*Call for Papers*

The European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC) 
is the premier conference on the advances in the state of the art and 
practice of Service-Oriented Computing and Cloud Computing in Europe. 
ESOCC has evolved from the ECOWS (European Conference on Web Services) 
conference series, after the Steering Committee decided to renew and 
broaden its scope, and to start a new conference series on advanced 
topics of service-oriented and cloud computing.

The main objectives of this conference are to facilitate the exchange 
between researchers and practitioners in the areas of Service-oriented 
Computing and Cloud Computing and to foster future collaborations in 
Europe and beyond. ESOCC 2016 will include invited talks, and 
presentations of selected research papers with the participation of top 
researchers from academia and industry. ESOCC 2016 will also include a 
PhD Symposium and a series of satellite workshops.

Background

The continued success of service-oriented distributed applications has 
shown that tightly coupled software systems may be useful for niche 
markets, whereas loosely coupled software systems have proven to be more 
flexible, adaptive and often more appropriate for practical applications.

Loose coupling makes it easier for a given system to interact with other 
system components (including legacy systems) that have been developed 
independently somewhere in a heterogeneous universe of services. Thus, 
service-oriented applications can evolve more easily during their 
lifespan and adapt better to changing or even unpredictable 
environments. In such scenarios, cloud computing enables a new execution 
paradigm for distributed software applications where resources can be 
shared, optimally realized as well as utilized and exchanged between 
heterogeneous execution platforms and the cloud, so as to achieve fast 
response times and to ensure immersive and non-interrupted user experience.

Services today are developed independently, deployed as well as freely 
composed, and they can be implemented in a variety of technologies, a 
fact which is of particular importance from a business perspective.

Similarly, cloud computing aims at enabling mobility as well as device, 
platform and/or service independence by offering centralized sharing of 
resources. It promotes interoperability, portability and security 
standards, and raises a completely new set of security issues. On the 
implementation side, essential agreement has been reached on integration 
technologies and consensus has emerged in today’s middleware market. 
Customers use Web technologies extensively; however, service developers, 
providers, and integrators need to create methods, tools and techniques 
to support cost-effective and secure development and use of dependable 
devices, platforms, services and service-oriented applications in the 
cloud.

*Topic of Interest *

ESOCC 2016 seeks original, high quality papers related to all aspects of 
Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing, which constitute the main 
technology available to date for implementing service-oriented 
architectures and cloud computing.

submitted via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esocc2016

- Research papers
- Industry-Track papers
- PhD-Track (paper deadline: 05.07.2016)

Paper submissions should be formatted according to the LNCS proceedings
guidelines and the templates available at 
http://www.springer.com/computer/Incs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0 and they 
should not exceed 15 pages.

A paper might be accepted as a full paper (15 pages), as a short paper 
(8 pages) or as a poster (a 2-page abstract in the proceedings).
