CALL FOR PAPERS4th Workshop on Modeling, Design, and Analysis for the Service Cloud(MDA4ServiceCloud2010) in conjunction with 6th European Conference on Modelling Foundations and Applications (ECMFA 2010) Paris, France June 15, 2010 http://events.sti2.at/mda4ServiceCloud2010 Deadline for submissions: April 6, 2010A new paradigm - service-orientation - is currently emerging for distributed computing and e-business processing. This new paradigm utilizes services as fundamental elements for developing applications/solutions; services will be important for customers and not the specific software or hardware component that is used to implement the services. In this context, services become the next level of abstraction in the process of creating systems that would enable automation of e-businesses. This paradigm shift is changing the way the computer software is developed and used (designed, architected, delivered, consumed, and analysed), and this way of reorganizing software applications into a set of interacting services is usually referred to as Service-oriented Architectures (SOA). The underlying infrastructure that allows such efficient service provisioning is referred to as the Service Cloud. Cloud services are accessed over the Internet via user-friendly web interfaces, are location agnostic, can be hosted through third party service providers and can be quick to improve based on real-time customer feedback. In this context, this workshop aims to tackle the research problems using a Model Driven Engineering approach (as well as practical experiences) around methods, concepts, models, languages and technology that enable computing in the service cloud. TOPICS OF INTEREST * the relationship between SOA, Grid, Cloud computing and the service cloud * case studies for the service cloud analysis methodologies for service-oriented systems in the service cloud * migration of legacy applications to SOA and the service cloud * languages for service-oriented systems in the service cloud * modeling and simulation of the service cloud verification, validation, and evaluation of the service cloud * MDA (OMG Model Driven Architecture) for service-oriented systems in the service cloud * patterns in modelling, design, and analysis for service-oriented systems * best practices and guidelines for developing the service cloud * semantic aspects and ontologies for the service cloud * quality of services (QoS) analysis and modelling in the service cloud * services level agreements (SLAs) modelling and negotiation in the service cloud * analysis and modelling of security, privacy, and trust in the service cloud * policy-based service-oriented systems in the service cloud * methods for migrating legacy systems to the service cloud * service lifecycle management and infrastructure lifecycle managing for the service cloud * service discovery, composition, execution, monitoring, and mediation in service-oriented environments * adaptability and recovery strategies in the service cloud * models for governance in the service cloud * standards for modeling, specification, design and analysis of the service cloud * tools, environments and factories for modelling, design and analysis of service-oriented systems in the service cloud |
