Call for Tutorial Proposals

2009 IEEE Asia-Pacific Services Computing Conference
(IEEE APSCC 2009)

December 7th - 11th, 2009;   Biopolis, Singapore

http://apscc09.i2r.a-star.edu.sg/


*** Submission Deadline: June 29, 2009 (23:59 GMT)

===================================================================


Services Computing is a new cross-discipline that covers the science and
technology needed to bridge the gap between business services and
IT/telecommunication services. The goal of services computing is to
develop new computing technology and thereby enable more advanced
IT/telecommunication services to support business services more
efficiently and effectively. IEEE APSCC 2009 is an important forum for
researchers and industry practitioners to exchange information regarding
advancements in the state of art and practice of
IT/telecommunication-driven business services and application services,
as well as to identify emerging research topics and define the future
directions of Services Computing.

We solicit proposals for tutorials for presentation at the IEEE APSCC
2009 conference. Proposals must provide an in-depth survey of the chosen
topic with the option of describing a particular piece of work in
detail. A meaningful summary of open issues in the topic is highly
recommended. The main research topics of the IEEE APSCC 2009 conference
include, but are not limited to:

    * Business Process Integration and Management;
    * Cloud/Utility/Web Computing;
    * Foundations of Services Computing;
    * Mobile/Ubiquitous/Pervasive Computing;
    * Service-centric Computing Models; and
    * Telecommunication Services.

Proposals must be no more than five (5) pages, using an 11 pt or larger
font for the body of the text of the proposal, and must include enough
details to provide a sense of both the scope of material to be covered
and the depth to which it will be covered. Tutorial proposals should
include the following elements:

    * Title of the tutorial;
    * Tutorial Length (typically 3 or 5 hours);
    * A description of the tutorial topic(s);
    * Organization of the tutorial;
    * A description of how the tutorial will contribute to the field of
services computing;
    * Intended audience and any prerequisite knowledge for attendees; and
    * Details about the speaker(s) including full name, affiliation,
mailing address, e-mail address, and a short biography.


Please submit proposals by E-mail (in PDF format) to Brahim Medjahed
(brahim at umd.umich.edu) AND Qin Zheng (qinz at ihpc.a-star.edu.sg) by June
29, 2009 (23:59 GMT).
