Welcome to the homepage of the 2nd International Workshop on Service Oriented Software Engineering (IW-SOSWE 2007). We are happy to inform you that this year the workshop will be a satellite event of ESEC/FSE 2007, to be held in Dubrovnik (Croatia). The previous edition of the event was colocated with ICSE 2006 in Shangai (China). You can reach the last year web page here.

Service oriented software engineering, in which software applications are constructed as composition of services, has been recognised as an important approach to software system development. One of the main goals of the service oriented paradigm and of the technologies enabling this vision, is to provide a solution to the development of applications involving tasks to be carried out by different organizations. Recently, more and more software systems are being developed, deployed, and consumed in this way. This new paradigm centres on the creation, discovery, composition and collaboration of autonomous services that can fulfil various functional and quality requirements. From a technological point of view, recent years have seen the emergence of important standards enabling the Service Oriented vision; however, the engineering of complex and dependable service oriented software still lacks powerful, effective methods and tools.

The 2nd International Workshop on Service Oriented Software Engineering (IW-SOSWE 2007), is intended to provide a forum for presentation and discussion of a wide range of topics related to the new paradigm of service oriented software engineering. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers from academia and industry, as well as practitioners working in the areas of software system engineering and service-oriented computing to discuss existing issues, recent developments, applications, methods, techniques, experience reports, and tools to support the engineering and use of service oriented systems. More specifically, the workshop seeks contributions that address theoretic foundations, practical techniques, empirical studies, experience, and lessons learned related, but not limited, to those listed in the CFP.

The workshop solicits three kinds of submissions: a) full papers presenting on going research, b) position papers introducing new open issues and research statements, and c) demo papers describing a demonstration that will then be presented during the workshop. All papers must be written in English, must be original, and should not have been submitted for review or published elsewhere.
Full papers should not exceed 7 pages in the ACM format including figures, bibliography and appendices. Position and demo papers are limited to 5 pages. Demo papers should provide an evidence that the described tool can be actually demonstrated. Therefore, a short description of the demo story board and some screen capture are welcomed.
All submitted papers will be reviewed by three members of the programme committee and will be evaluated based on their quality, relevance, originality, significance, and soundness. Accepted papers will be published by ACM together with the proceedings of ESEC/FSE 2007 conference.
