CALL FOR PAPERS

****************************************************************************************
The International Workshop on Cloud and Service Engineering (CSE’14)
http://cs.adelaide.edu.au/~cse2014/
July 1 - 4, 2014, Toulouse, France

Co-located with the 14th International Conference on Web Engineering (ICWE 2014)

== SCOPE ==

Services play an important role in today's ever growing Web applications. Business organizations are globally focusing on exploiting Web and Cloud services to address their needs. Web services and service-oriented architecture are believed to be one of the most important enabling technologies for cloud services. Cloud services promise several benefits such as reduced expenses and support simplicity in providing flexible and on-demand infrastructures, platforms and software as services for consumers. However, due to the highly dynamic, distributed, and non-transparent nature of cloud services, the expected benefits are not fully met. The International Workshop on Cloud and Service Engineering (CSE’14) aims to provide an international forum for researchers, developers, and practitioners from multiple disciplines to discuss their innovative ideas and share their knowledge of exploring trends in service engineering’s methodologies, enabling technologies and state-of-the-art.
