======================================================== CALL FOR PAPER ========= 2nd Annoucement ============= 1st International Workshop on Recent Trends in SOA Based Information Systems (RTSOABIS’10) June 8 –12, 2010 ======================================================== in conjunction with the 12th International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems (http:// www.iceis.org/) Funchal, Madeira, Portugal The “Recent Trends in SOA Based Information Systems “(RTSOABIS’10) is a new Workshop joint to ICEIS 2010. Service Oriented Architecture is an architectural approach to designing, building, and deploying information systems such that the system is created from simpler manageable building blocks, offering “services.” Each service implements a discrete piece of business functionality. These services can then be mixed and matched to create entirely new applications or to deliver new business capabilities. As a concept, SOA is not new. It is a product of the evolution of IT architecture and distributed computing concepts. However, it has only become a reality over the last few years because of the emergence of standards and maturation of supporting technology. The Internet has played a significant role in the evolution of these standards, allowing (Web) services to interoperate globally within and across the boundaries of large and small organizations. Without standards, it would be difficult for services to communicate and interact with each other. Consequently, the aforementioned sharing, reuse and combination of services to create business processes on an as-needed basis would not be possible. At its core, service orientation is about aligning technology to efficiently and flexibly support the process and performance needs of the business. It means a technology capability that: • Meets the process and performance needs of the business • Adapts quickly to changing business needs • Can incorporate new technologies to deliver new business capability Under conventional approaches to building IT systems, an application typically supports a pre-defined set of business requirements (such as sales orders or accounting). Whenever a new business need arises, organizations build or install new applications. This is highly inefficient especially when the different applications perform similar tasks and share the same data. Hence, SOA provides both IT flexibility and business agility. SOA is an industrial reality with projects and commercial offers. Moreover, related advanced topics are numerous as : Cloud Computing, Grid, Green IT, Software as a Service, Aspect Based Services, service based Multi Agent Systems ... This first workshop on Recent Trends in SOA Based Information Systems provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to present results, applications, and experiences in software based on SOA and Web services. The organizing committee welcomes high quality contributions that describe original and unpublished works in the field of services-based application engineering in terms of design, development, testing, and deployment, Enterprise Service Bus ... =============================================================== The workshop welcomes three types of submissions: 1. Full papers describing novel ideas on recent trends in aspects based applications at practical or theoretical levels. The maximum length of a full paper is 10 pages. 2. Position papers describing work in progress or an author’s position regarding the recent practice of software engineering for aspects based applications and/or its future trends. The maximum length of a position paper is 4 pages. 3. Demo papers describing practical context-aware application/prototype. The maximum length of a demo paper is 4 pages. It is expected that the authors of the paper will showcase their application in public. Instructions for preparing manuscripts (in Word and Latex format) are available at the ICSOFT web site. Papers should be submitted through the online submission system. All papers will undergo a double-blind review and be selected on the basis of relevance, clarity and technical quality. At least one author should attend the workshop to present the paper. All accepted papers will be published, under an ISBN reference, by INSTICC Press in the workshop proceedings. The workshop proceedings will be distributed to the participants in printed form at the registration desk. Publication of a selection of the workshop's best papers in a special issue of an international journal is under investigation. =================================================== Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: SOA Architecture & Design Service Modeling & BPM The Business of Service-Orientation SOA Project Delivery & Methodology Service Programming SOA Governance SOA Design Patterns & Service Engineering Modern ESB & SOA Middleware Interactive Services & the Human Factor Model Driven Development Ontologies Formal specifications and verification E-learning, Intelligent Tutoring Systems Multi Agent Systems based on services Interoperability Mobility Context aware applications Real Time Human Men Interface Real World SOA Case Studies, Industrial feed back SOA & Rest Software as a Service Green IT SOA & Cloud Computing Cloud Computing GRID =========================== Important dates: Regular Paper Submission: March 08, 2010 Authors Notification: April 06, 2010 Final Paper Submission and Registration: April 21, 2010 ========================== Chairs Wathiq Mansoor Professor America University in Dubai Dubai, UAE wmansoor@aud.edu Said Elnaffar Professor America University in Dubai Dubai, UAE said.elnaffar@gmail.com Valérie Monfort Assistant professor Université Paris1 Panthéon Sorbonne, FRANCE ISIG, Kairouan University TUNISIA Valerie.monfort@univ-paris1.fr ============================== Valérie Monfort, Université Paris1 Panthéon Sorbonne, France Nicole Lévy, Université de Versailles PRISM, France Flavien Balbo, Université de Paris Dauphine LAMSADE, France Serge Haddad, Ecole Normale Supérieure Cachan LSV, France Maha Khemaja, ISIG Kairouan, PRINCE Sousse, Tunisie Zakaria Maamar, America University in Dubai, UAE Fabrice Bacou, IBM IT Services, France Houssine Ezzdine, Université de Valenciennes LAMY, France Riadh Robbana, Ecole Polytechnique de Tunis, Tunisie Abdelkrim Meziane, CERIST Alger, Algérie Géraldine Polaillon, SUPELEC Orsay, France Slimane Hammoudi, ESEO Angers, France Denivaldo Lopes, Université de Sao Luis, Brésil Faeiz Gargouri, Université de Sfax, Tunisie Wassim Jaziri, Université de Sfax, Tunisie
