ESOCC 2025 – Final Call for Papers (extended deadlines)

Bolzano, Italy
Thu 20 - Fri 21 February 2025

Nowadays, Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing are the mainstream 
approaches to building large-scale distributed systems and delivering 
software services to end users. Cloud-native software is pervading the 
delivery of enterprise applications, which are comprised of 
microservices. Microservices can be independently developed and deployed 
by exploiting multiple heterogeneous technologies. The resulting systems 
might be polyglot service compositions that can then be shipped in 
serverful or serverless platforms (e.g., using virtualization 
technologies). These characteristics make Service-Oriented and Cloud 
Computing the natural answers to the industry’s need for flexibly 
scalable and maintainable enterprise applications that can be delivered 
through state-of-the-art methodologies like DevOps. To further support 
this, researchers and practitioners need to create methods, tools, and 
techniques to support cost-effective and secure development as well as 
the use of dependable devices, platforms, services, and Service-Oriented 
applications in the Cloud, now also considering the Cloud-IoT computing 
continuum to exploit widespread adoption of smart connected things and 
the increasing growth of their computing capabilities.

The European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC) 
is the premier conference on advances in the state-of-the-art and 
practice of Service-Oriented Computing and Cloud Computing in Europe. 
ESOCC aims to facilitate the exchange between researchers and 
practitioners in the areas of Service-Oriented Computing and Cloud 
Computing, as well as to explore the new trends in those areas and 
foster future collaborations in Europe and beyond.

Topics of Interest
ESOCC 2025 seeks original, high-quality contributions related to all 
aspects of Service-Oriented and Cloud computing. Specific topics of 
interest include, but are not limited to:

serverless, container-based virtualization, VMs

Important Dates
Submission of abstracts: September 24, 2024 (AoE)
Submission of full papers: October 1, 2024 (AoE)
Notification to authors: November  15, 2024 (AoE)
Camera-ready versions due: December 01, 2024 (AoE)

Post proceeding opportunity
A journal special issue is planned at Springer Journal on Cluster 
Computing (Impact factor 4.4 as of 2022). Authors of selected accepted 
papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their articles.

Submissions
ESOCC 2025 invites submissions of the following kinds:
– Regular Research Papers (15 pages, including references)
– PhD Symposium (12 pages including references)
– Projects and Industry Reports (Projects and Industry Reports - 1 to 6 
pages including references, describing an ongoing EU or national 
project, or providing industrial perspectives on innovative 
applications, technologies, or methods in ESOCC’s scope)

We only accept original papers not submitted for publication elsewhere. 
The papers must be formatted according to the proceedings guidelines of 
Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series 
(https://urldefense.us/v3/__http://www.springer.com/lncs__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!dB7zpXYBRk8QFhakzvBUpWf6YI4l9X5cO3eVqpdSIBjugqMAGIGlAkApymcVL4PMdDNgFbpdVYLPrPosS5O23g$ ).
They must be submitted to the EasyChair site at 
https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esocc2025__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!dB7zpXYBRk8QFhakzvBUpWf6YI4l9X5cO3eVqpdSIBjugqMAGIGlAkApymcVL4PMdDNgFbpdVYLPrPpPchGlbA$  by selecting the right 
track.
Accepted papers from all tracks will be published in the main conference 
proceedings by Springer in the LNCS series. For publication to happen, 
at least one author of each accepted paper is expected to register and 
present the work at the conference.

For further details, refer to the conference website at 
https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://conf.researchr.org/home/esocc-2025__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!dB7zpXYBRk8QFhakzvBUpWf6YI4l9X5cO3eVqpdSIBjugqMAGIGlAkApymcVL4PMdDNgFbpdVYLPrPpAsZYyiQ$  and for any further queries,
