Goal of the workshop
--------------------
The workshop aims to foster cooperation among software practitioners and researchers in order to exchange the latest industrial experience and research ideas on services and processes engineering.
Workshop theme
Complex software systems are at the core of most business transactions, making the area of processes and services engineering a very attractive field for innovative research and for facing new challenges. Research is devoted to the software engineering of service-oriented applications with the goal of providing effective solutions to the development, deployment and management of the resulting applications. In this scenario, security pla+ys a fundamental role, since the resulting software system is expected to function correctly and resist also to malicious attacks under different changing threat scenarios. New techniques and methodologies are needed to be able to build better, more robust and more trusted systems, where security is taken into account and integrated in the whole design process since the very first stages.
Likely participants
Software engineers and security researchers are called to participate and exchange ideas and techniques.
Scope of the workshop
researchers and practitioners all over the world, from both academia and industry, working in the areas of process engineering, service-oriented computing, and security are invited to discuss state of the art solutions, novel issues, recent developments, applications, methodologies, techniques, experience reports, and tools for the development and use of secure service oriented systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Trust, security, and privacy in service oriented systems
• Secure business process composition
• Risk management in business processes
• Trust and policy management in clouds
• Service dependability, survivability, and reliability
• Design and development of secure service oriented systems
• Security specification of service oriented systems
• Certification of service oriented systems
• Verification, validation and testing of security properties of service oriented systems

Paper Submission
----------------
Papers must be submitted electronically via SAPSE 2012 Submission Page. The format of submitted papers should follow guidelines for IEEE conference proceedings. All papers will be carefully reviewed by at least three reviewers. Papers can be submitted as regular papers (six pages) and the acceptance will depend upon reviewer feedback. All accepted papers will be published in the electronic conference proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society, indexed through INSPEC and EI Index (Elsevier's Eng. Inf. Index), and automatically included in the IEEE Digital Library. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must register as a full participant of COMPSAC for the paper to be included in the proceedings. Each accepted paper must be presented in person by an author.
