EFSOI 2010 - 4th IEEE Workshop on Enabling the Future Service-Oriented Internet: Towards Socially-Aware Networks (EFSOI 10)

4th IEEE Workshop on Enabling the Future Service-Oriented Internet: Towards Socially-Aware Networks (EFSOI 10)

to be held in conjunction with IEEE GLOBECOM 2010, Miami, FL, USA

December 6th, 2010

Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE Communication Society Technical Committee on Communications Systems Integration and Modelling and IBM

The purpose of the workshop is to continue to provide a forum for discussion and exchange of ideas concerning service-oriented networks and computing, an important emerging paradigm for future Internet design. Service- and application-oriented networks represent an area of convergence between communications and computing, based on modular, distributed and re-configurable capabilities, and blending network and service functions in a way that emphasizes end-user and business functionality.

The objective of the workshop is to address network-level as well as application and service-layer topics of analysis, design, monitoring and experimentation. The top-down interplay between services and networking creates unique modelling, design and implementation challenges. The goal of the workshop is to focus the community's efforts in building up this important area by discussing perspective issues and required breakthroughs in research and development.

The workshop format will be a combination of original papers, review/white papers, quick hot topic presentations, and a panel discussion with participants from industry, the NSF, and academia. This will allow workshop participants to obtain a global perspective of the scope of this area and of the technical challenges associated with it in a participative and interactive manner.

Prospective participants are invited to contribute to the following topics of the workshop:

? Architecture for future service-centric networks
? Scalability of future service-centric networks
? Modelling and simulation issues and methodologies
? Overlay, peer-to-peer and content delivery services
? Design for location and social awareness
? Design and implementations for ubiquitous services
? Reliability and availability of future service-oriented Internet
? Management of services and service-oriented networks
? Service selection, composition, and delivery platforms
? Management of event driven architectures
? Distributed complex event processing systems
? Mapping to business functions and Enterprise Service Buses
? Cognitive networks and services
? Application-aware routing and forwarding
? Optimization and cross-layer design of service-oriented systems
? Measurements and Quality-of-Experience monitoring
? Service-oriented network experimental trials, tools and test-beds
? Economics, pricing and charging of emerging services
? Distributed/market-based and game-based control of service-centric networks
? Analytic and simulation components of service-oriented networks and systems
? Workload characterization and distribution fitting
? Scheduling in multi-tiered environments
? Network architecture design for supporting large scale social applications and services
? Quality-of-service in large social networks
? Privacy issues in online social networks
? Internet measurement and analysis of social applications and services
? Challenges posed by the emergence of online social networking

Paper Submission

Original papers of total length of up to 5 double-column, IEEE conference-style pages should be submitted for the regular paper category, via EDAS. Also invited are abstracts of white papers and hot topic presentations, as well as proposed topics and participants for the panel discussion. Reviewed papers will be included in the conference proceedings in a separate workshop volume via IEEExplore. Selected papers may be invited for review in order to be included as in a special issue of the ACM Transactions on Modelling and Computer Simulation.
