SOCNE 2015 - 9th International Workshop on Service-Oriented Cyber-Physical Systems in Converging Networked Environments

Smart and reliable service interoperability and composition across heterogeneous platforms and networking environments build the foundation for added-value services. Their key requirement is seamless, well-defined and potentially cross-sectorial interoperability among stakeholders on application-, service- and device level. Interoperability has become a competitive factor for many industrial branches such as automotive, aerospace, energy, healthcare or factory and building automation. At the same time it serves as an application enabler for cross-domain business as envisioned e.g. for electro mobility, smart grid or even cooperative engineering.
This workshop encourages communication and exchange of ideas between industrial and academic researchers and developers in the field of preferably embedded middleware, service-oriented architectures and heterogeneous networked environments. It follows the whole path from system engineering over system implementation to system testing and leverages the discussion about industrial practices and future trends.
From this perspective, the workshop is focused on (but not restricted to) the following subjects:
Architectures and Design Principals
Platforms, frameworks and tools support
Configuration & management
Creation, deployment, life cycle management
System security, validation and testing
Functional safety
Semantic web services & web services ontology
Real-time SOA
Verification and testing
