---------------------------

ICSOC'06 seeks original papers in the field of service oriented
computing, from theoretical and foundational results to empirical
evaluations as well as practical and industrial experiences, with the
emphasis on results that contribute to solve the many still open
research problems that are of significant impact to the field of
service oriented applications. Topics include but are not limited to
the following:

Business Service Modeling: Methods and tools for capturing business
goals and requirements, Decomposition into business services,
Business processes, Business policies, Modeling, analysis, and
simulation, Specification of functional and non-functional quality
requirements;

Service Assembly: Development and Discovery: Model-driven
development, Service composition architectures, Service registries,
Service discovery mechanisms, Semantic matching, Methods and tools
for service development, Governance, Verification and validation,
Deployment strategies;

Service Management: Instrumentation and service related data
aggregation, end-to-end Measurement, Analysis, Modeling and Capacity
planning, Definition of  deployment topology, Infrastructure
configuration, Problem determination for SOAs, ITIL processes, Change
management in live systems.

SOA Runtime: Service Bus for mediation, transformation and routing,
Runtime registry, Integration of legacy applications, Information
services for data access and data integration, Scalability,
Topology  and Optimization, Service oriented middleware, Policy based
configuration & Workload management

Quality of Service: Reliable Service-Oriented Computing, Security and
Privacy in Service-Oriented Computing, SLA and Policy specification,
QoS Negotiation, Autonomic management of service levels, Empirical
Studies and Benchmarking of QoS, Performance and Dependability
prediction in SOA;

Grid Services: Services and architecture for management of
infrastructural resources, Data and Compute intensive applications,
Execution and resource allocation services for job scheduling,
Protocols for coordination across multiple resource managers,
Business value based allocation, Innovative Strategies for Creation
and Management of Virtual Enterprises and Organizations, Prototype
systems and Toolkits.
