CALL FOR PAPERS
2008 IEEE SOA Industry Summit - China
(SOA China 2008)
Services
Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an architectural style that seeks to
create a set of business-aligned IT services that collectively support
an organization’s business processes and goals. As a cross
discipline, this alignment of business and IT addresses how to enable
IT technology to help people perform business services more efficiently
and effectively.
This 4th industry summit on SOA, organized by IEEE, is intended to
bridge the gap between Services Computing and Business models that are
supported by them, with an emerging suite of ground-breaking
technologies that includes SOA, business process modeling, integration
and management, grid/utility/autonomic computing, enterprise service
bus and Web 2.0. The relative placement of these emerging technologies,
standards and concepts need to be clarified for the pragmatic needs of
the industry.
Theme
The SOA China 2008 event is focused on industry practitioners who work on
real-world systems, applying the SOA principles, standards,
technologies, tools, protocols, solutions and management. These
practitioners had exhibited the ability to combine multiple
technologies, standards and initiatives within the SOA world in order
to create a viable and pragmatic solution that has successfully been
demonstrated to solve problems. In addition to best practices
or, in the case of an emerging discipline, adequate practices that have
proven successful are needed. In addition warning examples of
how not to apply projects are also welcome because they provide a venue
and context for avoiding common pitfalls in the combination off SOA
resources that are often confusing to practitioners in the field.
In consideration of the value of the time of such practitioners in
writing a full-length paper, particularly for the people in the
industry sectors, SOA China 2008 is proposing a new format for paper
submission. In place of the requirements of 8-page long research
papers, we encourage the professionals and practitioners in the
industry sectors to submit a 2-page abstract consisting of experience
reports.
It is recommended that a presentation document is attached with the
abstract. Experience reports are expected to provide and describe new
insights gained in the context of case studies or the application of
SOA in practice. These papers will be evaluated on their relevance and significance to
industries and the clarity of expression. All accepted papers will be
published in the conference proceedings, which will be included in the
IEEE digital library and Engineering Index (EI) database.
