- Arizona State University <br>- San Jose State University<br>- Tokyo Institute of Technology</div><div>- Oxford Brookes University</div><div>- University of Leeds </div><p><br>Preliminary CALL FOR PAPERS</p><div>Starting from 2005, SOSE is one of the pioneering symposia devoted to the research </div>
<div>in engineering service-oriented systems. It has addressed issues in various aspects </div><div>of engineering SOA-based systems from architecture and computing paradigm to the </div><div>development and quality validation problems and solutions. </div>
<div> </div><div>Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) exploits services as the fundamental elements </div><div>for developing computer-based systems. It has been applied to various areas <br>and promotes fundamental changes to system architecture. </div>
<div> </div><div>SOE (Service Oriented Engineering) changes the way software systems are being analyzed, </div><div>architected, designed, implemented, tested, evaluated, delivered, consumed, maintained, </div><div>and evolved, SOSE symposia focuses on the SOC from the perspectives of software </div>
<div>engineering and system engineering. <br></div><div>Recently, cloud computing further expands the scope of SOC to include new subjects such as </div><div>Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), </div>
<div>and Testing as a Service (TaaS). </div><p>Continuing the tradition of the last five SOSE Symposia, the 6th SOSE provides a forum <br>for researchers and practitioners to exchange latest observations, insights, research <br>
achievements and visions in the engineering of service systems. Particularly, SOSE 2011 <br>invites original submissions in all the areas of the system engineering, software engineering <br>methods, techniques, tools, applications, and experiments for software services. </p>
<p><br>A. Regular Research Papers. The topics include, but are not limited to, the following: </p><p>Track I: Service-Oriented System Engineering<br>- Business process integration and management </p><p>- Governance for large-scaled service-oriented systems <br>
- Modernization, migration, and servicetization of legacy systems <br>- Modeling and simulation of service-oriented systems <br>- Adaptation, control and optimization in service-oriented systems <br>- Social and collaborative engineering of services systems <br>
- Service interoperability, composibility, quality, reliability, mobility, <br>scalability, elasticity, and security </p><p>Track II. Service-Oriented Computing<br> <br>- Software Engineering<br>- Model-driven development of service-oriented systems <br>
- Multi-tenant architecture, configurable architecture <br>- Requirement and design modeling of services and systems <br>- Specifications of services and systems <br>- Semantic services and semantic enabled service engineering <br>
- Architecture including event-driven architecture, code generation, <br>- Dynamic service delivery, deployment and evolution</p><p>- Lifecycle models, reusability, and <br>- Metrics and measurement of services, QoS, and QoE</p>
<p>- Runtime verification, validation, monitoring, testing on-the-fly and policy enforcement </p><p>Track III. Service-Oriented Computing </p><p>- Emergent Paradigms and Technologies</p><p>- Service oriented architecture, analysis, modeling, design, validation, QoS, <br>

<p>- Issues, solutions, techniques, tools and standards for Testing as a Service (TaaS)</p><div>B. Applications and Industry Experiences </div><div> </div><div>Papers report case studies, empirical research and practical experiences in service engineering are invited. </div>
<div><br>The topics include but not limited to the following. </div><p>- Enterprise architecture and solution frameworks <br>- Platforms and tools for system and software engineering <br>- Application composition based on services <br>
- Case studies, experiments and evaluation of services and application systems </p><div><br>C. Review of the State-Of-The-Art of the Research on Service Engineering and <br>Emergent Subjects<br></div><div>In addition to regular research papers sessions, this year the symposium will invite </div>
<div>tutorial papers which review the current advance in service engineering and related emergent subjects. </div><p>These papers should summarize the recent research advance in service engineering <br>from different perspectives, identify the open issues and future needs and challenges <br>
in the field. In addition, SOSE 2011 also welcome timely problem discussion papers <br>that focus on new issues, needs and challenges in emergent subjects. </p><p>The topics include, but not limited to, the following: <br>
- Modeling, simulation and static analysis of service-oriented systems, <br>- Testing, verification, validation and quality assurance in the development of <br>service oriented systems</p><p>- Governance and policies in service oriented software development</p>
<p>- Engineering techniques and tools to support the publishing, discovery and <br>composition of services</p><p>- Architectural and detail designs of services and code generation of service software</p><p>- Techniques and tool support the deployment and execution of services</p>
<p>- Measurements and metrics of QoS in SOA-based application systems</p><p>Paper Submission <br>Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers <br>as well as industrial practice papers and position papers. <br>
Simultaneous submissions to other publication venues are not permitted. </p><p>Online Submission Site: <a href="http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sose2011" target="_blank">http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sose2011</a></p>
