engineering for dependable Clouds and SOAs. This workshop will provide a forum to discuss fundamental issues on research and development of clouds and service-oriented systems as well as new challenges in modelling and simulation of novel service-oriented architectures. The relevant topics include, but not limited to:
Cloud Computing
Service-Oriented Computing (SOC)
Internet-based Virtual Computing Environment (iVCE)
Grid Computing
Service-Oriented System Engineering (SoSE)
System Engineering for Cloud Computing
Web Services
Peer-to-Peer Computing (P2P)
Service Composition and Integration
Real-time systems
Dependable Cloud Systems
Sensor networks
