International Workshop on Service-Oriented Architecture and Cloud Computing (SOAC-2012) 3 - 5 August 2012, Chennai, India http://www.icacci-conference.org/soac.html ------------------------------------------------------------- Cloud computing describes a broad movement toward the use of wide area networks, such as the Internet, to enable interaction between IT service providers of many types and consumers. Many organizations have already begun an IT transformation to utilize a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), a flexible, modular approach to delivering IT services. SOA is an essential foundation for emerging technologies like cloud and it also provides significant advantages over current IT architectures. The First International Workshop on Service-Oriented Architecture and Cloud Computing (SOAC-2012) intends to provide an effective forum for researchers and industry practitioners to exchange innovative ideas and state-of-the-art research, share experiences and lessons learned from academic research projects as well as real world projects. CALL FOR PAPERS --------------------------------- SOAC 2012 invites original and unpublished work from individuals active in the broad theme of the Workshop. The maximum length of the paper is 10 pages (including figures and references). The paper should not contain page numbers or any special headers or footers. All papers that conform to submission guidelines will be peer reviewed and evaluated based on originality, technical and/or research content/depth, correctness, relevance to conference, contributions, and readability. The manuscripts should be submitted in PDF format. Authors should submit their papers online at http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=11719&track;=19707. Unregistered authors should first create an account on EDAS to log on. Acceptance of papers will be communicated to authors by email. The Conference Proceedings will be published by ACM and all the accepted papers will be archived in the ACM digital library. At least one full paying author of each accepted paper must register for the Conference before the indicated deadline.
