Call for Papers: International Workshop on SOA Migration and Evolution 2010 (SOAME 2010)

Call for Papers International Workshop on SOA Migration and Evolution 2010 (SOAME 2010) A conference workshop of CSMR 2010 March 15th, 2010 Madrid, Spain http://www.soame2010.eu Motivation In recent years, the perception of service-oriented architecture (SOA) has undergone a remarkable change. Today, SOA is no longer considered a technical solution combining web services over standardized interfaces and protocols. Instead, SOA is conceived as a conceptual approach in order to align enterprise IT systems with the business strategies and processes they are supposed to support. The notion of ?service? as the lowest common denominator of business and IT seems to offer an adequate starting point for consolidating IT application landscapes according to business needs. Combining services in ever new service choreographies promises a flexible, easily adaptable and thus sustainable IT support. SOA success stories in large enterprises indicate that service orientation is an effective way to integrate legacy systems as reusable building blocks into a flexible enterprise architecture. Process engines have been installed on the top of this legacy layer and build up a flexible framework for service orchestration and process development. Content (services and processes) is growing fast in such environments, so evolution and maintenance of service-oriented architectures will be the challenge of the near future. However, especially for small and medium sized enterprises, SOA is a far cry from being already implemented as mainstream. So strategies for initiating SOA in enterprises are still subject of interest. Reengineering and migration approaches have to be considered when legacy systems functionality will be made available to be used inside workflow-engines. The SOAME workshop focuses on both subjects ? SOA enabling by reusing legacy systems and SOA maintenance and evolution. The SOAME workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners in the areas of SOA enabling and SOA maintenance to present and discuss state-of-the- art techniques as well as real-world experiences to stimulate further SOA engineering research activities. We aim to encourage the development of a broad community of interest in this area.
