[Please accept our apologies if you received multiple copies of this call] --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3nd International Workshop on Dependable Service-Oriented and Cloud computing (DSOC 2012) http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/distsys/workshop_dsoc_2012.php In conjunction with 14th IEEE International Conference on High Performance Computing and Communication http://scim.brad.ac.uk/~hmibrahi/HPCC2012/ Liverpool, UK, 25-17 August, 2012 Supported by IEEE Computer Society Scope: As emerging technologies, Clouds and Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs) attract attention worldwide, ranging from casual Internet users to IT giants (e.g. Microsoft and Google). At the same time, the innovations of Clouds and SOAs also offer many interesting avenues of research for scientific communities. Recent advances in Cloud and SOAs, including computational power, storage, and networking, and infrastructure innovations, are providing exciting opportunities to make significant progress in understanding and solving complex real-world challenges. Such challenges typically require a system-level approach that models a complex system at different levels of abstraction, helps to develop sound architectures for addressing separate system requirements and concerns, and integrates diverse sources of knowledge on the system's components and their interactions. 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. Following the success of the first workshop held in 10th IEEE CIT last year, the third International Workshop on Dependable Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing aims at collating efforts and achievements on the research of system of system engineering for dependable Clouds and SOAs. This workshop will provide a forum to discuss fundamental issues on research and development of clouds and service-oriented systems as well as new challenges in modelling and simulation of novel service-oriented architectures. The relevant topics include, but not limited to: Cloud ComputingService-Oriented Computing (SOC)Internet-based Virtual Computing Environment (iVCE)Grid ComputingService-Oriented System Engineering (SoSE)System Engineering for Cloud ComputingWeb ServicesPeer-to-Peer Computing (P2P)Service Composition and IntegrationReal-time systemsDependable Cloud SystemsSensor networksIndustrial 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 (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.
