=====================================================================


Key dates:
Submission Deadline: August 13, 2019
Notification: September 14, 2019
Early Registration: September 31, 2019

Submission site: https://www.conftool.com/icsoc2019

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 2019 continues a successful series of workshops that started at ICSOC
2005 in Amsterdam. Over the last fourteen 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 ICSOC 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.

SUBMISSION

Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished research papers.
Papers should be written in English strictly following Springer LNCS style for
all text, references, appendices, and figures. Please, submit papers via the
ICSOC conference management tool (https://www.conftool.com/icsoc2019) in PDF
format. For formatting instructions and templates see the Springer Web page:
