A new paradigm – service-orientation –
is currently emerging for distributed computing
and e-business processing; it has evolved from
object-oriented and component-based computing
to enable building agile networks of
collaborating business applications distributed
within and across organizational boundaries.
This new paradigm utilizes services (autonomous
platform-independent computational elements
that can be described, published, discovered
and accessed over the Internet using standard
protocols) as fundamental elements for
developing applications/solutions; services
will be important for customers and not the
specific software or hardware component that is
used to implement the services. In this
context, services become the next level of
abstraction in the process of creating systems
that would enable automation of e-businesses.
This paradigm shift is changing the way the
computer software is developed and used
(designed, architected, delivered, consumed,
and analysed), and this way of reorganizing
software applications into a set of interacting
services is usually referred to as
Service-oriented Architectures (SOA).
To realize the vision of service-orientation
(billions of users and services, interacting in
a loosely coupled manner), resources need to
packaged and offered in an economical, scalable
and flexible manner that is affordable and
attractive to IT customers and technology
investors. The underlying infrastructure that
allows such efficient service provisioning is
referred to as the Service Cloud. Cloud
services are accessed over the Internet via
user-friendly web interfaces, are location
agnostic, can be hosted through third party
service providers and can be quick to improve
based on real-time customer feedback.
In recent years, various forms of services
in the cloud have appeared; amongst them, Web
services, Grid services, Semantic Web Services,
and e-Services are the most important. Although
they share some of the principles of
service-oriented architectures, they differ in
many other aspects, which is an undesirable
situation in the context of
service-orientation. Since standard protocols
are a basic principle of SOA, this undesirable
situation is partly due also to the fact that
there are currently no mature methodologies and
techniques to support analysis for services in
the cloud. Moreover, all these forms of
service-oriented architectures have developed
different conceptual models, resulting in
different methodologies for modelling and
designing service-oriented systems.
In this context, this workshop aims to
tackle the research problems (as well as
practical experiences) around methods,
concepts, models, languages and technology that
enable computing in the service cloud. Of
particular interest are the architectural,
technical, and developmental foundations of
service-oriented systems in the cloud, and
showing how they combine synergistically to
enable distributed computing on the scale
required by today’s Internet-connected
enterprise.
The workshop aims to bring together
researchers and industry practitioners (e.g.
leading modelers, architects, system vendors,
open-source projects, developers, and
end-users) addressing many of these issues
(including recent developments in tools and
techniques, and real-world implementations of
the service cloud), and promote and foster a
greater understanding of how the service cloud
can assist business to business and enterprise
application integration, thus helping people
develop and manage business processes more
efficiently and effectively.
