<div style="RIGHT: auto">Preliminary CALL FOR PAPERS</div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"> </div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto">Starting from 2005, SOSE is one of the pioneering symposia <BR>devoted to the research in engineering service-oriented systems. <BR>It has addressed issues in various aspects of engineering SOA-based systems from <BR>architecture and computing paradigm to the development and quality validation problems <BR>and solutions. Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) exploits services as the fundamental <BR>elements for developing computer-based systems. It has been applied to various areas <BR>and promotes fundamental changes to system architecture. SOC changes the way software <BR>systems are being analyzed, architected, designed, implemented, tested, evaluated, <BR>delivered, consumed, maintained, and evolved, SOSE symposia focuses on the SOC from <BR>the perspectives of software engineering and system engineering.</div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"> <BR>Recently, cloud computing further expands the scope of SOC to include new subjects,</div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"> such as Platform as a Service (PaaS), <BR>Software as a Service (SaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), and Testing as a Service (TaaS).</div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto">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. </div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"><BR>A. Regular Research Papers. The topics include, but are not limited to, the following: </div>
