WORKSHOP ON ENGINEERING SERVICE ORIENTED APPLICATIONS: "Supporting Software Service Development Lifecycles" (WESOA'09) Associated with ICSOC-ServiceWave 2009, November 23th 2009 WESOA Workshop Website http://www.wesoa.org/ OBJECTIVES Many of today's large-scale software projects in the area of distributed systems and especially enterprise IT adopt service-oriented software architecture and technologies. For these projects, availability of sound software engineering principles, methodology and tool support is mission-critical. However, traditional software engineering approaches are not fully appropriate for the development of service-oriented applications. The limitations of traditional methods in the context of service-oriented computing have led to the emergence of software service engineering (SSE) as a new specialist discipline, but research in this area is still immature and many open issues remain. There is an urgent need for research community and industry practitioners to develop comprehensive engineering principles, methodologies and tool support for the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC) of service-oriented applications. The WESOA 2009 workshop is the fifth in a series of workshops that focus on the specific aspects of SSE. Our aim is to facilitate exchange and evolution of ideas on SSE topics across multiple disciplines and to encourage participation of researchers and practitioners from academia and industry. In particular, collaboration will be fostered by means of a highly interactive and fast-paced workshop format. TOPICS WESOA'09 encourages a multidisciplinary perspective and welcomes papers that address challenges of SSE in general or in the context of specific domains. Workshop topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: + Software service development lifecycle methodologies and processes + Distributed and collaborative software service development + Service-oriented reference models and frameworks + Architectural styles and standards for software service systems + Management and governance of SSE projects + Models, languages and methods for service-oriented analysis and design + Requirements-engineering for software service systems + Service-oriented business process modelling + SSE for cloud computing environments (incl. IaaS, PaaS and SaaS) + Validation, verification and testing of software service systems + Service assembly, composition and aggregation models and languages + Model-driven SOA and service systems development + Reverse engineering of software service systems + Tool support for software service engineering + Case studies and best practices of service-oriented development CONFERENCE This year ICSOC and European ServiceWave Conference series are particularly pleased to join forces, with the aim to provide a world leading forum and unique opportunity for academic researchers and industry practitioners to report on groundbreaking research work in service oriented computing. The joint conference fosters the creation of cross community scientific excellence by gathering industrial and academic experts from various disciplines such as business process management, distributed systems, computer networks, wireless & mobile communication networks, grid computing, networking, service science and software engineering. Workshops take place on Monday 23rd of November and the morning of the 24t of November, the conference starts on the afternoon of the 24th of November until the 27th November. Full information can be found at www.servicewave.eu and www.icsoc.org Scientific workshops are an important part of the conference and their proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag in the new Services Science book serie.
