[fg-arc] CfP: SummerSoC - symposium and summer school for service-oriented computing and more

[Oliver Kopp]

SummerSOC 2018 grants the "Christos Nikolaou PhD Award" for best PhD thesis
in the area of SOC, BPM, and Cloud. Maybe, you know good candidates?

Besides that, we look forward for papers submitted to SummerSOC. The best
ones will be published at the Springer Journal ‘Computer Science – Research
and Development’.

SummerSoC - symposium and summer school for service-oriented computing and
more. | http://www.summersoc.eu/

Deadline: 2018-03-16, Format: Springer CSRD journal format, best papers
published in "Springer Journal ‘Computer Science – Research and
Development’"


SummerSoC is a well-established summer school and symposium focusing on
service-oriented computing. The area of service-oriented computing is
interpreted quite broadly, i.e. areas of interest for SummerSoC include
cloud computing, business process management (i.e. service orchestrations),
theoretical foundations of services, and applications in/of these areas,
especially applications dealing with big /smart data and data sciences.

At SummerSoC, renowned researchers and leading industry practitioners give
tutorials and invited talks on current topics from the areas above. PhD
students present posters of their ongoing work and give plenary
presentations of their theses. The agenda ensures that enough time is
allocated for a lot of discussions. Participants come from both, academia
as well as industry, and from all over the world.

SummerSoC is also a forum for presenting and discussing research from the
areas above. Interested researchers submit papers that are peer-reviewed.
In addition to novel research work, we also ask for application and
experience papers as well as overview papers (these submissions have to be
marked accordingly). Authors of accepted papers are expected to attend
SummerSoC 2018, present their paper in the plenum as well as in the poster
session.

Accepted papers will be published in a special issue of the IBM Technical
Report series. Best papers will be published in a Special Issue of the
Springer Journal ‘Computer Science – Research and Development’, 2018.
Additionally, the extended abstracts of the accepted posters will be
published in the IBM Technical Report.

We invite submissions on the following topics:

    Developing services for the cloud
        Moving existing services to the cloud
        Methods and tools for developing “cloud native” services
        DevOps paradigm for services

    Advanced types of applications
        Decentralized applications (blockchains,…)
        Use of Quantum Computers
    Big/smart Data and Data Science
        Computational Models for Big Data
        Software Systems to Support Big Data Computing
        Cloud/Grid/Stream Computing for Big Data
