		Architecture and Cloud Computing (PROMASC'2010)
		
			== May 30th, 2010, Tozeur-Tunisia ==
	 (http://www.redcad.org/members/benhalima/promasc2010)

              In conjunction with the NOTERE'2010 Conference
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

::Important Dates::
    * Submission deadline: 07 feb 2010 (extended, was 31 Jan 2010)
    * Notification: 14 March 2010
    * Camera Ready: 28 March 2010
    * Workshop: 30 May 2010

::Overview::
As the paradigm service-oriented architecture gains more prominence in the 
development of applications, the way of management of these applications is
becoming a critical feature in order to provide a better quality of service.
Cloud Computing is a technology that provides on-demand access to massively
scalable resources in the field of Service Computing. The technical 
foundations of Cloud Computing include service-oriented architecture (SOA)
and virtualizations of hardware and software. It has emerged as a new 
paradigm for deploying, managing and offering services through a shared 
infrastructure.
Provisioning of SOA and Cloud presents a new set of emerging issues and 
challenges that are expected to be identified and resolved by the research 
community. It includes issues of the proposed approaches at several levels: 
modeling, composition, coordination, planning, scheduling, configuration, 
monitoring and analysis.
This workshop intends to provide an effective forum for researchers and 
industry practitioners to exchange innovative ideas and state-of-the-art 
research, share experiences and lessons learned from academic research 
projects as well as real world projects.

::Topics::
Our goal is to bring together researchers and practitioners to stimulate 
discussions on the features of provisioning and management of SOA and Cloud. 
We are soliciting contributions from both academia and industrials on the 
following topics (the list is not exhaustive):
    * Provisioning of SOA Virtualization
    * Management of Resources Virtualization
    * QoS Management of SOA and Cloud Computing
    * Service Level Agreement (SLA) Negotiation, Automation and Orchestration 
		for Cloud Computing
    * Provisioning and Scalability in the Cloud
    * Regulations for Cloud Architectures
    * Policy Driven Management of SOA and Cloud Computing
    * Availability, Reliability and Privacy
    * Assurance and Certification of SOA
    * Pricing of Cloud Resources

::Submission::
We encourage contributions of short papers or practical experiences (4 Pages) 
and full papers (max 6 pages) with high quality research contributions and 
experimental results. Papers should be written in English according to the IEEE
double column format.
Authors must upload their paper as PDF file using the PROMASC'2010 submission 
system hosted by Easy Chair: https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=promasc2010

::Publication::
All accepted papers will be published within the conference proceedings edited 
by IEEE.
Best workshop papers will be considered -within best NOTERE conference papers- 
for two special issues:
    * Wiley Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experiment Journal
