The aim of Service-Oriented Computing & Applications is to publish original and high quality research results on the service-oriented computing (SOC) paradigm, models and technologies that have significant contributions to the advancement of service oriented systems and their applications. Service-oriented computing has emerged as a major research topic in the past few years. Although the concept has evolved from earlier component-based software frameworks, web service standards are based on the readily and openly available internet protocols, and thus are easier and cheaper for companies to adopt. The strong support from major computer and IT service companies further speeds up the acceptance and adoption of SOC. However, service developers and users face many significant challenges and opportunities that are introduced by the dynamism of software service environments and requirements. This requires new concepts, methods, models, and technologies along with flexible and adaptive infrastructure for services developments and management in order to facilitate the on-demand integration and formation of services across different platforms and organizations. The success of service-oriented systems relies on the adoption of the derived technologies to meet the demands from the evolving environment. The journal focuses on the issues and research results related to the development of service-oriented technology, including service infrastructures, theoretical foundations and their applications and experiences in service-oriented computing. Topics covered by the journal include, but are not limited to, the following subjects as they relate to service-oriented computing and applications: Service-Oriented Architecture Services analysis, design, development and test Service orchestration and composition <, /LI> Resource management for web services Quality and reliability of web services Service-Oriented Software Engineering Formal methods for services analysis, design, development, and test Service requirement engineering SOA solution patterns Services matching and policy Verification and validation of SOA systems Quality and reliability of web services System Technology Security, trust and privacy QoS and end-to-end performance Web service standards Autonomic computing IP and digital right management Brokering and integration Service connection technology Grid-based web services Business Services and Technology Business service representation and knowledge Business process integration and management Supply chain and channel management Auction Negotiation E-business standards Service-Oriented Semantic Computing Semantic web Software agent Service discovery Ontological engineering Service evolutionary approaches Service-Oriented Applications E-business and e-commerce M-commerce E-entertainment E-learning E-government E-health

Surveys in Operations Research and Management Science is published twice a year in journal format, following on from the renowned Handbooks in Operations Research and Management Science series.The journal provides state-of-the-art surveys in operations research and management science. These surveys enable educators, researchers and students to obtain an overview of subjects of current interest as well as important recent developments in established areas.What makes a good survey?The following is a list of characteristics we feel that an ideal SORMSsubmission should satisfy.1. Choice of topic:A survey topic can be both on theory and applications of OR/MS and can be of several types. For example, a survey can focus on• Results that are considered standards by experts in the community but which not have been documented in textbooks. • Standard results which have been, in some way, streamlined; for example new proof techniques leading to more elegant derivations of known results. • New developments in methodology or new application areas (hot topics).Accepted SORMS submissions should be of significant interest to the OR/MS community. The associated literature should be of sufficient significance and, from an OR perspective, originality to warrant a survey in our journal. In particular, a topic should be sufficiently broad. Surveys focusing on the work of a single author or single group of authors may be possible, but will be considered with extra care.2. Choice of audience and writing: The readership of SORMS will be broad, ranging from graduate students to senior researchers, and from OR/MS professionals to applied mathematicians. An ideal SORMS survey should be appealing to a wide enough subset of this audience.A survey paper is not written in the same way as a research paper. Technical details that are not crucial should be addressed on a sufficiently high level, readers interested in these can be referred to particular papers. Examples of good survey papers can be found in the Handbook series. Other relevant guidelines are:• A good survey does not only focus on the work of the author but provides an appropriate broader context. • It takes more effort to write a short survey than a long survey. • A good survey should have intrinsic added value, in the sense that the sum should be stronger than its parts. For example, it may provide new structure, point out connections not noticed before, or a new context for old results. • It helps if a survey is written by an expert that masters the subject enough to provide newcomers a well guided tour through a new area.
Sustainable computing is a rapidly expanding research area spanning the fields of computer science and engineering, electrical engineering as well as other engineering disciplines. The aim of Sustainable Computing: Informatics and Systems (SUSCOM) is to publish the myriad research findings related to energy-aware and thermal-aware management of computing resource. Equally important is a spectrum of related research issues such as applications of computing that can have ecological and societal impacts. SUSCOM publishes original and timely research papers and survey articles in current areas of power, energy, temperature, and environment related research areas of current importance to readers. SUSCOM has an editorial board comprising prominent researchers from around the world and selects competitively evaluated peer-reviewed papers.Making computing sustainable - Software systems perspective:• Power-aware software• Code profiling and transformation for power management• Power-aware middleware• Multimedia systems• Scheduling and allocationComputing for sustainability - Use of computing to make the world a sustainable place:• Use of sensors for environmental monitoring• Smart control for eco-friendly buildings• Green Data Centers and Enterprise ComputingRe-inventing algorithms and applications for sustainability:• Theoretical aspect of energy, power, and temperature• Power-aware applications• Resource management to optimize performance and power• Power implications for portable and mobile computing• Algorithms for reduced power, energy and heat for high-performance computingModeling and evaluation of sustainable systems:• Reliability of Power-aware computers• Runtime systems that assist in power saving• Models for collective optimization of power and performance• Monitoring tools for power and performance of parallel and distributed systemsSustainable hardware platforms and devices - Hardware and architecture perspective:• Power aware networking• Real-time systems• Power-efficient architectures• Efficient circuit design for energy harvesting• Power management in memory, disk, storage and other peripheral devices• Configurable and renewable energy• Low power electronics• Embedded systems, ASICs and FPGSs• Power leakage and dissipationPlease submit your article via http://ees.elsevier.com/suscom/
