ESOCC<br> has evolved from the ECOWS (European Conference on Web Services) conference series, after the Steering<br> Committee decided to renew and broaden its scope, and to start a new conference series on advanced topics of<br> service-oriented and cloud computing.<br> The first edition of the new series, ESSOC 2012, was successfully held in Bertinoro, Italy, the second edition, ESOCC<br> 2013, was held in Malaga, Spain, and will be continued by ESOCC 2014 in Manchester, UK. The main objectives of<br> this conference are to facilitate the exchange between researchers and practitioners in the areas of SOC and Cloud<br> Computing and to foster future collaborations in Europe and beyond. ESOCC 2014 will include invited talks,<br> presentations of selected research papers and an industrial track with the participation of top researchers from<br> industry. ESOCC 2014 will also include a PhD symposium and a series of satellite workshops.<br><br>BACKGROUND<br><br> The continued success of service-oriented distributed applications has shown that tightly coupled software systems<br> may be useful for niche markets, whereas loosely coupled software systems have proven to be more flexible, adaptive<br> and often more appropriate for practical applications.<br> Loose coupling makes it easier for a given system to interact with other system components (including legacy systems)</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> that have been developed independently somewhere in a heterogeneous universe of services. Thus, service-oriented<br> applications can evolve more easily during their lifespan and adapt better to changing or even unpredictable<br> environments. In such scenarios, cloud computing enables a new execution paradigm for distributed software<br> application where resources can be shared, optimally realized as well as utilized and exchanged between<br> heterogeneous execution platforms and the cloud, so as to achieve fast response times and to<br> ensure immersive and non-interrupted user experience. <br> Services today are developed independently, deployed as well as freely composed, and they can be implemented in a<br> variety of technologies a fact which is of particular importance from a business perspective.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> Similarly, cloud computing aims at enabling mobility as well as device, platform and/or service independence by<br> offering centralized sharing of resources. It promotes interoperability, portability and security standards, and raises a<br> completely new set of security issues. On the implementation side, essential agreement has been reached on<br> integration technologies and consensus has emerged in today's middleware market. Customers use web technologies<br> extensively; however, service developers, providers, and integrators need to create methods, tools and techniques to<br> support cost-effective and secure development and use of dependable devices, platforms, services and service-<br> oriented applications in the cloud.<br><br>TOPICS OF INTEREST<br><br> ESOCC 2014 seeks original, high quality papers related to all aspects of Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing,<br> which constitute the main technology available to date for implementing service-oriented architectures and cloud<br> computing.
