QASBA 2013
2nd International Workshop on
Quality Assurance for Service-based applications

co-located with ISSTA 2013
Lugano, Switzerland, July 15, 2013

http://fmt.isti.cnr.it/qasba2013/

*** deadline extended to April 29 ***

The service-oriented computing paradigm has been widely adopted in
enterprises as a means to implement distributed computing
solutions. These solutions are realized as service-based applications
(SBAs), by integrating heterogeneous software services, usually
developed, controlled and owned by different organizations.

Given the availability of mechanisms for run-time service discovery
and binding, the service-oriented paradigm fosters a further level of
dynamicity where service integration emerges at run time and evolves
over time. Nevertheless the run-time integration of services owned and
controlled by different organizations, as well as the unprecedented
degree of change allowed in such systems, affects the notion of
correctness, dependability, and quality of SBAs. This poses a
challenge for the definition of new methodologies and techniques for
the quality assurance process of this class of software. The consensus
is that the quality assurance process has to span over the entire life
cycle of a service-based application, integrating both design-time and
run-time techniques; yet the approaches remain fragmented.

The QASBA workshop seeks original high-quality papers related, but not limited, to the following topics:

* specification languages for functional and extra-functional
properties of SBAs
* testing, static analysis and model checking approaches for SBAs
* formal methods for specifying and analyzing SBAs
* diagnosis, run-time verification, run-time monitoring and online testing of SBAs
* integration of design-time and run-time QA techniques
* multi-layered analysis techniques for cloud infrastructures
* service choreography specification and enactment
* governance definition and supporting infrastructure in a multi-parties setting
* trust among parties providing services to be integrated at run time
* tool support and methodologies for quality assurance of SBAs
* QoS assessment and validation
* sustainability analysis of service-based infrastructures

Three kinds of contributions are sought:

* short position papers (not to exceed 4 pages in the workshop format)
describing particular challenges or experiences relevant to the scope
of the workshop

* short industrial problem papers (not to exceed 4 pages in the
workshop format) describing particular challenges that are faced in
industry for what concerns quality assurance of SBAs

* full research papers (not to exceed 8 pages in the workshop format)
describing novel solutions to relevant problems

Detailed instructions for the submission will be made
available at (http://fmt.isti.cnr.it/qasba2013/submission.html)

The workshop proceedings will be published by ACM, and made available
in the ACM digital library.

The content of the contributions must be original: any portion of the
contribution submitted to this workshop must not have been previously
published or accepted for publication, nor can it be under submission
elsewhere during the review period. One of the authors of each
accepted paper has to register and present the paper at the workshop.
