Workshop theme and goals

The service-oriented paradigm is emerging as a new way to engineer applications that are exposed as services for possible use through standardized protocols. Service-oriented applications are pushing traditional software engineering problems - distribution, componentization, composition, requirements, specification, verification, and evolution - to their extreme. Services are in fact distributed and may be composed to form new added-value services. Moreover, they are developed, deployed, and evolved by different organizations. Services are exposed for possible use, and a faithful specification of their functional and non-functional properties must be made available for other parties who may search and discover them. Systems, implemented as composite services, must be designed to fulfill requirements that very often evolve continuously, and thus require adaptation of the solution. Furthermore, such systems depend on their combined services, which, in turn, may evolve autonomously. Research on service-oriented systems is presently focusing on many topics, all of which are in the scope of PESOS. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers from academia and industry, as well as practitioners working in the area to discuss important issues, recent developments, applications, methods, techniques, experience reports, and tools to support the engineering and use of service oriented systems. Special emphasis will be put on the effects that continuous evolution and adaptation will exert on service-oriented systems. Evolution is a consequence of continuous and rapid changes in the requirements and business goals. Adaptation is a consequence of changes in the environment in which systems are embedded and changes in the component services and may require the definition and the execution of proper self-adaptation mechanisms. The workshop will call for special attention on how to achieve evolution and adaptation in a secure and dependable way, focusing on aspects of engineering service-based systems: - specification, design, implementation, verification, deployment, and operation of service-oriented systems, - realization with distributed infrastructures that support them, - alignment with business processes.

Paper submission

Participants are encouraged to submit position papers and full papers. Position papers should highlight open problems and future challenges in the field. Full papers could describe novel research contributions that are not mature enough to be submitted to conferences as well as experience reports. All papers should be in the two columns IEEE format required for the ICSE technical papers (see http://www.cs.uoregon.edu/events/icse2009/calls/format/), must be submitted in PDF format, and submitted via the dedicated web-site that will be indicated soon. Position paper should be at most 4 pages long while full papers at most 8 pages. All submitted contributions will be reviewed by three reviewers and will be evaluated based on their quality, relevance, originality, and significance. Accepted contributions will be published in the ACM digital library within the ICSE 2009 workshop proceedings.

Workshop format ---

The workshop will be organized around paper presentation sessions and at least one discussion session. A keynote speach is also foreseen. More details on the organization will be provided right after the acceptance of papers.
