CALL FOR DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM PAPERS ==================================================== GOALS AND TOPICS The goal of the Doctoral Consortium is to provide a setting for PhD students to present their work and receive feedback on their doctoral research plan and progress. Students will be offered the opportunity to articulate and discuss their problem statement, goals, methods, and results. The Doctoral Consortium also aims at providing students with guidance on various aspects of their research from established researchers and the other students participating in the sessions. Finally, the Doctoral Consortium seeks to motivate students in the development of their scientific curiosity and facilitate their networking within the research community. The topics of the Doctoral Consortium are the same as CHItaly’s. A particular focus will be on Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HCAI) and its applications to support humans, improve their performance as well as increase safety and trustworthiness. The main scope of the consortium is to enable PhD students to interact with their peers, as well as with more senior researchers, on a wide range of Human-Computer Interaction related topics, and related to the conference theme. The consortium is open to PhD students worldwide at any stage in their research. Students at an initial stage should be able to challenge their ideas and current research directions. Students at a more mature stage should be able to present their thesis and get advice on ways to further improve and better communicate their contributions and findings. Participation is particularly encouraged from PhD students who are close to proposing a thesis. Students will be connected with a mentor that will provide more specific feedback on their research. ==================================================== PAPER FORMAT AND PROCEEDINGS Submitted papers must be in English and single-author, but the name of the supervisor could be mentioned within the paper. Papers must be 5-page long using the 1-column CEUR template (http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip). An Overleaf page for LaTeX users (https://www.overleaf.com/read/gwhxnqcghhdt) is also available.

10th European Conference On Service-Oriented And Cloud Computing (ESOCC 2023): Fifth Call for Submissions

by georgeangelos60＠gmail.com

*** Fifth Call for Submissions *** 10th European Conference On Service-Oriented And Cloud Computing (ESOCC 2023) October 24-26, 2023, Golden Bay Beach Hotel, Larnaca, Cyprus https://cyprusconferences.org/esocc2023/ (Proceedings to be published in Springer LNCS; Journal Special Issue with Springer Computing) AIM AND SCOPE Nowadays, Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing are the primary approaches to build large-scale distributed systems and deliver software services to end users. Cloud-native software is pervading the delivery of enterprise applications, as they are composed of (micro)services that can be independently developed and deployed by exploiting multiple heterogeneous technologies. Resulting applications are polyglot service compositions that can then be shipped in serverful or serverless platforms (e.g., using virtualization technologies). These characteristics make Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing the natural answers for fulfilling the industry’s need for flexibly scalable and maintainable enterprise applications, to be delivered through state-of-the-art methodologies, like DevOps. To further support this, researchers and practitioners need to create methods, tools and techniques to support cost-effective and secure development as well as use of dependable devices, platforms, services and service-oriented applications in the Cloud, now also considering the Cloud-IoT computing continuum to exploit widespread adoption of smart connected things and the increasing growth of their computing capabilities. The European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC) is the premier conference on advances in the state-of-the-art and practice of Service-Oriented Computing and Cloud Computing in Europe.
