>> DEADLINE EXTENSION RESEARCH & INDUSTRIAL PAPERS: WEDNESDAY, MAY 1 2013
>> 
>> ABOUT ESOCC
>> 
>> The “European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing” 
>> (ESOCC) is the premier conference on the advances in the state of the 
>> art and practice of Service-Oriented Computing and Cloud Computing in 
>> Europe. ESOCC has evolved from the ECOWS (European Conference on Web 
>> Services) conference series, after the Steering Committee decided to 
>> renew and broaden its scope, and to start a new conference series on 
>> advanced topics of service-oriented and cloud computing. The first 
>> edition of the new series, ESSOC 2012, was successfully held in 
>> Bertinoro, Italy, and will be continued by ESOCC 2013 in Malaga, Spain. 
>> The main objectives of this conference are to facilitate the exchange 
>> between researchers and practitioners in the areas of SOC and Cloud 
>> Computing and to foster future collaborations in Europe and beyond. 
>> ESOCC 2013 will include invited talks, presentations of selected 
>> research papers and an industrial track with the participation of top 
>> researchers from industry. ESOCC 2013 will also include a PhD 
>> symposium and a series of satellite workshops. 
>> 
>> BACKGROUND
>> 
>> The continued success of service-oriented distributed applications has 
>> shown that tightly coupled software systems may be useful for niche 
>> markets, whereas loosely coupled software systems have proven to be more 
>> flexible, adaptive and often more appropriate for practical applications. 
>> Loose coupling makes it easier for a given system to interact with other
>> system components − including legacy systems − that have been developed 
>> independently somewhere in a heterogeneous universe of services. Thus,
>> service-oriented applications can evolve more easily during their 
>> lifespan and adapt better to changing or even unpredictable environments. 
>> In such scenarios, cloud computing enables a new execution paradigm for 
>> distributed software application where resources can be shared, optimally 
>> realized as well as utilised and exchanged between heterogeneous execution
>> platforms and the cloud, so as to achieve fast response times and to 
>> ensure immersive and non-interrupted user experience.
>> 
>> Services today are developed independently, deployed as well as freely 
>> composed, and they can be implemented in a variety of technologies – a 
>> fact which is of particular importance from a business perspective. 
>> Similarly, cloud computing aims at enabling mobility as well as device, 
>> platform and/or service independence by offering centralized sharing of 
>> resources. It promotes interoperability, portability and security
>> standards, 
>> and raises a completely new set of security issues. On the implementation 
>> side, essential agreement has been reached on integration technologies and
>> consensus has emerged in today's middleware market. Customers use web 
>> technologies extensively; however, service developers, providers, and 
>> integrators need to create methods, tools and techniques to support 
>> cost-effective and secure development and use of dependable devices, 
>> platforms, services and service-oriented applications in the cloud. 
>> 
>> TOPICS OF INTEREST
>> 
>> ESOCC 2013 seeks original, high quality papers related to all aspects 
>> of Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing, which constitute the main 
>> technology available to date for implementing service-oriented 
>> architectures and cloud computing. Topics of interest to the Research 
>> and Industry Tracks include, but are not limited to: 
>> 
>>  * Business Process Management and Web Services. 
>>  * Cloud Services Management and Composition using Web Services. 
>>  * Dynamic and Adaptive Web Services.

>>    Cloud Computing in Health, Commerce, Finance, Telecom, Scientific   
>>    Computing and other domains. 
>>  * Service modelling, service-oriented analysis and design. 
>>  * Formal Methods for Web Services. 
>>  * Frameworks for Building Web Service-Based Applications. 
>>  * Architectural Models for Cloud Computing.

>> 
>> ESOCC 2013 solicits both new research papers (in the main track) as well
>> as reports on practical experiences from industry (industry track).
>> However, papers on existing products or product marketing information 
>> are not within the scope of the ESOCC 2013 Industry Track.
>> 
>> CALL FOR WORKSHOPS

>> specific topics in the Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing related
>> domains. Workshop proposals must consist of the following items: 
>>  * name and acronym of the workshop,
>>  * motivation: short (up to 1 page) scientific justification of the
>>    proposed topic and scope, its significance and relevance to ESOCC,
