SPECIAL ISSUE ON Service-oriented Software Engineering: Foundations, Architectures, SDLCs and Innovative Applications.
International Journal of Information Technologies and the Systems Approach (IJITSA)
Guest Editors: Dr. Annette Steenkamp, Lawrence Technological University, USA Dr. Carina Gonzalez, University of the Laguna, Spain
INTRODUCTION: A Service System is a new configuration of technology and organizational networks designed to deliver services that satisfy the goals and needs of customers. However, Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) has emerged as a major trend of computing paradigm in the past few years, changing the way software systems are designed, architected, delivered and consumed. In this sense, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Web services are being adopted by industries to make business services perform more efficiently and effectively. They contribute to the shaping of the processes of business modeling, solution creation, service delivery, and software architecture design, development and deployment. This special issue aims to cover a wide range of topics related to SOC paradigms and its approaches, techniques, methods, tools and technologies.
OBJECTIVE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE: To obtain a unified view of information systems, based on theoretical and applied research performed utilizing the systems approach to service-oriented software engineering, service-oriented architectures, and system development process models based on services.
RECOMMENDED TOPICS: Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not limited to) the following:
Foundations for service-oriented software engineering (design philosophies, research philosophies, theoretical underpinnings, disciplines of references, evolution of software engineering paradigms (procedures, objects, components, services, models of reference for service software systems). Services Engineering Practices and Case Studies ( (e.g., healthcare, financial, aviation, education, etc.). Service-oriented Architectures (design methodologies, standards and models of reference, SOA and related areas: BPM, SOP, ITSM, Systems Engineering). Tools, Solutions and Services. Interoperability and collaboration. System development life cycles based on services (new analysis and design methods, requirements engineering for software service systems, evolution of SDLCs, agile development life cycles based on services). Service-Oriented Modeling, Development Processes and Methods. Service Delivery, Deployment and Maintenance. Service-oriented systems Quality, Policy, Trust, Security and Privacy. Service-Oriented Simulation/Test Engineering. Test methods and framework for services and service-oriented systems. Verification, Validation, and Testing of Service-Oriented Systems. Innovative applications of Service-oriented Software Engineering (SOSE). Service-oriented systems and Semantic Web. Service-oriented systems on Grid Network. Mobile Service-oriented systems.
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit papers for this special theme issue Service-oriented Software Engineering: Foundations, Architectures, SDLCs and Innovative Applications on or before October 31, 2009. All submissions must be original and may not be under review by another publication. INTERESTED AUTHORS SHOULD CONSULT THE JOURNALS GUIDELINES FOR MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSIONS at http://www.igi-global.com/development/author_info/guidelines%20submission.pd.... All submitted papers will be reviewed on a double-blind, peer review basis. Papers must follow APA style for reference citations.
ABOUT International Journal of Information Technologies and the Systems Approach (IJITSA): The Journal of Information Technologies and Systems Approach (IJITSA) is an academic and practitioner journal created to disseminate and discuss high quality research results on Information Systems and related upper and lower level Systems as well as on its interactions with Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, Complex Systems and Philosophy issues, through rigorous Theoretical, Modeling, Engineering or Behavioral studies in order to explore, describe, explain, predict, design, control, evaluate, interpret, intervene and/or develop organizational systems where Information Systems are the main objects of study and the Systems Approach any variant- is the main research methodology and philosophical stance used. This journal is an official publication of the Information Resources Management Association (http://www.igi-global.com/ijitsa)
