<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">==========</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099"><br></font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">Service-oriented applications play an important role in enterprise computing and</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">more recently in the field of cloud computing. While there is an agreement about</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">the main principles for designing and developing such applications,</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">methodologies and tools that support the development of service-oriented</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">applications are still a subject of intensive research. It is recognized that</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">traditional software engineering approaches require extensions in the context of</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">service-oriented computing and that there is a need for engineering methods to</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">support the development of software services. In this area, close collaboration</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">between the research community and industry practitioners is essential to</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">develop comprehensive engineering methodologies and tools that support the</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">entire lifecycle of service-oriented applications.</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099"><br></font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">The WESOA workshop complements the ICSOC conference by focusing on core service</font></div><div class="gmail_default">
<font color="#000099">-oriented software engineering issues while keeping pace with new developments</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">in mobile, social, big data and cloud computing research. Our aim is to</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">facilitate exchange and evolution of ideas in service engineering research</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">across multiple disciplines. We encourage participation of researchers as well</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">as practitioners from academia and industry fostering connections and synergies</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">between these groups. To promote collaboration the WESOA workshop has a highly</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">interactive format with technical sessions complemented by extensive</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">discussions. WESOA 2013 will continue a successful series of ICSOC workshops.</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">Over the past eight years, WESOA has demonstrated its relevance by attracting a</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">large number of contributors and participants. WESOA high-quality papers have</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">been published in the Springer LNCS series and in a special issue of the IJCSSE</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">journal.</font></div><div class="gmail_default">
