Call for Demonstrations

The 14th International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing (ICSOC 2016)
October 10-13, 2016, Banff, Alberta, Canada

The ICSOC Demonstration Track offers an exciting and highly interactive way to show research prototypes/work in service oriented computing (SOC) and related areas. Proposals for research prototype demos should focus on developments and innovation in the areas of service engineering, operations, cloud and big data services, implementation of services as well as development and adoption of services in specific organizations, businesses and the society at large.

* Business Intelligence and Analytics for Services
* Services on the Cloud (XAAS)
* Service Integration and Orchestration
* Service Engineering Tools and Methodology
* Service Design Methods and Tools
* Service Change Management Systems
* Service Operations and Management
* Service Applications and Implementations
* Service-oriented Architecture Showcases
* Quality of Service Design and Management

* Service Vocabularies and Ontology
* Cloud Computing Services and Engineering
* Grid and Scientific Computing Services
* Pervasive and Mobile Services
* Embedded and Real-time Services
* Testbeds for Service Technologies and Concepts
* Social Networks and Services
* Internet of Things Services
* Data-aware Services including Artifact-Centric Systems
* Services for Big Data
* Human-mediated Services
* RESTful Web Services
* Open API

DEMO SUBMISSION
Submissions have to include description of the contribution including title, system overview, summary of the significance and novel characteristics as well as functions/features to be demonstrated. Descriptions are to be written in English and must not exceed four (4) pages following LNCS format (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for details). Additionally, authors may provide a link to a short online video or screen cast not exceeding 6 minutes in length (hard limit) of their demonstration. The video is recommended, not mandatory. The video must be playable using a wide variety of media players.

Submissions have to be submitted electronically, in PDF format, via the Demonstration Track in the conference submission system: 6. All demo submissions will be selected based on several criteria including the novelty, the maturity of the effort as well as the research contributions of the demonstration system. We are particularly interested in submissions that deal with new types of applications in SOC and relevant areas, which help motivate conference attendees to pursue similar efforts. Accepted papers will be included in the ICSOC 2016 conference proceedings to be published by Springer.

At least one author is expected to register for and showcase the demonstration at the ICSOC 2016 conference in Banff, Alberta, Canada.
