The propagation of service-oriented computing increases the demand to develop and apply new techniques and
approaches to support it. For example, process mining techniques are able to extract knowledge from event logs
for discovery, conformance and enhancement of business processes. The challenge is to combine these
techniques for fostering the web services paradigm. With this regard, mining techniques can be applied to
extract information from service logs. This can provide information about service processes and executions to
support service discovery, conformance checking (i.e. deviations from service level agreements) and
enhancement (i.e. quality improvement).

The first MTSOC 2012 international workshop aims to present recent research findings on mining techniques
and the application of them in service-oriented computing. We welcome papers from both academia and
industry to present and discuss related research and experiences. Special interests are on papers addressing
service quality improvement using mining approaches.

Submission

Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished research papers written in English. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by members of the
international program committee. Paper acceptance will be based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of presentation. Accepted papers
will be included in the workshop proceedings, and will be published by Springer-Verlag. Full research papers should not exceed 12 pages in the Springer LNCS
style format including all text, references, appendices, and figures.

Please submit papers in PDF via Easychair.
At least one author of an accepted paper must register and participate in the workshop. Please see details at the ICSOC website.
