DISCO 2015 - 1st International Workshop on Dependability Issues in Services Computing (DISCO 2015)

The 1st International Workshop on Dependability Issues in Services Computing
(DISCO 2015)
Co-located with the 13th International Conference on Service Oriented Computing
(ICSOC 2015)
Goa, India
November 16-19, 2015

Service-oriented computing represents the natural evolution of distributed systems towards offering ubiquitous, large-scale computing services as a utility. Service-oriented computing paradigm encompasses such evolving technologies such as cloud computing, and emerging new paradigms including Internet of Things. The concomitant complexity of service oriented computing environments makes them prone to unexpected failures, either from operational environments or from uncontrollable force majeure. Mitigating the effects of failures, either through scheduled maintenance or reactive approaches has always been the practice du jour. Characterizing the effectiveness of such approaches comes under the purview of dependability, an umbrella concept that encompasses attributes such as reliability, availability, performability, survivability, safety, integrity, and maintainability. Security related concepts such as confidentiality, availability and integrity can also be brought under the dependability framework.
DISCO workshop co-located with ICSOC will offer an excellent venue to bring together researchers from both dependability and service-oriented computing communities.
Topics of interest to the workshop (but not limited to), include:
? Dependability issues in Cloud, mobile and networking services
? Dependability issues in telecommunications, healthcare, transportation, retail and financial services
? Architecture and design of services computing (e.g., Cloud) for dependability
? Faults, failure diagnosis, and recovery issues in services computing
? Dependability challenges and solutions for service users and service providers
? Dependability and security of platforms hosting private or public services
? Dependability metrics, analysis, and evaluation for large scale services
? Assured services, protocols and standards for services computing
? Dependability benchmarking and measurements in in services computing
? Security and privacy issues in services computing
? Sustainability issues and energy management in services computing
? Trust, policy management and regulatory compliance issues
