The First International Workshop on Service and Cloud Based Data Integration (SCDI 2012)
Co-located with the 16th IEEE International EDOC Conference (EDOC 2012)
Beijing, China, 10th-11th September, 2012

About the Workshop
Integration and synthesis of heterogeneous, autonomous and distributed data sources have been an essential and hard issue in enterprise computing. It is not always feasible to achieve effective data integration around definite schemas when there are mismatches in cross-domain integration and when such issues as compatibility, scalability, timeliness, and user manipulation are concerned. Service Oriented Architecture and Cloud computing have brought light to dealing with these hard issues. Recent years have seen some important progresses and potentials. The workshop intends to bring researchers, practitioners and vendors together to discuss and share ideas and experiences. It fosters novel models, methodologies, and solution patterns that address the data integration issue and fit in the service and cloud based settings.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Service Abstraction and Virtualization for Distributed Data Integration
• Modeling and Composition of Data Services
• Scalability, Reliability and other Quality Assurance of Data Integration
• Agile and ad-hoc Integration of heterogeneous Data Sources
• Automatic Tracing and Response of Changes and Updates
• Real-time Integration and Processing of Large-scale Sensor Data
• Enterprise Mashup
• User-friendly Mashup of Distributed Data Sources
• Data Flow Modeling and Management in Cloud
• Cloud-based Architectures for Distributed Data Integration
• Applications of SOA and Cloud Infrastructure in Data Integration

Paper Submission
Prospective authors are invited to submit research or application papers. Papers must be submitted as PDF files using EasyChair at https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=scdi2012. All submissions must conform to the two-column format of IEEE Computer Society conference proceedings (http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting) and include the author's name, affiliation, and contact details.
Papers must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. Each paper will be peer-reviewed by at least two experts in the field for originality, significance, clarity, impact, and soundness. The papers accepted for the EDOC 2012 Workshops will be published after the workshop with an ISBN in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library (indexed by EI). At least one of the authors for each accepted paper must register for the main conference and present their papers at the workshop.
