CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS ROSOC-M 2009 in Taipei, Taiwan
Submission deadline Extended: February 8, 2009

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Workshop on the Role of Services, Ontologies, and Context in Mobile Environments
(RoSOC-M'09)
http://events.sti2.at/RoSOC-M/ <https://webmail.aud.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://events.sti2.at/RoSOC-M/>
May 19, 2009
in conjunction with the 10th International Conference on Mobile Data Management
(MDM'09)
http://adslab.cs.nctu.edu.tw/mdm2009/ <https://webmail.aud.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://adslab.cs.nctu.edu.tw/mdm2009/>
May 18-21, 2009, Taipei, Taiwan
--------------------------------------------------------

THEME OF THE WORKSHOP
The theme of the workshop is the intersection of three major trends in today's
computing:
    * mobile computing becomes more and more important. Mobile portable
      devices have outnumbered already traditional desktop computers and
      will mould the view of computers future generations will have.
    * service-oriented computing is viewed by many analysts as the computing
      paradigm of the near future. It allows for the dynamic integration of
      functionality provided by different parties.
    * research on ontologies, in particular in connection with work on the
      semantic web and semantic web services allows for machine understandable
      description of functionality and for automatic interaction of devices without
      the need for human involvement.

TOPICS
The following indicates the general focus of the workshop. However, related
contributions are welcome as well.
- service-oriented architectures for mobile internet services
- languages and methodologies for describing mobile Service-oriented systems
- discovery and matchmaking of ontology based services in the context of mobile service-oriented architectures
- adaptive selection of services in mobile service-oriented architectures
- ontology management in mobile environments
- contracting and negotiation with ontology-based mobile services (service
level agreements)
- approaches to composition of ontology based services in the context of mobile
service-oriented systems
- invocation, adaptive execution, monitoring, and management of mobile services
- interaction protocols and conversation models for mobile services-oriented
architectures
- ontology-based security and privacy issues in mobile service-oriented systems
- applications of mobile service-oriented architectures
- analysis and design approaches for mobile service-oriented architectures and
services
- reasoning with mobile services
- ontology-based policies for mobile service-oriented architectures
- tools for discovery, matchmaking, selection, mediation, composition,
management, and monitoring of services in a mobile world in particular tools
that take context into account
- mobile service development
- acquiring and disseminating context information from physical and logical
sensors
- semantic sensor networks
- exploiting new types of context information such as network context, social
context, and system context, and enabling infrastructures to support management
of context information and semantics in mobile environments
- community-based semantics in mobile environments
- activity-based computing and its relation to context-aware mobile computing
- context-aware mobile database transactions and query processing
- semantic indexing, caching, and replication techniques for mobile
environments
- context-adaptive applications and algorithms
- case studies

WORKSHOP FORMAT AND ATTENDANCE
The program will occupy a full day, and will include presentations of
papers selected from the full papers category (see 'submissions' below).
Please note that at least one author of each accepted submission must
attend the workshop. The MDM 2009 conference formalities are applied
for fees and respective organizational aspects. Submission of a paper
is not required for attendance at the workshop. However, in the event
that the workshop cannot accommodate all who would like to participate,
those who have submitted a paper (in any category) will be given
priority for registration.

SUBMISSIONS
Two categories of submissions are solicited:
(1) Full papers (up to 6 pages).
(2) Position papers (up to 3 pages).
All submissions should be formatted in the IEEE style. Formatting
instructions and LaTeX macros are available on the IEEE computer society
site:
LaTex macros:
    * ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/IEEE_CS_Latex.zip
Formatting instructions:
    * ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/instruct.doc
    * ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/instruct.pdf
    * ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/instruct.ps

All the papers should be submitted in electronic format (pdf version)
using the link: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rosocm08 <https://webmail.aud.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rosocm08> .
All accepted full papers as well as all short/position papers of attendees
will be archieved in IEEE Xplore and IEEE Computer Society (CSDL) digital libraries.
