First IEEE Workshop on Information & Software as Services (WISS'09) (Collocated with 2008 IEEE International Conference on Data Engineering in Shanghai, China) http://www.sap.com/china/company/sapresearch/en/wiss09/index.htm Date: March 29, 2009 (Sunday) Workshop co-chairs: + Wen-Syan Li (SAP Research China) wen-syan.li@sap.com + K. Selcuk Candan (Arizona State University) candan@asu.edu %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Workshop Theme and Topics of Interest The first workshop on "Information and Software as Services" (WISS), co-located with ICDE 2009 conference, focuses on the challenges associated with the design, deployment, and management of information and software as a service. The high cost of creating and maintaining software and hardware infrastructures for delivering services to businesses has led to a notable trend toward the use of third-party service providers, which rent out network presence, computation power, and data storage space to clients with infrastructural needs. These third party service providers can act as data stores as well as entire software suites for improved availability and system scalability, reducing small & medium businesses' burden of managing complex infrastructures. This is called information/application outsourcing or software as a service (SaaS). Emergence of enabling technologies, such as J2EE, .Net, XML, virtual machines, and web services contribute to this trend. Scientific Grid computing, on-line software services and business service networks are typical examples exploiting database and software as service paradigm. While the financial incentives for the database and software as service deployments are obvious, convincing potential customers that outsourcing their data is a viable alternative to deploying complex infrastructures require research and technological advances in + Business model, pricing, regulation + Legal aspects of SaaS + Security and information assurance + SLA, QoS, and differential services + Service class guarantees + Service delivery and tracking + Database support for SaaS and multi-tenant databases + Dynamic service composition + Workflow modeling + Service deployment and provisioning + New architectural designs and middleware support + Caching and replication + Cloud computing as a service We also solicit papers describing real world applications and case studies. Publication: The workshop proceedings will be published by IEEE and included in the IEEE digital library. In addition, the authors of the selected papers will be invited to contribute with extended versions of their papers to a book published by Springer-Verlag, Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) series. Submission Guidelines and Important Dates All submitted papers will be refereed for quality and originality by the Program Committee. The acceptance/rejection of the papers will be based on these review results. Manuscripts should be in English and must not exceed 8 pages in IEEE format (templates available at http://i.cs.hku.hk/icde2009/aik.htm). Submissions should include the title, author(s), authors' affiliations, e-mail addresses, tel/fax numbers, postal address, and an abstract on the first page. An electronic version (PDF format) of the full paper should be submitted by October 31, 2008 9pm PT. via https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/WISS2009/ + Abstract due: October 24, 2008 9PM PT + Paper due: October 31, 2008 9PM PT. + Notification of acceptance: December 15, 2008 + Camera ready version due: January 9, 2009 + Workshop date: March 29, 2009 Workshop format: In addition to technical paper presentations, the workshop will feature a keynote speech and an invited talk session with three case studies followed by a brief panel discussion on these real world scenarios. + Keynote: Dr. Divyakant Agrawal (UC Santa Barbara): Title: "Database Management as a Software Service: Opportunities and Challenges" Abstract: Database Management Systems form the core of the information technology infrastructure of most modern enterprises. The talk will outline some of the key research and technical impediments before database management functionality can be offered as a "software as a service" by third-party service providers. The talk will also review current research efforts in the area of data outsourcing as well as some of the emerging solutions in the commercial arena. Biography: Dr. Divyakant Agrawal is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of California at Santa Barbara. From January 2006 through December 2007, Dr. Agrawal served as VP of Data Solutions and Advertising Systems at the Internet Search Company ASK.com. While at ASK.com, Dr. Agrawal was the Chief Architect for building the next-generation Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing system at ASK.com.
