SOPOSE'09 Call for Papers 4th International Workshop on Service- and Process-Oriented Software Engineering (SOPOSE-09) Workshop webpage: http://www.dsl.uow.edu.au/sopose/index.php SOPOSE'09 is held in conjunction with the 2009 IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2009), September 21-25, 2009, Bangalore, India ( http://conferences.computer.org/scc/2009/)

Theme of the Workshop: It is now widely recognized that service-oriented computing will be the dominant computing paradigm for at least the next decade. Businesses are also increasingly committing to a process-oriented approach in Business Process Management (BPM), which requires careful modelling, documentation and management, as well as continual improvement of, business processes. The software engineering questions relating to service-oriented systems, as well as those relating to process-oriented systems have not been adequately explored. Of prime interest is the interplay between the service-oriented way of delivering software, and BPM way of looking at business processes, as a result of which we are witnessing a confluence of the service-oriented and process-oriented approaches, as key elements of business processes get executed by external (and often remote) services. The software engineering questions relating to such integrated process- and service-oriented need to fulfil the promise of making the software development process flexible, agile, and understandable for business people. There are a plethora of research issues on how such systems might be modelled, designed, implemented and how their lifecycles might be managed. This workshop seeks to systematize our understanding of these issues, and build a community of like-minded researchers and practitioners willing to collaborate on these issues.

Innovations in SOPOSE-09: We propose to adopt a model (common in social science conferences) where each paper has a nominated "discussant" who critiques the paper for approximately 5 minutes at the end of the presentation of the paper. Each paper would thus have 20 minutes for presentation, 5 minutes for critique by the discussant and 5 minutes of general questions from the audience.

We offer a collection of case studies (available at http://www.dsl.uow.edu.au/sopose/index.php?l1=casestudies) that submissions will be asked to address (if relevant). Papers making conceptual, technical or methodological contributions to process lifecycle management will be encouraged to use these case studies to motivate and explain their work.

Distinct from these case studies, the workshop will actively encourage case study-style papers, particularly from industry participants. SOPOSE'09 will involve a special session on creating a community repository of case studies on service and process lifecycle management.

Workshop Topics: Topics to be addressed in the workshop include (but are not limited to) the following.

Process/Service: Modelling Description (including Standards) Identification Design Methodologies (Granularity) Composition Semantics Publication Discovery Dynamic Service Binding Evolution and Versioning Realization from Legacy Relation to Middleware and EAI Compliance Management Project Management Cost Estimation Testing Lifecycle Management Portfolio Management Software Reuse Relation to Component Models Software Engineering Topics for Interplay of SOA and BPM Service Interfaces for BPM models Composite Applications Service Orchestration Adaptation in Business Processes Adaptive Services Process and Service Level QoS BPM/SOA in Relation to Enterprise Architecture Role of Rules in BPM/SOA Adoption of SOA/BPM Approaches in Legacy Environments Relation to Existing Software Engineering Approaches SOA and MDA SOA and CORBA SOA, BPM and Agile methodologies BPM and Requirements Gathering The Implications of Current and Future Standardization Efforts Tool Support Other Service/Process Governance Issues Implication of SOA/BPM on Cloud Workshop Outcomes: A preliminary attempt at systematizing and collating the body of knowledge in this area. Improving alignment between industry concerns and academic research agendas in this area. The development of a research community consisting of academics and practitioners willing to collaborate on these questions.
