24th International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing, ICSOC 2026 Lodz, Poland, December 1-4, 2026
Conference site: https://icsoc2026.it.p.lodz.pl/ Submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icsoc2026 *** Call for Papers *** 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. 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. Early submissions: Authors are invited to consider early submissions. Early submission papers will undergo a full peer-review process. Early submissions may receive a decision of acceptance, minor revision, major revision, or rejection. Authors receiving a minor or major revision decision may revise and resubmit their paper for a second round; in doing so, they must include an appendix (maximum 2 pages) describing how they have addressed the reviewers’ comments from the early submission. Authors of rejected papers may submit a new version of the paper to the regular submission round by the specified deadline. In such cases, a substantially revised version of the original paper is expected, and authors are required to include an appendix (maximum 2 pages) describing how the issues identified in the early submission have been addressed. 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.
