The IEEE Services Track on Software Engineering for/in the Cloud

The goal of this track is to strengthen the crossfertilization of advances from software engineering, services and cloud computing. The workshop aims at exploring, debating and increasing our understanding to the following: (i) how advances in software engineering, with emphasis on engineering requirements software architectures, architecting dependable systems, self-adaptive software architectures, economics-driven software engineering, utility computing, risk management, security software engineering and testing, Search-based software engineering can (not) benefit the case of cloud; (ii) what are the most recent innovations, trends, experiences and concerns in the field that appraise the paradigm-shift in engineering software systems as cloud services or in support of cloud infrastructures; (iii) What are the open research challenges and promising directions for software engineering FOR the cloud? And how cloud is likely to shape the research landscape of software engineering for at least the next decade? (iv) How the paradigm will shape the future of engineering software IN the cloud, i.e. benefiting from the cloud infrastructure, virtualization and economies of scale? The track aims to bridge the gap between software engineering, services, business and cloud computing communities by specifically addressing the challenges for software engineering FOR and IN the cloud. The track extends our scientific query for probing an answer for the above through successive workshops on the Future of Software engineering IN and FOR the Cloud in conjunction with IEEE Cloud, IEE ICWS, and IEEE SCC in conjunction with IEEE Congress on Services, the flagship conference on cloud and service computing.
