Call for Tutorials
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 and provides a high-quality forum for presenting results and discussing ideas that advance our knowledge and understanding of service computing. ICSOC 2026, the 24th event in this series, will take place in Lodz, Poland, from 1 to 4 December 2026.
ICSOC 2026 will feature tutorials related to conference topics. Tutorials will run in parallel with other conference sessions. Both introductory and advanced tutorials are welcome. Tutorials may be theoretical, experimental, hands-on, or demo-oriented, and proposals that complement accepted ICSOC 2026 workshops are especially encouraged. Proposals on contemporary topics and recent developments in service orientation and its applications are especially welcome. Proposals could target, for example,
- Service composition and orchestration
- Privacy, trust, and security management in service ecosystems
- Low-code/no-code platforms for service development and deployment
- Service orchestration across the cloud-edge continuum
- IoT service integration in cyber-physical and smart environments
- Federated learning in service-oriented environments
- Large Language Models (LLMs) and generative AI for service computing
- Agentic AI systems and multi-agent architectures for service computing
- Model Context Protocol (MCP) and tool-augmented AI for service integration
- Sustainability and green computing: energy-aware and carbon-aware service orchestration
