CFP: IEEE APSCC Workshop on Semantics, Services and Applications (SSA 2011) - due Aug 8

**** CALL FOR PAPERS ****

IEEE APSCC Workshop on Semantics, Services and Applications (SSA 2011)
December 12-15, 2011 Jeju, Korea

http://datam.i2r.a-star.edu.sg/ssa11/

Aim and Scope

Service-oriented computing promises a paradigm where application components=
 can be assembled into a network of services that can be loosely coupled to=
 create flexible, dynamic business processes and agile applications that sp=
an organizations and computing platforms1. Semantic technologies are key en=
ablers that offer a flexible, adaptable and maintainable means to make this=
 vision come true. The synergies between the two technologies called Semant=
ic Services is poised to allow the semi-automatic/automatic discovery, sele=
ction, composition and execution of inter-organizational business logic, an=
d enable the development of a global common platform where organizations, i=
ndividuals and the like communicate among each other to carry out various c=
ommercial activities and to provide value-added services.

This workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners working on =
all aspects of semantic services, to share their experiences, exchange new =
ideas as well as to identify key emerging topics and define future directio=
ns for semantic services.

Call for Papers

Research papers are invited on all aspects of Semantic Services, including =
but not limited to the following:

* Semantic Service Matchmaking, Discovery, Selection
* Semantic Service Mediation and Brokering
* Semantic Service Composition, Orchestration, and Choreography
* Semantic Service Provisioning
* Ontology Standards, Design and Reuse
* Semantics for Service Security and Privacy
* Semantics for QoS modeling, measurement and estimation
* Semantics in Cloud services, Grid services
* Semantics in Network Services, Telecom services and other Pervasive envir=
onments
* Services for interoperability and portability across cloud platforms
* Services for sensor and social data sharing and mashups
* Issues in User Adoption
* Industrial Ecosystems
* Demos, Case Studies and Real-world Applications
* Applications to E-business, E-science, E-governance, Mobile computing, Se=
nsor networks, Web 2.0

Work-in-progress, industry applications/experiences and position papers are=
 also welcome. Please submit your paper using the SSA 2011 EasyChair site:

Manuscripts should be prepared according to the IEEE Computer Society Press=
 - Proceedings Author Guidelines. Submissions must be in English and provid=
ed as a PDF file. The length of manuscripts is limited to 6 pages. Submissi=
ons, which deviate from these guidelines, may be rejected without review.

Each manuscript will be judged on its originality, significance, technical =
quality, relevance, and presentation. Authors are required to certify that =
their paper represents original work and is previously unpublished.

Submitting a paper to SSA 2011 workshop means that if the paper is accepted=
