BACKGROUND AND GOALS

Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) deals with the provision of models, transformations between them and code generators to address software development. One of the main advantages of model-driven approaches is the provision of a conceptual structure where the models used by business managers and analysts can be traced towards more detailed models used by software developers. This kind of alignment between high level business specifications and the lower level Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) is a crucial aspect in the field of Service-Oriented Development (SOD) where meaningful business services and business process specifications are those that can give support to real business environment usually changing with increasing speed.

SOD has become currently in one of the major research topics in the field of software engineering, leading the appearance of a novel and emerging discipline called Service Engineering (SE), which aim to bring together benefits of SOA and Business Process Management (BPM). SE focuses on the identification of service (a client-provider interaction that creates value for the client) as first class elements for the software construction. The convergence of SE with MDE can holds out the promise of rapid, accurate development of software that serves software users' goals.

In this context, MoSE workshop series has been providing a forum to discuss different issues related to SE in conjunction with MDE, boarding open research problems in this area as well as practical experiences. Some of the previous results from MoSE workshop will be found in the forthcoming Special Issue in Model-Driven Service Engineering of the International Journal of Cooperative Information Systems (IJCIS).
