What are the issues?
- Increased need of availability and security features
in systems
- Information and Communication Standards
evolution
- Evolving network and software
architectures
- Open standards for HA service development
(composition)
Who should attend?
The objective of this Symposium is to bring together researchers and
practitioners from different "service" related areas within both
industry and academia. We specially encourage original papers addressing
problems of service availability at all layers, including experience
on:
- Service Implementations: What services are under
development and how can their availability requirements be addressed by
standards,such as those specified by the SA Forum?
- Service Deployment and Operation: What are the
critical issues in the roll-out of services and what is important for
the uninterrupted deployment of service updates?
- Information and Communication Infrastructure: What is
the state of the art in dependable infrastructure and what standards
are available for use? What products are on the market or under
development based on those standards?
What topics should be discussed at the conference?
All areas of service oriented computing are solicited, including but
not limited to:
- Availability standards for service implementation, certification,
support
- Availability issues in open service platforms
- Composition - specification, coordination, conformance, monitoring,
QoS
- Service infrastructures - hardware, software, middleware,
networks
- Service development, analysis, testing - models, environments,
tools
- Service requirement - availability, deployment, upgrades
- Service management - certification, rating, service agreements,
support
- Interfaces for service implementers - usability, security and
availability
- Java programming environments and application server
availability
- Service Oriented Architectures: dependability benefits and open
problems
- Modeling, measuring and implementing dependability and security of
integrated information and communication services
- How network mechanisms support dependability of ICT
services
- User aspects of service availability - dependability,
performance, security
Manuscripts should be submitted (and clearly
indicated) as either Regular Papers or Practical Experience Reports.
Regular Papers should describe original, unpublished work on current
research and novel ideas. Practical Experience Reports should describe
an experience or a case study. Submissions whose contributions are
supported by experimental evaluations are strongly
encouraged.
The title page should include the title of the paper,
author name(s), affiliations, mailing address, e-mail address, a maximum
of 150-word abstract, five keywords and the submission category. The
format of submissions for review should be single-column, 11-point font
size and double-spaced: Not more than 20 pages for Regular Papers and
not more than 12 pages for Practical Experience Reports including
figures, tables and references. All papers should be submitted to the
conference web sites: www.saforum.org/ISAS2006
or www.cs.helsinki.fi/events/isas2006/.
Contributions and publications
Accepted papers and abstracts will be published in the Symposium
Proceedings in a special volume of Springer’s Lecture Notes in
Computer Science series.
The deadline for paper submissions is January 9, 2006.
