Call for Tutorial Proposals
2009 IEEE Asia-Pacific Services Computing Conference
(IEEE APSCC 2009)
December 7th - 11th, 2009; Biopolis, Singapore
http://apscc09.i2r.a-star.edu.sg/
*** Submission Deadline: June 29, 2009 (23:59 GMT)
===================================================================
Services Computing is a new cross-discipline that covers the science and
technology needed to bridge the gap between business services and
IT/telecommunication services. The goal of services computing is to
develop new computing technology and thereby enable more advanced
IT/telecommunication services to support business services more
efficiently and effectively. IEEE APSCC 2009 is an important forum for
researchers and industry practitioners to exchange information regarding
advancements in the state of art and practice of
IT/telecommunication-driven business services and application services,
as well as to identify emerging research topics and define the future
directions of Services Computing.
We solicit proposals for tutorials for presentation at the IEEE APSCC
2009 conference. Proposals must provide an in-depth survey of the chosen
topic with the option of describing a particular piece of work in
detail. A meaningful summary of open issues in the topic is highly
recommended. The main research topics of the IEEE APSCC 2009 conference
include, but are not limited to:
* Business Process Integration and Management;
* Cloud/Utility/Web Computing;
* Foundations of Services Computing;
* Mobile/Ubiquitous/Pervasive Computing;
* Service-centric Computing Models; and
* Telecommunication Services.
Proposals must be no more than five (5) pages, using an 11 pt or larger
font for the body of the text of the proposal, and must include enough
details to provide a sense of both the scope of material to be covered
and the depth to which it will be covered. Tutorial proposals should
include the following elements:
* Title of the tutorial;
* Tutorial Length (typically 3 or 5 hours);
* A description of the tutorial topic(s);
* Organization of the tutorial;
* A description of how the tutorial will contribute to the field of
services computing;
* Intended audience and any prerequisite knowledge for attendees; and
* Details about the speaker(s) including full name, affiliation,
mailing address, e-mail address, and a short biography.
Please submit proposals by E-mail (in PDF format) to Brahim Medjahed
(brahim(a)umd.umich.edu) AND Qin Zheng (qinz(a)ihpc.a-star.edu.sg) by June
29, 2009 (23:59 GMT).

Call for Papers
Special Issue on Scientific Workflows
International Journal of Business Process Integration and Management
(IJBPIM) <https://www.inderscience.com/browse/index.php?journalID=115>
Description
Scientific workflows have recently emerged as a new paradigm for
scientists to formalize and structure complex scientific processes to
enable and accelerate many significant scientific discoveries. A
scientific workflow is a formal specification of a scientific process,
which represents, streamlines, and automates the analytical and
computational steps that a scientist needs to go through from dataset
selection and integration, computation and analysis, to final data
product presentation and visualization. A scientific workflow management
system (SWFMS) is a system that supports the specification,
modification, execution, failure recovery, and monitoring of a
scientific workflow using the workflow logic to control the order of
executing workflow tasks.
The goal of this special issue is to present critical challenges,
requirements, and issues related to scientific workflows. This
collection of manuscripts will discuss key aspects in the development of
a broad range of novel and innovative scientific workflow technologies.
The emphasis of the special issue is on critical challenges in the
development of various scientific workflows specifically as they relate
to business workflow and service technologies. Particular emphasis will
be placed on examples where innovative solutions to these challenges
have resulted in scientific workflows which impact the scientific
discovery process. Topics include but are not limited to:
List of topic
* Scientific workflow provenance management
* Scientific workflow provenance analytics
* Scientific workflow data, metadata, service, and task
management
* Scientific workflow architectures, models, and languages
* Scientific workflow monitoring and failure handling
* Streaming data processing in scientific workflows
* Pipelined, data, workflow, and task parallelism in scientific
workflows
* Service, Grid, or Cloud-based scientific workflows
* Data, metadata, compute, user-interaction, or
visualization-intensive scientific workflows
* Scientific workflow composition
* Security issues in scientific workflows
* Data integration and service integration in scientific
workflows
* Scientific workflow mapping, optimization, and scheduling
* Scientific workflow modeling, verification, and validation
* Scalability, reliability, extensibility, agility, and
interoperability
* Scientific workflow real-life applications
Important dates
* July 1, 2009, paper submission
* October 1, 2009, notification
* January 1, 2010, camera-ready version
* Planned publication, middle of 2010
