OVERVIEW

The workshop will focus on software engineering issues in the context of
service-oriented systems and especially on modern trends of cloud native
microservices and associated s approaches, as well as their application in
challenging areas like, e.g., smart data processing, Internet of Things,
service-enabled data spaces and products, and Industry 4.0. Our aim is to
facilitate exchange and evolution of ideas in service engineering research
across multiple disciplines and to encourage participation of researchers from
academia and industry. WESOACS 2023 continues a successful series of workshops
that started at ICSOC 2005 in Amsterdam. Over more than fifteen years WESOA/CS
has demonstrated its relevance by attracting a large number of participants and
producing high-quality papers that were published by Springer LNCS series. The
WESOACS series encourages new approaches that address challenges arising from
unique characteristics of service-oriented applications and cloud services,
focusing on principles, methodologies, techniques and tools that support a
service-oriented system development life cycle.

OBJECTIVES

The WESOACS series encourages new approaches that address challenges arising
from unique characteristics of service-oriented applications and cloud services,
focusing on principles, methodologies, techniques and tools that support a
service- oriented system development life cycle.

The workshop is open to contributions that focus on the “broad” spectrum of
Services Software Engineering. We would like to solicit papers that explain and
exemplify relevant issues and open problems, papers that present established
solutions, and also papers that discuss success stories. In all these cases, we
expect well-focused contributions to help participants understand problems, open
issues, and available solutions, and also to foster rich and fruitful
discussions. Also, papers on work in progress or visionary papers are welcome.
