CFP: The First International Workshop on Dependable Service-Oriented Computing (DSOC) http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/distsys/workshop_dsoc_2010.php In conjunction with 10th IEEE International Conference on Computer and Information Technology (CIT 2010) http://www.scim.brad.ac.uk/~ylwu/CIT2010/ Bradford, UK, 29 June - 01 July, 2010 Supported by IEEE Computer Society Scope: Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is concerned with the structure of service provision and consumption and the infrastructure to support the interactions. The architecture is made of service suppliers and consumers, with suppliers advertising through registries or brokers for consumers to discover. The use of SOA has been motivated by many industries changing focus from product delivery to service-based delivery. The focus on service delivery has also been apparent in software, where networking has become faster, more reliable and more available through reduced cost. The approach to SOA in software enables business process integration that characterises business functions as services, and integrates dynamically across departments and organisations. Loose coupling is one of the key architectural principles of SOA, and this enables services to maintain a relationship that minimises dependencies and only requires maintaining an awareness of each other. Loose coupling is an approach where integration interfaces are developed with minimal assumptions between the sending/receiving parties, thus reducing the risk that a change in one service will force a change in another service. The loose coupling of SOA enables service implementations to be inter-changed and modified. However, service composition and integration is dependent on service interface definitions and requires management of workflow definitions to minimise impact on composite services. In the SOA, fast paced changes could be caused by evolution of services (e.g. adding or removing functions from services), evolution of service providers, evolution of networks and evolution of user's requirements. Changes in these cases could affect the dependability of service composition and integration. A composite service could be lost if one of the bound services offering the requested functions is removed by the service provider, or one of the requested functions that was previously available is removed or replaced by a different function. There are strong needs for improving dependability of service-oriented computing to make service-oriented systems more reliable, secure and robust for service provision and delivery. The First International Workshop on Dependable Service-Oriented Computing aims at collating efforts and main achievements that contribute to research and development of service-oriented systems. This workshop will address new issues in design and development of dependable service-oriented systems as well as new challenges in modelling and simulation of novel service-oriented architecture. The relevant topics include, but not limited to: * Dependable distributed systems * Security in Service-Oriented Computing * Trust evolution in large-scale systems * Dependable Cloud Computing * Dependable P2P Computing * Service Composition and Integration * Real-time systems * Service-Oriented P2P systems * Dependable Grid Services * Evolutionary Service-Oriented Architecture * Industrial Case Study Paper Submission: Authors are encouraged to submit high-quality, original work that has neither appeared in, nor is under consideration by, other conferences and journals. The length of the papers should not exceed 6 pages + 2 pages for overlength charges (IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts style: two columns, single-spaced), including figures and references, using 10 fonts, and number each page. All papers will be peer reviewed and the comments will be provided to the authors. The accepted papers will be published together with those of other workshops by the IEEE Computer Society Press. * Submission will be handled through EasyChair.
