OVERVIEW

The workshop will focus on software engineering issues in the context of
service-oriented systems and especially 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 2022 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 encourages new 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 life cycle.

The workshop is open to contributions that focus on the “broad” spectrum of
Services Software Engineering including DevOps. We would like to have papers
that explain and exemplify relevant issues and open problems, papers that
present established solutions, and also papers that discuss success stories. In
all these cases, we expect well-focused contributions to help participants
understand problems, open issues, and available solutions, and also to foster
rich and fruitful discussions. Visionary papers are welcome.
