CALL FOR PAPERS

The Third IEEE International Workshop on Real-Time Service-Oriented Architecture and Applications
(RTSOAA 2010)

in conjunction with ICWS 2010, SCC 2010, CLOUD 2010, and SERVICES 2010
July 5–10, 2010, Miami, Florida, USA

Theme of the Workshop: Real-Time Cloud Computing

As the paradigm service-oriented computing gains more prominence in the development of systems and commercial applications, the capability of guaranteeing service timeliness is becoming a critical feature that elevates an enterprise to the next level. Real time service-oriented architecture and application (RTSOAA) evolve the traditional service-oriented computing approach to the next level of excellence. RTSOAA presents a new set of emerging issues and challenges that are expected to be identified, resolved by the service-oriented computing community. This workshop is intended to provide an effective forum for researchers and industry practitioners to exchange research outcomes, issues, ideas, experiences, and lessons learned. 

The theme of RTSOAA 2010 is Real-Time Cloud Computing. The examples of research topics include (1) scientific and engineering approaches to meet timing constraints and to select cloud-enabled services and resources for optimizing the tradeoff between cost and efficiency; (2) technical and managerial issues of real-time cloud computing: modeling, infrastructure composition, coordination, planning and scheduling, choreography, deployment, configuration, collaboration, monitoring and control, and governance. (3) real-time cloud computing platforms and infrastructures for supporting application domains such as Healthcare, Green Data Center, Large-Scale Analytics, Smart Cities, Workload Optimization Systems.

Scope of the Workshop

RTSOAA signifies an interdisciplinary area that covers disciplines such as real-time systems, service-oriented architecture, software engineering, decision technology, database management and so on. RTSOAA 2010 welcomes the submission of papers from researchers and practitioners in the subjects related but not limited to:

  1. Real-Time Cloud Computing
    • Real-time cloud computing infrastructure & platform

Paper Submission Information

At least one of the authors of each accepted paper or fast abstract must register by paying full registration fee as a participant of the workshop to have the paper or fast abstract published in the proceedings. Each accepted paper or fast abstract must be presented in person by an author. Submission of full-length papers is limited to six pages. If a paper is accepted as short paper its length must be reduced to no more than four pages. The other type of paper is position paper that shows the preliminary results and your position of specific problems. Position papers are limited to 2 pages. Page counting includes all figures, tables, and references. All papers have to be submitted to http://confhub.com/conf.php?id=183. The best papers from the proceedings will be invited for submission to prestigious journals.

The format of submitted papers should follow the guidelines for the IEEE conference proceedings. Manuscripts will be limited to 6 pages including all figures, tables, and references. The format of submitted papers must follow the IEEE conference proceedings guidelines (i.e., 8.5" x 11", Two-Column Format (see ftp://pubftp.computer.org/press/outgoing/proceedings/). All papers will be carefully reviewed by at least three reviewers. All accepted papers will be published in the electronic conference proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society, indexed through INSPEC and EI Index (Elsevier's Engineering Information Index), and automatically included in the IEEE Digital Library.
