These two volumes constitute the proceedings of the 21st International Conference, ICSOC 2023, held Rome, Italy, during November 28–December 1, 2023. The 35 full papers and the 10 short papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 208 submissions. The volumes focus on cutting-edge topics like artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data analytics, the Internet of Things (IoT), and emerging technologies such as quantum computing, blockchain, chatbots, and sustainable green IT solutions.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference, ICSOC 2010, held in San Francisco, CA, USA, in December 2010. The 33 revised full papers and three full industry papers, presented together with 18 short papers, three PhD symposium posters and four regular posters, were carefully reviewed and selected from 238 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on Service and Business Process Modeling; Service Management; Quality of Service; Service Science and Design; Service Development and Run-time Management; High-level Description Languages; Service Level Agreements; Service Engineering Methodologies; Service Security, Privacy, and Trust; Business Service Modeling; Formal Methods; and Service Applications.
This book stems from the desire to systematize and put down on paper essential historical facts about the Web, a system that has undoubtedly changed our lives in just a few decades. But how did it manage to become such a central pillar of modern society, such an indispensable component of our economic and social interactions? How did it evolve from its roots to today? Which competitors, if any, did it have to beat out? Who are the heroes behind its success? These are the sort of questions that the book addresses. Divided into four parts, it follows and critically reflects on the Web’s historical path. “Part I: The Origins” covers the prehistory of the Web. It examines the technology th...
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the international workshops associated with the 32nd International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering, CAiSE 2020, which was planned to take place in Grenoble, France, during June 8-12, 2020. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic the conference was held virtually. The workshops included in this book are: KET4DF, The Second International Workshop on Key Enabling Technologies for Digital Factories ISESL, The First International Workshop on Information Systems Engineering for Smarter Life The total of 8 full and 3 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 20 submissions. The book also contains one invited talk.
The recent emergence and prevalence of social network applications, sensor equipped mobile devices, and the availability of large amounts of geo-referenced data have enabled the analysis of new context dimensions that involve individual, social, and urban context. Creating Personal, Social, and Urban Awareness through Pervasive Computing provides an overview of the theories, techniques, and practical applications related to the three dimensions of context awareness. Through the exploration of emerging research trends of pervasive computing, this book is beneficial to professors, students, researchers, and developers interested this latest development in the field of context-awareness and pervasive computing.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing, ICSOC 2007. The 30 revised full papers and 14 short papers are organized in topical sections on service deployment, business process design, service discovery, quality of service support, testing and validation, service assembly, service properties, service modeling, SOA composition/experience/runtime/governance and QoS and composite service support.
We are increasingly seeing computer systems which are expected to function without operator intervention. This is perhaps acceptable for running computer networks or traffic lights; however, we are now seeing computer systems deployed to qualitatively influence human judgments such as rulings on legal disputes or fitness for work to evaluate disability benefits. In keeping with the precautionary principle, it is important that those who are developing this capability — technologists and scientists — think through its potential implications.The aim of this book is to explore the technological and social and implications of computers and robots becoming increasingly ‘aware’ of their environment and the people in it, and their being increasingly ‘self-aware’ of their own existence within it.The wide-ranging scope of the text covers three different angles of the concept of ‘the computer after me’: (1) the next generation of computationally powerful aware systems; (2) systems in which the computer is aware of qualitatively impact human concerns such as law, health and rules; and (3) computers and robots which are aware of themselves.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th Symposium and Summer School, SummerSOC 2023, held in Heraklion, Crete, Greece, in June 25–July 1, 2023.
