SOCNE 2009 - 4th International IEEE Workshop on Service Oriented Architectures in Converging Networked Environments SOCNE

4th International IEEE Workshop on
Service Oriented Architectures in Converging Networked Environments

SOCNE

in conjunction with

The IEEE 23rd International Conference on
Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA-09)
Bradford, UK, May 26-29, 2009

Motivation and Objectives

With the Internet Protocol (IP) that has grown to become a quasi de-facto standard for communication in various application domains, domains are converging and hence build the foundation for many new application scenarios. These applications are increasingly designed as and supported by modular and orchestrated services that are distributed across heterogemeous platforms and network environments. Besides an intelligent service creation environment and tool support that allow to dynamically compose new services on top of existing ones, the service orchestration requires smart and reliable service management and coordination that ensures that requirements imposed by the application or the customer are matched against quantitative system parameters. Quality of Service is an important challange for the service managment in order to to ensure a smart and reliable service access. Due to the growing complexity in these environments, the trend for self-configuration and self-management of these services is inevitable.

This IEEE workshop encourages communication and exchange of ideas between industrial and academic researchers and developers in the field of service-oriented architectures, their design and engineering process as well as their deployment in application prototypes. Important knowledge about future emerging directions for middleware, network infrastructures and self-organizing software/service architectures will be adressed.

Under this perspective, the main areas of interest for this special session are:

Topics

Track 1: Service Oriented Architectures

Service infrastructures for real-time embedded networked applications and systems
Web services and Middleware for embedded environments
Interoperability of heterogeneous systems
Semantic Web Services & Web Service Ontologies
Event-driven SOAs & Device-centric SOA

Track 2: Quality of Service

QoS for Middleware and Web Services
QoS for access networks
QoS Management
QoS Negotiation and Resource Allocation

Track 3: Service Platforms & Frameworks

Service creation, deployment, life cycle management
Tool support for service creation
Service validation and testing
Track 4: Autonomic Service Management

Service Support, Configuration & Management
Service Delivery & Service Level Management
Resource Capacity & Service Capacity Management

Track 5: Services, Applications & Prototypes

SOA deployment in commercial prototypes
SOA deployment for local mobile services
Enterprise application integration

Track 6: SoAs in E-health environments

SOA-based integration of IT systems in the healthcare enterprise
SOA deployment for cross-enterprise communication of health data
SOA techniques for personal health systems and AAL
