About |
The aim of the 18th edition of the International Conference on Service Oriented Computing (ICSOC 2020) is to provide an International forum for researchers, professionals, and industrial practitioners to report and share groundbreaking work in the vibrant discipline of Service-Oriented Computing (SOC). ICSOC aims at fostering cross-community scientific excellence by gathering experts from various disciplines, such as business-process management, distributed systems, computer networks, wireless and mobile computing, cloud/edge/fog computing, cyber-physical systems, networking, scientific workflows, services science, data science, management science, software engineering, to mention just a few. This edition of ICSOC will promote the theme of Service Oriented Computing in the Era of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, two highly important areas for the world economy, in general, and the knowledge economy, in particular. The conference would be featuring research and industry presentations, a vision track, forward-looking keynote presentations, workshops, demonstrations, tutorials, special sessions, and a Ph.D. track. |

ICSOC, the International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing, is the premier international forum for academics, industry researchers, developers, and practitioners to report and share groundbreaking work in service-oriented computing. ICSOC fosters cross-community scientific excellence by gathering experts from various disciplines, such as business-process management, distributed systems, computer networks, wireless and mobile computing, cloud computing, cyber-physical systems, networking, scientific workflows, services science, data science, management science, and software engineering. ICSOC provides a high-quality forum for presenting results and discussing ideas that further our knowledge and understanding of the various aspects (e.g. application and system aspects) related to Service Computing applied to new application areas and gain insights into a variety of computing, networked, and cyber-physical systems ranging from mobile devices and Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications to large-scale cloud computing systems and the smart grid. ICSOC 2020, the 18th event in this series, will take place in Dubai, UAE from November 9 to November 12, 2020. Following on the ICSOC tradition, it will feature visionary keynote presentations, research and industry presentations, a vision track, workshops, tool demonstrations, tutorials, and a Ph.D. track. We invite interested researchers, students, practitioners, and professionals to submit their original contributions to the research and industry tracks of ICSOC 2020. Important dates
Areas of interest ICSOC 2020 will be divided into two main tracks, the research track and the visionary track. While the visionary track targets visionary papers with high potential that may bring some impact in the future for the community, the research track will focus on the following four main areas. Focus Area-1: Service Oriented Technology Trends This focus area targets outstanding, original contributions, including theoretical and empirical evaluations, as well as practical and industrial experiences, with emphasis on results that solve open research problems and have significant impact on the field of digital services and service-oriented computing. Topics that are part of this focus area may include but are not limited to:
Focus Area-2: Blockchain Technologies A blockchain is a decentralized distributed ledger that records and stores transactions among a number of interacting parties in a network. Each transaction must be validated via a consensus mechanism executed by the network participants before being permanently added as a new “block” at the end of the “chain.” Disruptive technologies such as blockchain, AI, services, and cloud enable companies and administrations to provide decentralized, trusted, transparent and user-centric digital services while enhancing user/consumer experience. These technologies have the ability to transform the way we use the internet and digital services globally. Topics that are part of this focus area may include but are not limited to:
Focus Area-3: Industry 4.0 Technologies Industry 4.0 (or smart manufacturing) sets the foundations for completely connected factories that are characterized by the digitization and interconnection of supply chains, production equipment and production lines, and the application of the latest advanced digital information technologies to manufacturing activities. The manufacturing paradigm championed by the Industry 4.0 brings together processes, software services and systems, machines, devices, IoT, sensors, valves, actuators, manufacturing systems, and connected digital factories. All these computer-driven systems create a virtual copy of the physical world and help make decentralized decisions with much higher degree of accuracy. Topics that are part of this focus area may include but are not limited to:
Focus Area-4: Smart services, Smart data and Smart applications Smart data systems and services support the processing and integration of data and services into a meaningful unified view to enable more effective decision making and problem solving. The decisive criterion here is not necessarily the amount of data or services available, but smart content techniques that promote not only the collection and accumulation of related data and services, but also its context, and understanding. This requires finding useful insights and discovering patterns and trends within the data and services to reveal a wider picture that is more relevant to the problem in hand and react to them. Smart applications are context aware, intelligent and autonomous industrial strength applications that incorporate data-driven, actionable contextual insights into the user experience to enable users to more efficiently complete a desired task usually taking the form of recommendations, estimates, and suggested next course of actions in context. Topics that are part of this focus area may include but are not limited to:
Paper Submission The conference solicits outstanding original research and practice papers on all aspects of service-oriented computing. Papers should clearly demonstrate the research or practical contribution, the relevance to the field, and the relationship to prior work. Submitted papers will be evaluated according to their rigor, significance, originality, technical quality, and exposition. All papers will be reviewed by at least three members of the Program Committee. Papers should be formatted according to Springer’s LNCS Formatting Guidelines. Submissions must be in English. The limit length of accepted papers should be 15 pages (including abstract, figures and references) with a maximum of 2 extra paid pages (90EUR per extra page). All papers must be submitted electronically to the Conference Submission System. The final submission should be formatted according to Springer’s LNCS Camera ready instructions. For each accepted paper, at least one author must attend the conference and present the paper. The deadline for identifying and registering this individual author will be at the time when the camera-ready version is submitted. Best Paper Award The Best Paper Award, sponsored by Springer, will be given to the paper that the Program Committee judges to be the best in quality, execution, and impact among all the accepted papers in the conference. Proceedings All accepted papers will be included in the Conference Proceedings published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. |
