SOAIC 2013 - The 9th Workshop on Service-Oriented Applications, Integration and Collaboration (SOAIC'13)

Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) has been widely adopted in business, education, government and industries. The service-oriented technologies continually evolve to support the demands for more flexibility and responsiveness under dynamic situations. Besides, there are urgent needs of service-oriented solutions which consolidate business process, domain knowledge and IT facilities in a coherent manner. How to fulfill divergent requests by leveraging well-defined services remains a great challenge nowadays.
The 2013 International Workshop on Service-Oriented Applications, Integration and Collaboration (SOAIC 2013) is an annual event since 2005. SOAIC has the mission to bridge the gap between business and information technology using service-oriented paradigms, technologies and approaches. It has established itself as a successful international forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas and experiences on service-oriented applications and technologies. The workshop seeks for paper submissions in a wide range of related topics including but not limited to the following:
Analysis and design methodology for Web Service and SOA
Cloud service architecture and applications
Context-aware service and location-based service
Semantic service discovery and mining
Service collaboration methodology
Service operation, testing and management
Service and application flow improvement for handheld computing
Services in Smart Planet
Trajectory mining and activity recognition for SOA-based applications
