PESOS 2012 - 4th International Workshop on Principles of Engineering Service-Oriented Systems (PESOS)

Service-oriented systems pose novel challenges to software engineering, stemming from the lack of homogeneity of their basic components and from the requirement of being able to accommodate unprecedented levels of changes and dynamic evolution. Increasingly, services will be offered via the Internet through emerging delivery models such as software-as-a-service (SaaS), business process outsourcing (BPO), cloud services and third-party services. This means that future software systems will increasingly rely on the provisioning of services, which are no longer under the software engineer's control. Those trends are reflected in the special theme of the 4th edition of PESOS: "Internet of Services".
The goal of PESOS 2012 is to bring together software engineering researchers from academia and industry, as well as practitioners working in the areas of service-oriented systems to discuss research challenges, recent developments, novel application scenarios, as well as methods, techniques, experiences and tools to support engineering, evolution and adaptation of large-scale, highly-dynamic service-oriented systems.
For the first time, PESOS will feature a special session on "the quest for case studies", aiming to start collecting and discussing reference examples, benchmarks and experimental data sets related to the theme of the workshop.
