1st International Workshop on
Recent Trends in SOA Based Information Systems
(RTSOABIS’10)
June 8 –12, 2010

========================================================

in conjunction with the 12th International Conference
on Enterprise Information Systems
(http:// www.iceis.org/)
Funchal, Madeira, Portugal



The “Recent Trends in SOA Based Information Systems “(RTSOABIS’10)
is a new Workshop joint to ICEIS 2010. Service Oriented Architecture is
an architectural approach to designing, building, and deploying information
systems such that the system is created from simpler manageable building
blocks, offering “services.” Each service implements a discrete piece of
business functionality. These services can then be mixed and matched to
create entirely new applications or to deliver new business capabilities.
As a concept, SOA is not new. It is a product of the evolution of IT
architecture and distributed computing concepts. However, it has only become
a reality over the last few years because of the emergence of standards and
maturation of supporting technology. The Internet has played a significant
role in the evolution of these standards, allowing (Web) services to
interoperate globally within and across the boundaries of large and small
organizations. Without standards, it would be difficult for services to
communicate and interact with each other. Consequently, the aforementioned
sharing, reuse and combination of services to create business processes on
an as-needed basis would not be possible.
At its core, service orientation is about aligning technology to efficiently
and flexibly support the process and performance needs of the business.
It means a technology capability that:
• Meets the process and performance needs of the business
• Adapts quickly to changing business needs
• Can incorporate new technologies to deliver new business capability
Under conventional approaches to building IT systems, an application typically
supports a pre-defined set of business requirements (such as sales orders or
accounting). Whenever a new business need arises, organizations build or install
new applications. This is highly inefficient especially when the different
applications perform similar tasks and share the same data. Hence, SOA provides
both IT flexibility and business agility.
SOA is an industrial reality with projects and commercial offers. Moreover, related
advanced topics are numerous as : Cloud Computing, Grid, Green IT, Software as a
Service, Aspect Based Services, service based Multi Agent Systems ...
This first workshop on Recent Trends in SOA Based Information Systems provides
a forum for researchers and practitioners to present results, applications, and
experiences in software based on SOA and Web services. The organizing committee
welcomes high quality contributions that describe original and unpublished works
in the field of services-based application engineering in terms of design, development,
testing, and deployment, Enterprise Service Bus ...


===============================================================

The workshop welcomes three types of submissions:

1. Full papers describing novel ideas on recent trends in aspects based
applications at practical or theoretical levels. The maximum length of a full
paper is 10 pages.
2. Position papers describing work in progress or an author’s position
regarding the recent practice of software engineering for aspects based
applications and/or its future trends. The maximum length of a position paper is 4 pages.
3. Demo papers describing practical context-aware application/prototype.
The maximum length of a demo paper is 4 pages. It is expected that the authors
of the paper will showcase their application in public.
Instructions for preparing manuscripts (in Word and Latex format) are available at the ICSOFT web site. Papers should be submitted through the online submission system.
All papers will undergo a double-blind review and be selected on the basis of relevance, clarity and technical quality. At least one author should attend the workshop to present the paper.
All accepted papers will be published, under an ISBN reference, by INSTICC Press in the workshop proceedings. The workshop proceedings will be distributed to the participants in printed form at the registration desk.
Publication of a selection of the workshop's best papers in a special issue of an international journal is under investigation.
