About the workshop
Service Oriented Computing (SOC) is the new emerging cross-disciplinary paradigm for distributed computing that is changing the way software applications are designed, architected, delivered and consumed for business and enterprises. It poses a number of research challenges that are intrinsically "transversal" to more established and traditional research fields. Many research and application challenges such as the composition, discovery, monitoring of services, methodologies supporting their development, adaptation, as well as their lifecycle management, are attracting the interest of researchers and industry. The objective of the workshop is to address the current issues in service oriented computing, present the latest research and development results on SOC to broader government/industry and researcher community, and provide a forum for discussing industry needs, developed solution, benefits and future applications.
Background
SOC is a major research theme at Swinburne Centre for Information Technology Research (CITR) that boasts one of the largest concentration of R&D expertises and activities in service oriented computing in Australia. CITR carries out extensive research in close collaboration with industry and research partners nationally and internationally, supported by a wide range of research grants, strategic partnership arrangements and industrial R&D projects. The ASAPM project is one of selected projects of SOC, aiming at developing new techniques and proof-of-concept prototype for the adaptive service agreement and process management in order to ensure collective functionality, end-to-end QoS, seamless coordination and adaptive provision of complex services. The ASAPM project targets three different application areas of telecommunication services, smart information environments and multimedia services. The ASAPM project is jointly carried out by Swinburne University in partnership with Australian industry partners, DSTO, EIN and Telstra, and in collaboration with UQ and VUT, and closely collaborates with the EU ASG (Adaptive Services Grid) Consortium of 21 international research and industry partners, developing an open service-oriented development platform for adaptive services discovery, creation, composition and enactment.
