DSOC 2011 - The 2nd International Workshop on Dependable Service-Oriented and Cloud computing (DSOC 2011)

The 2nd International Workshop on Dependable Service-Oriented and
Cloud computing (DSOC 2011)

http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/distsys/workshop_dsoc_...
In conjunction with 11th IEEE International Conference on Computer and
Information Technology (CIT 2011)
www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/CIT2011
Paphos, Cyprus, Aug 31, 2011 - Sep 2, 2011
Supported by IEEE Computer Society

Scope:

As emerging technologies, Clouds and Service-Oriented Architectures
(SOAs) attract attention worldwide, ranging from casual Internet users
to IT giants (e.g. Microsoft and Google). At the same time, the
innovations of Clouds and SOAs also offer many interesting avenues of
research for scientific communities. Recent advances in Cloud and
SOAs, including computational power, storage, and networking, and
infrastructure innovations, are providing exciting opportunities to
make significant progress in understanding and solving complex
real-world challenges. Such challenges typically require a
system-level approach that models a complex system at different levels
of abstraction, helps to develop sound architectures for addressing
separate system requirements and concerns, and integrates diverse
sources of knowledge on the system's components and their
interactions.

There are strong needs for improving dependability of service-oriented
computing to make service-oriented systems more reliable, secure and
robust for service provision and delivery. Following the success of
the first workshop held in 10th IEEE CIT last year, the Second
International Workshop on Dependable Service-Oriented and Cloud
Computing aims at collating efforts and achievements on the research
of system of system engineering for dependable Clouds and SOAs. This
workshop will provide a forum to discuss fundamental issues on
research and development of clouds and service-oriented systems as
well as new challenges in modelling and simulation of novel
service-oriented architectures. The relevant topics include, but not
limited to:

* Cloud Computing

* Service-Oriented Computing (SOC)

* Internet-based Virtual Computing Environment (iVCE)

* Grid Computing

* Service-Oriented System Engineering (SoSE)

* System Engineering for Cloud Computing

* Web Services

* Peer-to-Peer Computing (P2P)

* Service Composition and Integration

* Real-time systems

* Dependable Cloud Systems

* Sensor networks

* Industrial Case Study

Paper Submission:

Authors are encouraged to submit high-quality, original work that has
neither appeared in, nor is under consideration by, other conferences
and journals.

The length of the papers should not exceed 6 pages + 2 pages for
overlength charges (IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts
style: two columns, single-spaced), including figures and references,
using 10 fonts, and number each page. All papers will be peer reviewed
and the comments will be provided to the authors. The accepted papers
will be published together with those of other workshops by the IEEE
Computer Society Press.
