10th European Conference On Service-Oriented And Cloud Computing (ESOCC 2023): Fifth Call for Submissions
by georgeangelos60＠gmail.com 02 May '23

02 May '23

*** Fifth Call for Submissions *** 10th European Conference On Service-Oriented And Cloud Computing (ESOCC 2023) October 24-26, 2023, Golden Bay Beach Hotel, Larnaca, Cyprus https://cyprusconferences.org/esocc2023/ (Proceedings to be published in Springer LNCS; Journal Special Issue with Springer Computing) AIM AND SCOPE Nowadays, Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing are the primary approaches to build large-scale distributed systems and deliver software services to end users. Cloud-native software is pervading the delivery of enterprise applications, as they are composed of (micro)services that can be independently developed and deployed by exploiting multiple heterogeneous technologies. Resulting applications are polyglot service compositions that can then be shipped in serverful or serverless platforms (e.g., using virtualization technologies). These characteristics make Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing the natural answers for fulfilling the industry’s need for flexibly scalable and maintainable enterprise applications, to be delivered through state-of-the-art methodologies, like DevOps. To further support this, researchers and practitioners need to create methods, tools and techniques to support cost-effective and secure development as well as use of dependable devices, platforms, services and service-oriented applications in the Cloud, now also considering the Cloud-IoT computing continuum to exploit widespread adoption of smart connected things and the increasing growth of their computing capabilities. The European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC) is the premier conference on advances in the state-of-the-art and practice of Service-Oriented Computing and Cloud Computing in Europe. ESOCC aims to facilitate the exchange between researchers and practitioners in the areas of Service-Oriented Computing and Cloud Computing, as well as to explore the new trends in those areas and foster future collaborations in Europe and beyond. TOPICS OF INTEREST ESOCC 2023 seeks original, high-quality contributions related to all aspects of Service-Oriented and Cloud computing.
