Introduction

MESOCA is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year! Submit a paper and join us as we reflect on a decade of maintaining and evolving service-oriented software and cloud-based environments. This year’s theme is “Architecting, Maintaining and Evolving Complex and Data Intensive Systems for a Cyber-Physical World”.

The IEEE 10th Symposium on the Maintenance and Evolution of Service-Oriented Systems.

The current approach to this increased integration involves service- and cloud-oriented computing.  From a maintenance and evolution perspective, SOA is confronted with two important challenges: deployed service-oriented systems will have to be maintained and evolved, and legacy systems will continue to use service-orientation to make their legacy functionality available to other systems and applications. Cloud computing brings additional challenges such as privacy, security and lock-in, and offers the developer many deployment choices: private, public or hybrid deployments. Of course, SOA and Cloud Computing also offer extensive support to analyze, maintain, and evolve legacy systems. Services defining fundamental functionality in e.g. reverse engineering, software analysis, and quality improvement can be orchestrated to provide reasonable and adaptive tool chains, allowing the software development process itself to benefit from evolving software, applications, and systems.

Submission Topics

These include, but are not limited to:

  • Tools, techniques and methods to support migration to service-oriented architecture and cloud computing environments
  • Tools, techniques and methods to support maintenance and evolution of service-oriented architecture and cloud computing systems
  • Tools, techniques and methods applying service oriented and cloud-based systems to software evolution
  • Evolution patterns of service-oriented and cloud-based systems
  • Transition patterns to service-oriented and cloud environments
  • Architectures and Frameworks for Cyber-Physical Systems
  • Next generation cloud based intelligent systems and applications
  • Governance to support system evolution in service-oriented and cloud environments
  • Leverage of service-orientation best practices in cloud environments
  • Process models on the migration to service-oriented and cloud-based systems and/or on the maintenance of service-oriented and cloud-based systems
  • Case studies of migration to service-oriented and cloud environments
  • Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) for migration to SOA and cloud
  • Reengineering, identifying, and extracting legacy code for creating services and their implementation
  • Large-scale testing for service-oriented and cloud-based systems
  • Methods, tools and techniques to measure and ensure the Quality of Services in cloud-deployed systems
  • Methods, tools and techniques to achieve adaptation and automation in cloud-deployed systems

Guidlines

All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed (single blind) by at least three program committee members. Papers must not have been previously published or concurrently submitted elsewhere. Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings that will be published in the MESOCA 2016 proceedings, which will be available at the IEEE Digital Library. Papers are indexed by Scopus, ISI, and others. Papers must be submitted online EasyChair.
