Today, service and cloud technologies are applied to build large-scale software landscapes as well as to provide single software services to end users. Services today are independently developed and deployed as well as freely composed while they can be implemented in a variety of technologies, a quite important fact from a business perspective. Similarly, cloud computing aims at enabling flexibility by offering a centralized sharing of resources. The industry's need for agile and flexible software and IT systems has made cloud computing the dominating paradigm for provisioning computational resources in a scalable, on-demand fashion. Nevertheless, service developers, providers, and integrators still need to create methods, tools and techniques to support cost-effective and secure development as well as use of dependable devices, platforms, services and service-oriented applications in the cloud. The European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC) is the premier conference on advances in the state of the art and practice of service-oriented computing and cloud computing in Europe. The main objectives of this conference are to facilitate the exchange between researchers and practitioners in the areas of service-oriented computing and cloud computing, as well as to explore the new trends in those areas and foster future collaborations in Europe and beyond. ------ Tracks ------ - Main conference: three days full of invited talks, panels, and presentations of selected research papers, including a dedicated day to satellite workshops. - PhD Symposium: an opportunity for Ph.D. students to present their research activities and perspectives, to critically discuss them with other PhD students and with established researchers in the area, hence getting fruitful feedback and advices on their research activities - European Projects Track: a useful opportunity for researchers around Europe to disseminate the latest research developments in their projects and meet representatives of other consortia.

Indeed, much scientific and technological growth in recent years, including in computer vision, natural language processing, transportation, and health, has been driven by large-scale data sets which provide a strong basis to improve existing algorithms and develop new ones. However, due to their large-scale and longitudinal collection, archiving these data sets raise significant privacy concerns. They often reveal sensitive personal information that can be exploited, without the knowledge and/or consent of the involved individuals, for various purposes including monitoring, discrimination, and illegal activities. The goal of the AAAI-20 Workshop on Privacy-Preserving Artificial Intelligence is to provide a platform for researchers to discuss problems and present solutions related to privacy issues arising within AI applications. The workshop will focus on both theoretical and practical challenges arising in the design of privacy-preserving AI systems and algorithms. It will place particular emphasis on algorithmic approaches to protect data privacy in the context of learning, optimization, and decision making that raise fundamental challenges for existing technologies. Additionally, it will welcome algorithms and frameworks to release privacy-preserving benchmarks and datasets. Topics We invite paper submissions on the following (and related) topics: • Applications of privacy-preserving AI systems • Architectures and privacy-preserving learning protocols • Constrained-based approaches to privacy • Differential privacy: theory and applications • Distributed privacy-preserving algorithms • Human-aware private algorithms • Incentive mechanisms and game theory • Privacy-preserving machine learning • Privacy-preserving algorithms for medical applications • Privacy-preserving algorithms for temporal data • Privacy-preserving test cases and benchmarks • Privacy and policy-making • Secure multi-party computation • Secret sharing techniques • Trade-offs between privacy and utility Position, perspective, and vision papers are also welcome. The workshop will welcome papers that describe the release of privacy-preserving benchmarks and datasets that can be used by the community to solve fundamental problems of interest, including in machine learning and optimization for health systems and urban networks, to mention but a few examples. Papers accepted in the main conference are also welcome! Important Dates • November 15, 2019 – Submission Deadline • December 4, 2019 – Acceptance Notification • February 7 or 8, 2020 – Workshop Date (Full day) Format The workshop will be a full-day and will include a mix of invited speakers, peer-reviewed papers (talks and poster sessions) and will conclude with a panel discussion. Attendance Attendance is open to all. At least one author of each accepted submission must be present at the workshop. Submission Submission URL: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ppai20 Submissions of technical papers can be up to 7 pages excluding references and appendices.

The special issue belongs to the Elsevier journal “Science of Computer Programming” (ISSN: 0167-6423). Aims and scope Nowadays software systems are distributed, concurrent, mobile, and often involve the composition of heterogeneous components and stand-alone (micro)services. Service coordination, service orchestration and self-adaptation constitute the core characteristics of distributed and service-oriented systems. Theoretical/practical approaches to modelling and reasoning about (self-)adaptive behaviour help to simplify the development of complex distributed systems, enable their validation and evaluation, and improve interoperability, reusability and maintainability of such systems. The goal of this special issue is to allow researchers and practitioners to discuss common problems and present novel solutions in the aforementioned fields. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) both theoretical and practical solutions for what follows: * Coordination, orchestration, composition and adaptation of components, services or microservices. * Business processes and concurrent system modelling. * Languages and models for component and service interaction, their semantics, expressiveness, validation and verification, type checking, static and dynamic analysis. * Cloud/fog/edge computing, and large-scale distributed systems. * Dynamic software architectures, self-adaptive, self-monitoring and self-organizing systems. * Peer-to-peer and multi-agent systems, and blockchains. * QoS observation, storage, history-based analysis in self-adaptive systems.

