Introduction to the Proceedings of the Workshop on Intelligent Service Clouds (ISC) 2014

摘要

The First Workshop on Intelligent Service Clouds (ISC) 2014 was held in conjunction with the ICSOC 2014 conference in Paris, France. The workshop followed the increasing interest in big data, cloud, analytics services and rich combinations with human driven services. The goal of the workshop was to provide a platform for exploring this exciting landscape and new challenges in the context of intelligent service clouds. It aimed at bringing together researchers from various communities interested in the challenges. We solicited contributions that study fundamental as well as practical aspects. At the fundamental, solution side we sought approaches that study adequate service models addressing above characteristics, mechanism for specification, discovery, composition, delivery and scaling of intelligent cloud services, data, computational, security and privacy aspects of analytics services, and cloud environments for analytics services, and address specific technical intelligent service-oriented cloud solutions, e.g., analytics; mining, visualization; self-management; security; trust mechanisms; collaboration mechanisms. At the practical problem side, we were interested in case studies in which intelligent service-oriented cloud computing technologies are applied in socio-technical systems/processes like smart logistics, smart manufacturing, healthcare, commerce, public administration, etc. The ISC 2014 workshop was a direct successor of the successful, full day first Workshop on Pervasive Analytical Service Clouds for the Enterprise and Beyond which we organized in conjunction with ICSOC 2013.
