Service-oriented computing : 12th international conference, ICSOC 2014, Paris, France, November 3-6, 2014, proceedings
Résumé
Welcome to the proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing (ICSOC 2014), held in Paris, France, November 3-6, 2014. ICSOC 2014 was co-organized by Télecom SudParis (Institut Mines-T élecom) and the Paris Dauphine University. These proceedings contain high-quality research papers that represent the latest results, ideas, and position and vision statements in the field of service-oriented computing. Since the first occurrence of the conference more than 10 years ago, ICSOC has grown to become the premier international forum for academics, industry researchers, and practitioners to share, report, and discuss their groundbreaking work. ICSOC 2014 continued along this tradition. In addition to traditional topics such as service-oriented architecture, service design, service description, and service composition, service change management is a key topic that reflects the need for services to adapt to dynamic environments. Cloud service management also naturally appears as a topic of intersection between service-oriented computing and cloud computing. This year's call for papers attracted 180 research and industry submissions from 31 countries and six continents. The submissions were rigorously evaluated by three reviewers, followed by a discussion moderated by a senior Program Committee (PC) member who made a final recommendation in the form of a meta-review. The PC was composed of 112 world-class experts in service-oriented computing from 22 different countries. The ICSOC 2014 program featured 25 full papers (acceptance rate of 13.9%) and 26 short papers. The conference program was highlighted by two invited keynotes (by Joseph Sifakis from RiSD Laboratory EPFL and François Bancilhon from Data Publica), lively panel discussions, multiple demonstrations, the PhD Symposium, and seven workshops on different aspects of service-oriented and cloud computing. We would like to express our gratitude to all individuals, institutions, and sponsors that supported ICSOC 2014. The high-quality program you are about to experience would have not been possible without the expertise and dedication of our PC and in particular of our senior PC members. We are grateful for the guidance of the general chair (Samir Tata), the effort of more than 60 external reviewers, the proceedings chair (Sami Bhiri), the local organizers (led by Walid Gaaloul and Daniela Grig- ori) and volunteers, and last but not least to the distinguished members of the ICSOC Steering Committee. All of them helped to make ICSOC 2014 a success. Finally, a special word of thanks goes to all researchers, practitioners, and students who contributed their presentations, questions, and active participation in the conference. We hope you enjoy these proceedings!
