Service oriented computing (SoC) is an emerging cross-disciplinary paradigm for distributed computing that is changing the way software applications are designed, architected, delivered and consumed. Services are autonomous, platform-independent computational elements that can be described, published, discovered, orchestrated and programmed using standard protocols to build networks of collaborating applications distributed within and across organizational boundaries. Web Services are the current (but not only) most promising technology based on the idea of service oriented computing. Web services provide the basis for the development and execution of business processes that are distributed over the network and available via standard interfaces and protocols.
Particular areas of interest include, but are not limited to: Quality of Service: Reliable Service-Oriented Computing, Security and Privacy in Service-Oriented Computing, SLA and Policy specification, QoS Negotiation, Autonomic Management of service levels, Empirical Studies and Benchmarking of QoS, Performance and Dependability prediction in SOA, Service Quality Attributes, Measurement and Metrics; SOA Runtime: Service Bus for mediation, transformation and routing, Runtime registry, Integration of legacy applications, Information services for data access and data integration, Scalability, Topology and Optimization, Service oriented middleware, Policy based configuration & Workload management Service Composition: Development and Discovery: Model-driven development, Service composition architectures, Service registries, Service discovery mechanisms, Semantic matching, Methods and tools for service development, Governance, Verification and validation, Deployment strategies, service components and component architecture; Service Specification and Modelling: Methods and tools for capturing business goals and requirements, Decomposition into business services, Business processes, Business policies, Modelling, analysis, and simulation, Specification and validation of functional and non-functional quality requirements; Service Management: Instrumentation and service related data aggregation, end-to-end Measurement, Analysis, Modelling and Capacity planning, Definition of deployment topology, Infrastructure configuration, Problem determination for SOAs, ITIL processes, Change management in live systems. Content and formatting guidelines as well as information on the ACM TWEB review process can be found online at http://www.acm.org/tweb/author.html Please submit your paper according to the directions on the ACM TWEB Web site. When submitting your paper, please mention that it is to be considered for the special issue on Service-oriented Computing.
