WODSOG-2006 Call for Papers

In recent years, service-oriented computing (SOC) has emerged as an increasingly popular method of dealing with both the increased complexity of modern computing systems and also the increasing need to integrate such systems with other existing systems. This popularity has been further enhanced by the maturing set of service-oriented middleware developed by both the Web Services and Grid Computing communities, as well as the development of many service-oriented specifications.

As increasing numbers of service-oriented systems are constructed and used in business, commerce, and science, it is vital that new methods for increasing system dependability are found for this domain.

The inaugural Workshop On Dependability in Service-Oriented Grids aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in the areas of dependability, Grid computing and Web Services for discussion on new ideas, techniques, and implementations for dependability in the service-oriented paradigm.

We welcome original research papers as well as papers that deal with design, development and experimental results of dependable service-oriented systems.

Topics of Interest
The major areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following topics:

• Fault and intrusion-tolerant architectures, middleware and operational models for SOC
• Vulnerabilities, attacks and countermeasures in service-oriented systems
• Service-oriented monitoring and evaluation techniques
• Formal representation and verification of dependable properties in SOC
• Quality of service provision in SOC
• Service-level agreements in SOC
• Models, metrics, and measurements in SOC
• Dependability evaluation in SOC

Submission Guidelines
All submissions must be written in English using at least 11-point size and may not exceed 5 single-spaced pages in length. Each paper should include a cover page, the title, the authors and their affiliations, the contact author and his/her email address, an abstract and a list of keywords.

Papers should be submitted electronically, in PDF format, to wodsog@comp.leeds.ac.uk. All submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee. It is required that at least one author of an accepted contribution will attend the workshop in order to present the work.

A compilation of contributions will be distributed as preprint at the SRDS conference. The final compilation of contributions will be distributed after the event.

Submission deadline:	July 30 , 2006
Author notification:	September 8, 2006
Camera-ready copies of accepted papers:	September 27 , 2006
