CFP: The First International Workshop on Service and Cloud Based Data Integration (SCDI 2012). Submission due: April 15, 2012

** Apologies for cross-posting **



    *The First International Workshop on Service and Cloud Based Data
    Integration (SCDI 2012)*


Co-located with the 16th IEEE International EDOC Conference (EDOC 2012)

Beijing, China, 10th-11th September, 2012


    *About the Workshop*

Integration and synthesis of heterogeneous, autonomous and distributed 
data sources have been an essential and hard issue in enterprise 
computing. It is not always feasible to achieve effective data 
integration around definite schemas when there are mismatches in 
cross-domain integration and when such issues as compatibility, 
scalability, timeliness, and user manipulation are concerned. Service 
Oriented Architecture and Cloud computing have brought light to dealing 
with these hard issues. Recent years have seen some important progresses 
and potentials. The workshop intends to bring researchers, practitioners 
and vendors together to discuss and share ideas and experiences. It 
fosters novel models, methodologies, and solution patterns that address 
the data integration issue and fit in the service and cloud based settings.


    *Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:*

  * Service Abstraction and Virtualization for Distributed Data Integration
  * Modeling and Composition of Data Services
  * Scalability, Reliability and other Quality Assurance of Data Integration
  * Agile and ad-hoc Integration of heterogeneous Data Sources
  * Automatic Tracing and Response of Changes and Updates
  * Real-time Integration and Processing of Large-scale Sensor Data
  * Enterprise Mashup
  * User-friendly Mashup of Distributed Data Sources
  * Data Flow Modeling and Management in Cloud
  * Cloud-based Architectures for Distributed Data Integration
  * Applications of SOA and Cloud Infrastructure in Data Integration


    *Paper Submission*

Prospective authors are invited to submit research or application 
papers. Papers must be submitted as PDF files using EasyChair at 
https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=scdi2012. All 
submissions must conform to the two-column format of IEEE Computer 
Society conference proceedings 
(http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting) 
<http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting>and include the 
author's name, affiliation, and contact details.

Papers must not have been previously published or currently submitted 
for publication elsewhere. Each paper will be peer-reviewed by at least 
two experts in the field for originality, significance, clarity, impact, 
and soundness. The papers accepted for the EDOC 2012 Workshops will be 
published after the workshop with an ISBN in the IEEE Xplore Digital 
Library(indexed by EI). At least one of the authors for each accepted 
paper must register for the main conference and present their papers at 
the workshop.
