16th International Workshop on Engineering Service-Oriented Applications and
Cloud Services (WESOACS 2020)

In conjunction with ESOCC 2020
Heraklion, Greece, September 28-30, 2020

Website: http://destini2020.eu/wesoacs2020/

Key dates:
Submission Deadline: (new) July 8, 2020
Notification: (new) July 18, 2020
Workshop Day: September 28, 2020

Submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wesoacs2020

OVERVIEW

The workshop will focus on core software engineering issues in the context of
service-oriented systems and especially focus on modern trends of cloud native
microservices and associated DevOps approaches, as well as their application in
challenging areas like smart data processing and Industry 4.0.

Our aim is to facilitate exchange and evolution of ideas in service engineering
research across multiple disciplines and to encourage participation of
researchers from academia and industry.

WESOACS 2020 continues a successful series of workshops that started at ICSOC
2005 in Amsterdam. Over the last fifteen years WESOA/CS has demonstrated its
relevance by attracting a large number of participants and producing
high-quality papers that were published by Springer LNCS series.

OBJECTIVES

The WESOACS series advocates innovative approaches that address challenges
arising from unique characteristics of service-oriented applications and cloud
services, focusing on principles, methodologies, techniques and tools that
support a service-oriented system development and operations life cycle.

WESOACS complements ESOCC by focusing on core software engineering issues in the
context of service-oriented systems, keeping pace with emerging application
areas of service computing such as mobile, social, cloud computing, smart
environments and (industrial) IoT.
