Dear colleagues: Please consider submitting to this workshop. Our scope is intended to be broad, so anything in the area of performance and services would be welcome. ---------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on Service-Oriented Computing Performance: Aspects, Issues, and Approaches http://www.cs.binghamton.edu/~kchiu/socp07/ Monterey Bay, California June 26, 2007 In conjunction with HPDC 2007 http://www.isi.edu/hpdc2007/ Service-oriented computing (SOC) is an emerging paradigm that is changing the way systems are designed, architected, deployed, and used. SOC decomposes computation into a set of loosely-coupled, abstract services, and emphasizes document-centric interactions through the exchange of messages. Services can be composed, nested, and orchestrated into a variety of control patterns and workflows. SOC has seen adoption in areas such scientific computing, Grid computing, and business computing, and can facilitate wide-scale application integration within and across organizational boundaries. SOC's loosely-coupled, document-centricity, and high degrees of encapsulation and self-description challenge performance in a number of aspects. New techniques of performance analysis, modeling, and prediction can address some of these challenges, but further research is still needed. Different programming paradigms, design methodologies, or programming language principles also may reduce or eliminate some of the abstraction, encapsulation, and composition costs of SOC. Multicore chips and cluster-wide parallelism also offer interesting avenues for improving and investigating SOC performance. Advanced processing techniques or encodings for languages such as XML also may play a role. We invite innovative papers on any aspect of performance and SOC from all communities, such as the WWW community, the programming languages community, and the Grid community. We welcome different types of papers, including experimental, works-in-progress, and position papers. By bringing together different communities, perspectives, and approaches, this workshop will seek to focus and clarify the state-of-the-art, leading to cross-fertilization. Topics include, but are not limited to: * Distributed, multicore, and parallel processing and protocols (execution models, architectures, properties, performance evaluation) * Alternative XML representations and encodings, such as "binary" XML * Code generation, incremental, lazy, and streaming techniques for improving the performance of SOC at all levels of the services stack * Programming language and compiler techniques such type-based optimizations, static analysis, and transformations * Hardware acceleration techniques for SOC such as reconfigurable computing and hybrid computing * Reducing encapsulation, abstraction, orchestration, and composition costs of SOC * Performance analysis, modeling, and prediction as it relates to SOC * Security and performance Paper Submission ---------------- Papers of up to 8 pages should be submitted electronically at https://ssl.linklings.net/conferences/hpdc/, and should use IEEE 8 1/2 x 11 CS format. Appropriate style files can be found in ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/IEEE_CS_Latex.zip. Proceedings will be published by the IEEE CS Press, USA and will be made available online through the IEEE Digital Library. A journal special issue is also being planned, and details will be announced shortly.
