Introduction to the Proceedings of the Workshop on Pervasive Analytical Service Clouds for the Enterprise and Beyond (PASCEB) 2013

摘要

The First Workshop on Pervasive Analytical Service Clouds for the Enterprise and Beyond (PASCEB) 2013 was held in conjunction with the ICSOC' 13 conference in Berlin, Germany. The workshop focused on an emerging area addressing the gap of how to design socio-technical, dependable and secure cloud-service ecosystems for commercial collaboration use. To establish separation of concerns, the addressed gap has different aspects in terms of concepts, frameworks, technologies that facilitate the management and coordination of large Internet of Things (IoT), -Services (IoS) and -People (IoP) that comprise a service-ecosystem for collaborating towards a common goal for which we envision a lifecycle. Integral is the analysis of large volumes of heterogeneous, high-speed data sets, i.e., big data. With the latter, the quality of socio-technical collaboration can evolve in a better way. The PASCEB 2013 keynote of Prof. Schahram Dustar from the Distributed Systems Group of TU-Vienna focused on elasticity in cloud-ecosystems from a socio-technical perspective that examined how to integrate people, software services, and things into one composite system, which can be modelled, programmed, and deployed on a large scale in an elastic way. Furthermore, the thirteen full PASCEB-workshop papers were selected after a thorough peer-review by the Workshop Program Committee Members and fell into four categories of related topics. Following is a brief overview of the contributions.
