CALL FOR PAPERS

8th European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC 2020)

April 1-3, 2020, Heraklion, Crete, Greece

https://esocc-conf.eu 

 

=== SCOPE ===

Service-oriented and cloud computing have made a huge impact both on the
software industry and on the research community. 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 and cloud computing in Europe. The main objectives of the
conference are to facilitate the exchange between researchers and
practitioners in the areas of service-oriented and cloud computing, as well
as to explore new trends and foster future collaborations in Europe and
beyond.

 

=== TRACKS ===

- Main conference: three days full of invited talks, panels, 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.

Details about all the tracks are available at the conference web site:

=== SUBMISSIONS ===

ESOCC 2020 invites submissions in all the tracks:

- Regular research papers (15 pages)

- Ph.D. Symposium (8 pages, authored by the PhD student with indication of
his/her supervisors' names)

- European Project Space (1-to-5 pages description of ongoing projects)

We only accept original papers, not submitted for publication elsewhere. The
papers must be formatted according to the LNCS proceedings guidelines. They
must be submitted to the EasyChair site at

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esocc2020 by selecting the right
track.

All accepted papers of the main conference will be included in the
conference proceedings published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (LNCS) series (http://www.springer.com/lncs). Upon request,
accepted papers can be offered in open-access form.

There is a high possibility that the accepted papers of the other tracks and
the satellite workshops will be published on CCIS series of Springer (final
approval pending)

At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to register and
present the work at the conference.

ESOCC 2020 also invites proposals for satellite workshops. More details
