AIMS AND SCOPE

ICSOC, the International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing, is the premier international forum for academics, industry researchers, developers, and practitioners to report and share groundbreaking work in service-oriented computing. ICSOC fosters cross-community scientific excellence by gathering experts from various disciplines, such as services science, data science, management science, business-process management, distributed systems, wireless and mobile computing, cloud and edge computing, cyber-physical systems, Internet of Things (IoT), scientific workflows, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and services and software engineering.

ICSOC provides a premier international forum for presenting results and discussing ideas that further our knowledge and understanding of the various aspects (e.g., application and system aspects) related to Service Computing and identify research challenges in new research areas such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data analytics, IoT, digital twins and emerging technologies including quantum computing.

ICSOC, the International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing, is the premier international forum for academics, industry researchers, developers, and practitioners to report and share groundbreaking work in service-oriented computing. 

ICSOC is the premier international forum for presenting the most recent and significant research contributions in service-oriented computing. These are organized in four focus areas:

Focus Area 1: Service-Oriented Technology Basics and Trends

    Service design, specification, discovery, customization, composition, testing, deployment, and operation

    Service change management

    Theoretical foundations of Service Science and Engineering

    Service monitoring and adaptive management

    Secure service lifecycle development

    Privacy management aspects for services

    Trust management for services

    Service mining and analytics

    Innovative service business models

    Service-based business process management

Focus Area 2: AI for Services and as-a-Service

    Data-provisioning services

    Data-driven service composition

    Data governance service-oriented architectures

    AI as service

    AI-empowered service construction and composition

    AI tools for service science and engineering

    Federated Learning Services

Focus Area 3: Novel Service Frameworks for Cloud Continuum and Smart Environments

    Green ICT and Sustainability of Service Systems

    Cloud service management

    Cloud and fog computing

    Cloud Edge continuum

    Edge service orchestration

    IoT Services

    XaaS (Everything as a Service)

    Services in cyber physical systems

    Smart services

Focus Area 4: Emerging Technologies

    Service-oriented architectures for digital twin systems

    Digital Twin as a Service (DTaaS)

    Metaverse services

    Lightweight service deployment and management

    Social networks and services

    Low code services

    Virtual reality and augmented reality services

    Blockchain services

    Cybersecurity services

    Quantum services

    Green services

We invite high-quality submissions of research papers describing original contributions that are unpublished and not under review elsewhere. The research papers will focus on traditional areas or in a specific focus area mentioned above. Research in each area will be considered strictly in the context of service-oriented computing. No papers would be accepted unless they clearly illustrate the contribution to the ICSOC areas of interest. Failure to provide such information can result in desk rejection. 

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Papers should be formatted according to Springer's LNCS Formatting Guidelines https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines. Authors are encouraged to provide supplementary material to suport reproducibility; however, reviewers are not required to consider it, and all decisions will be based solely on the main paper. Submissions must be in English and, at the initial submission stage, all papers must be between 10 and 15 pages in length, including references. All papers must be submitted electronically to the Conference Submission System. Each paper must be submitted on or before the provided deadlines. Authors are kindly invited to respect the abstract submission deadline, which is set one week before the paper submission. After the review process, papers accepted as full papers may have a length of up to 15 pages (including abstract, figures and references). On the other hand, some papers may be accepted as short papers, in which case they must be limited to a maximum of 8 pages. The final submission should be formatted according to Springer's LNCS Camera-ready instructions.

ICSOC implements a double-blind reviewing process. Author names and affiliations should not appear in the paper. The authors should make a reasonable effort not to reveal their identities or institutional affiliations in the text, figures, photos, links, or other data that is contained in the paper. Authors' prior work should be referred to in the third person. Submissions that violate these requirements will be desk rejected without review. The list of authors cannot be changed after the acceptance decision is made unless approved by the Program Chairs. 

PROCEEDINGS

Accepted papers will be published in a volume of the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series and will be indexed in DBLP, Google Scholar, EI-Compendex, SCImago and Scopus. 

For each accepted paper, at least one author must attend the conference and present the paper. The deadline for identifying and registering this individual author is together with the camera-ready submission.
