                  The 2006 International Workshop on
                 Service Oriented Software Engineering 
                             (IW-SOSE '06)

                   May 27-28, 2006, Shanghai - China

                        in conjunction with the 
   28th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2006)

                !!!DEADLINE EXTENDED TO: Febuary 9th!!!

*************************************************************************


Software engineering practitioners and researchers continue to face huge
challenges in the development, maintenance, and use of software systems.
This has been even more prominent with the new paradigm of service
oriented computing in which service integrators, developers, and
providers need to create methods, tools, and techniques to support
cost-effective development and use of dependable services and service
oriented applications. From a technological point of view, recent years
have seen the emergence of important standards enabling the Service
Oriented vision; however, the engineering of complex and dependable
service oriented software still lacks powerful, effective methods and
tools. 

The Workshop on Service Oriented Software Engineering (IW-SOSE'06) is
intended to provide a forum for presentation and discussion of a wide
range of topics related to the new paradigm of service oriented software
engineering. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers
from academia and industry, and practitioners working in the areas of
software system engineering and service-oriented computing to discuss
existing issues, recent developments, applications, methods, techniques,
experience reports, and tools to support the development and use of
service oriented systems. 

Topics of interest

The workshop seeks contributions addressing, but not limited to, the
following topics: 
      * Service oriented software system life-cycle
      * Specification of Service oriented systems
      * Requirements for service oriented systems 
      * Design and development of service oriented systems 
      * Verification, validation and testing of services and service
        oriented systems 
      * Evolution and maintenance of service oriented systems 
      * Service descriptions, discovery and composition
      * Service semantics and interoperability
      * Service deployment, binding, and monitoring
      * Resource organization and management in service oriented
        systems 
      * Service oriented business process integration and management
      * Service personalization and context-aware provision
      * Service dependability, survivability, and reliability
      * Trust, security, and privacy in service oriented systems
      * Quality of services
      * Service visualization and re-factorization

Paper Submission and Publication

All contributions will be reviewed and evaluated based on originality,
technical quality and relevance to the workshop theme. Besides research
papers, experience papers and practical reports on industrial case
studies are particularly welcome. 

Papers must be no longer than seven pages and follow the ICSE 2006 paper
format (see http://www.isr.uci.edu/icse-06/cfp/paperformat.html). Papers
can be submitted through our submission management system. 

The workshop proceedings will be published together with the ICSE
proceedings on the ACM digital library. Authors of the selected best
papers will be invited to submit a revised and extended version of their
works to a special issue of the Automated Software Engineering Journal.
Authors of accepted papers must register for the workshop. 

Important dates

      * Paper submission 1 February, 2006 (deadline extended to February
        9th!)
      * Acceptance notification 1 March, 2006
      * Camera ready copy 14 March, 2006