Workshop Modellbasierte und modellgetriebene Softwaremodernisierung (MMSM 2020) @ Modellierung 2020 Message-ID: <6fc8921f-d6fb-0181-d395-bc420714e970@upb.de> Sehr geehrte Kolleginnen und Kollegen, bitte entschuldigen Sie, falls Sie den nachfolgenden Aufruf zur Einreichung von Beiträgen mehrfach erhalten! Einreichungsfrist: 01. Dezember 2019 _______________________________________________________________ *5. Workshop „Modellbasierte und modellgetriebene Softwaremodernisierung“* *(MMSM 2020)* _______________________________________________________________ gemeinsamer Workshop der Fachgruppe "Architekturen" sowie der Arbeitskreise „Langlebige Software-Systeme“ (L2S2) und „Traceability/Evolution“ akl2s2.ipd.kit.edu/veranstaltungen/mmsm2020/ im Rahmen der Konferenz Modellierung 2020 19. – 22. Februar 2020 in Wien modellierung2020.omilab.org *Aufruf zur Einreichung von Beiträgen* *Thema* Forderungen nach permanenter Änderbarkeit und nach verbesserten Qualitätseigenschaften von Softwaresystemen wie Performanz, Sicherheit und Zuverlässigkeit erfordern umfangreiche und regelmäßige Modernisierungsmaßnahmen. Zur Modernisierung zählen sowohl die Migration auf eine neue technische Plattform oder in eine andere Einsatzumgebung (Portierung) als auch Anpassung der Software zur Erfüllung geänderter funktionaler und nicht-funktionaler Anforderungen (Wartung oder Erweiterung). Diese Forderungen werden umso drängender, je wichtiger diese Systeme für Geschäftsprozesse und Produkte sind. Wegen der Kritikalität und der Größe vieler Systeme beinhaltet die Modernisierung sehr komplexe Aufgaben mit hohen Kosten und großen Risiken. Die Verwendung von Modellen kann helfen, die Komplexität zu beherrschen und durch frühzeitige Bewertung von Qualitätseigenschaften die Risiken zu verringern. Der Workshop dient der Identifikation neuer Forschungstrends auf Basis des aktuellen industriellen Bedarfs, der Suche nach geeigneten Ansätzen zur Problemlösung sowie zum Austausch von Erfahrungen mit modellbasierten und modellgetriebenen Techniken und Methoden für die Softwaremodernisierung. Er richtet sich an Wissenschaftler und Praktiker. Beiträge werden insbesondere zu der folgenden, nicht abschließenden Liste von Themen erwartet: -    Verbindung von Architekturmodellierung mit Anforderungsbeschreibung und Implementierung -    Transformationen von Architekturmodellen -    Methoden des Architektur-Reengineering -    Visualisierung von Architekturen -    Modellbasiertes Refactoring -    Architekturqualität -    Reengineering-Entscheidungen -    Modellierung von Traceability im Reengineering -    Konsistenzsicherung zwischen Anforderungen, Modellen und Code beim Roundtrip-Engineering -    Modellbasierte Komponenteninteroperabilitätsprüfung und -adaption -    Modellbasierte Integration und Migration *Einreichung und Publikation* Zum Workshop können sowohl wissenschaftlich-technische Beiträge als auch Praxis-/Erfahrungsberichte eingereicht werden. Sie sollen eine Länge von 6–12 Seiten im LNI-Format (Autorenrichtlinien: https://gi.de/service/publikationen/lni/) haben.

Papers that have already been accepted or are currently under review for other conferences or journals will not be considered for publication at RCIS 2020. Papers should be in English and must be associated to one of the following categories: Technical solution papers (max 16 pages Springer) present solutions that are novel or significantly improve existing approaches. A technical solution paper must include a preliminary validation of the proposed solution, and results must be stated clearly enough so that it is possible to validate them in follow-up research. Evaluation papers (max 16 pages Springer) evaluate existing problem situations or validate proposed solutions through scientific means, i.e., by empirical studies, experiments, case studies, simulations, mathematical proofs, etc. The research method must be sound and appropriate. Industrial practice and experience papers (max 16 pages Springer) thoroughly present problems or challenges encountered in practice, elaborate on success or failure with existing approaches, or report on industrial practice (e.g., methods and tools). A paper in this category shall provide a clear context, detail the problem or the industrial practice, and explain the lessons learned. Work in progress papers (max 8 pages Springer) present relevant preliminary results across the spectrum of information science. These papers can either present a novel technical solution, or report on a preliminary evaluation of a technique. Please note that the maximum length of the paper includes references, appendices, etc. The submission site is http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=c2NlLmNhcmxldG9uLmNhICwJCQlmZy1hcmNAbGlzdHMudW5pLXBhZGVyYm9ybi5kZQkxNHRoIEludGVybmF0aW9uYWwgQ29uZmVyZW5jZSBvbiBSZXNlYXJjaCBDaGFsbGVuZ2VzIGluIEluZm9ybWF0aW9uIFNjaWVuY2UgKFJDSVMgMjAyMCk6IEZpZnRoIENhbGwgZm9yIFBhcGVycwk0NDQJTGlzdHMJMTQwCWNsaWNrCXllcwlubw==&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.easychair.org%2Fconferences%2F%3Fconf%3Drcis2020 . By submitting a paper, the authors agree that at least one of them will register to the conference and present the paper. The appearance of a paper in the Springer proceedings is dependent on the registration of one author within the early registration deadline on March 31, 2020. SPECIAL ISSUE A selection of the best accepted papers of RCIS'20, chosen by a dedicated committee, will be invited to submit an extended version of the RCIS paper to the Data & Knowledge Engineering (DKE) journal published by Elsevier (https://www.journals.elsevier.com/data-and-knowledge-engineering).
