9th European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC 2022): Final Call for Satellite Contributions

by Announce Announcements

*** Final Call for Satellite Contributions *** 9th European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC 2022) March 22-24, 2022, Lutherstadt Wittenberg, Germany https://www.esocc-conf.eu Scope Service-oriented and cloud computing have made a huge impact both on the software industry and on the research community. Today, service and cloud technologies are applied to build large-scale software landscapes as well as to provide single software services to end users. Services today are independently developed and deployed as well as freely composed while they can be implemented in a variety of technologies, a quite important fact from a business perspective. Similarly, cloud computing aims at enabling flexibility by offering a centralised sharing of resources. The industry's need for agile and flexible software and IT systems has made cloud computing the dominating paradigm for provisioning computational resources in a scalable, on- demand fashion. Nevertheless, service developers, providers, and integrators still need to create methods, tools and techniques to support cost-effective and secure development as well as use of dependable devices, platforms, services and service- oriented applications in the cloud. The European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC) is the premier conference on advances in the state of the art and practice of service- oriented computing and cloud computing in Europe. The main objectives of this conference are to facilitate the exchange between researchers and practitioners in the areas of service-oriented computing and cloud computing, as well as to explore the new trends in those areas and foster future collaborations in Europe and beyond.

At the core, the adjective smart comprises terms like intelligent, purpose oriented, supportive, artful, clever and the like. Thus, smart does not necessarily include the usage of technology (neither does it exclude technology!). The COVID-19 pandemic has been extremely challenging to address several research contexts, suddenly the two dimensions that characterises the smart learning ecosystems – physical and virtual – started to be perceived somewhat as antithetical and it came out that the e-maturity of a learning ecosystem is not sufficient to explain and predict its transformation. Many factors concur – processual, social, individual – to determine the technological evolution of learning ecosystems and their smartness. For sure the pandemic has generated a higher awareness about the intrinsic nature of the smart learning ecosystems and it is likely that they will no longer be the same after the pandemic. Papers that report on work that nurtures a post-pandemic view and strategy for a better learning world are specially welcome. This special issue is supported by the Association for Smart Learning Ecosystems and Regional Development (ASLERD) and welcome the submission of substantially extended version of the papers presented at SLERD 2021. ----------------------------------------------------------- *Topics of Interest* ----------------------------------------------------------- Topics of interests can be grouped under three big themes: places for smart education, people in place centered design for smart education, supportive learning technologies and tools for smart education. All of which, can also include studies that nurtures a post-pandemic view and strategy for a better learning world. *Places for smart education* future of institutional learning interplay between formal and informal learning new educational models and settings continuity-discontinuity of time, technology, place/space, process in learning role of and case studies of games and gamification in smart education dual education and other alternate scheme approaches monitoring and benchmarking of smartness (individual, institution, city, region) *People in place centered design for smart education* general frameworks and methodological advancement design, data and other relevant literacies literacies, skill and competences of smart citizens communities and co-design in smart learning sharing & participatory practices open access to any resource and disparity cultural influences *Supportive technologies and tools for smart education* intelligent tutoring systems and interfaces semantic web technologies and applications text/opinion mining and sentiment analysis real/virtual communities and social network analysis interoperability and application of open/smart data and services safety & security in education IoT, ubiquitous and wearable technologies adaptability to educational contexts and citizens role of VR in education =========================================== /*Submission guidelines and procedure*/ ---------------------------------------------------------- All submissions (abstracts and later final manuscripts) must be original and may not be under review by another publication. The manuscripts should be submitted either in .doc or in .rtf format. All papers will be blindly peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers.
