IE4SOC - Call for Industrial Position Papers

CALL FOR INDUSTRIAL POSITION PAPERS IE4SOC (Industrial Experience for Service Oriented Computing) Workshop Joint ICSOC-ServiceWave 2009 Conference on Service Oriented Computing 23-27 November 2009 Stockholm, Sweden http://www.s-cube-network.eu/ie4soc IMPORTANT DATES - Abstract Submission Deadline: November 5, 2009 - IE4SOC 2009 Workshop: November 23, 2009 (morning) Service-oriented applications are being developed in a variety of application domains. While research focuses on theoretical aspects in themes such as Service Engineering, Service Compositions, Service Management, SOA at runtime, Quality of Service, and Grid Services, solid experiences about the utility of the proposed approaches in industry are still missing. The aim of this workshop is, therefore, to identify the most promising research directions that can have an impact on the service industry for the purpose of aligning academic and industrial research agendas. The evaluation of different proposed approaches and benchmarks and complete case studies is needed to be able to assess which are the most promising research directions that can have an impact on the industrial development of this field. GOALS Starting from the research work of the EU Network of Excellence S-Cube on analyzing case studies and the gaps in current solutions of current research towards the establishment of adaptive and flexible service- based applications, and with the goal of involving industries in the discussion of experiences in using services in real cases, the workshop has the aim of collecting case studies and perceived gaps in current platforms from industries and from currently running industrial and research projects. The aim of this workshop is to broaden the scope of this gap analysis by collecting industrial scenarios and case studies and by analysing the industrial needs for research in the next 5-10 years. A systematic basis for analyzing the available material can be set and a contribution can be made towards establishing benchmarks for assessing technologies and new research approaches The industries will be involved with the presentation of their experiences and of their gap analysis with respect to platforms and solutions being adopted and developed. The goal of the workshop is to establish a discussion forum to analyze and compare the characteristics of presented case studies and solutions. SUBMISSIONS Big industrial players and SMEs are encouraged to submit a 1000-word position paper to pernici@elet.polimi.it by November 5th 2009 describing relevant case studies and scenarios in the following open list of application domains: - pervasive systems - automotive systems - product design and distribution - e-health - e-government - telecommunication - ... other related application domains We anticipate that submitters will be given about 15-20 minutes to present their work to the assembled group, followed by 5-10 minutes for questions from the audience. The exact timing and review process will depend on the number of abstracts received. All the position papers will be published in the workshop proceedings that will be made available during the event.
