ICSOC, the International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing, is the premier international forum for academics, industry researchers, developers, and practitioners to report and share groundbreaking work in service-oriented computing. ICSOC fosters cross-community scientific excellence by gathering experts from various disciplines, such as services science, data science, management science, business-process management, distributed systems, wireless and mobile computing, cloud and edge computing, cyber-physical systems, Internet-of-Things (IoT), scientific workflows, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and services and software engineering.
ICSOC provides a high-quality forum for presenting results and discussing ideas that further our knowledge and understanding of the various aspects (e.g. application and system aspects) related to Service Computing with particular focus on artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data analytics, IoT, and emerging technologies including quantum computing.
The 21st edition of the ICSOC conference series will be hosted by Dipartimento di Ingegneria Informatica, Automatica e Gestionale Antonio Ruberti at Sapienza Università di Roma, Rome, Italy, from the 28th of November to the 1st of December, 2023.

ICSOC 2023, the 21st event in this series, will take place in Rome, Italy from November 28 – December 1, 2023. Following on the ICSOC tradition, it will feature visionary keynote presentations, research and industry presentations, a vision track, workshops, tutorials, and a PhD track. We invite interested researchers, students, practitioners, and professionals to submit their original research contributions to ICSOC 2023.
ICSOC is the premier international forum for presenting the most recent and significant research contributions in service-oriented computing. These include, but are not limited to:
In addition to the traditional topics, which include theoretical and empirical evaluations, as well as practical and industrial experiences, with emphasis on results that solve open research problems and have significant impact on the field of digital services and service-oriented computing, ICSOC welcome specific new 4 areas, which are presented below.
Machine learning allows computers to process large amounts of data automatically or at least, partially automatically to gain an understanding of that input, as well as acquire about using the input. It generally follows a “learn by doing” process to achieve artificial intelligence (AI) and enables computers to learn and act without being explicitly programmed. Machine learning and artificial intelligence have grown into a driving force for increasing smartness, operation efficiency, and decision-making in various applications. In many cases, machine learning itself can be considered as a service for public benefits.
Topics that are part of this focus area, as they relate to service-oriented computing, may include but are not limited to:
The proliferation of the Internet, edge computing, and ubiquitous computing devices have made available massive data that support gaining high-level knowledge of services, applications, and domains. Big data analysis is trending as the methodology and tools for knowledge mining from high-volume datasets (e.g., processes, transactions, web/event logs, and users’ activity histories) that are too large or complex to be dealt with by traditional data-processing application software. It is a cornerstone for the forthcoming era of AI and the relevant revolutions such as Industry 4.0.
Topics that are part of this focus area, as they relate to service-oriented computing, may include but are not limited to:
The Internet of Things (IoT) aims at turning every physical object into a “thing” on the Internet. It is made up of billions of “things” connected with each other: simple sensors, cameras, wearables, appliances, traffic lights, cars, and so on. The IoT involves harnessing the data and functionalities provided by “things” to enable novel smart services that benefit enterprises, industries, and society.
Topics that are part of this focus area, as they relate to service-oriented computing, may include but are not limited to:
Emerging technologies bring new possibilities for more effective and efficient processing and integration of data and services. Thus, for example, we are living in the “quantum decade” in which quantum computers (whether annealers or gate-based) are starting to be used to solve previously unimaginable problems. Another example is the emergence of a new generation of chatbots and virtual assistants supported by the recent advances in natural language processing. All this offers new challenges and challenges that impact on the architecture, design and deployment of service systems. These and other emerging technologies, whether used individually or together, can have a major impact on the security, sustainability, connectivity, etc. of service-oriented computing.
Topics that are part of this focus area, as they relate to service-oriented computing, may include but are not limited to:
The conference solicits outstanding original research and practice papers on all aspects of service-oriented computing. Papers should clearly demonstrate the research or practical contribution, the relevance to the field, and the relationship to prior work. Submitted papers will be evaluated according to their rigor, significance, originality, technical quality, and exposition. All papers will be reviewed by at least three members of the Program Committee.
Papers should be formatted according to Springer’s LNCS Formatting Guidelines Submissions must be in English and must not exceed 15 pages. All papers must be submitted electronically to the Conference Submission System. Each paper must be submitted on or before the provided deadlines. Authors are kindly invited to respect the abstract submission deadline, set one week before the paper submission. The limit length of accepted papers should be 15 pages (including abstract, figures and references). The final submission should be formatted according to Springer’s LNCS Camera ready instructions.
For each accepted paper, at least one author must attend the conference and present the paper. The deadline for identifying and registering this individual author will be at the time when the camera-ready version is submitted.

The Best Paper Award, sponsored by Springer, will be given to the paper that the Program Committee judges to be the best in quality, execution, and impact among all the accepted papers in the conference. For this purpose, a selection of candidate papers will be made, which will also be awarded with a diploma of Distinguished Papers.
ICSOC 2023 will be held in Rome, near the historical city centre and walking distance from the main train station.
The main conference and co-located events (workshops, tutorials, etc) will be held at NH Collection Roma Centro, Via dei Gracchi 324, 00192 Rome, Italy, situated in the beautiful Prati area nearby the Vatican and St. Peter’s Basilica and just a few minutes walking from Spanish Steps and the city center.
A limited number of rooms are reserved for ICSOC participants at the conference venue (NH Collection Roma Centro).
