The WESOA series of workshops addresses challenges that arise from unique characteristics of service-oriented applications with a focus on principles, methodologies and tools that support the entire service-oriented software development lifecycle.

Topics of general interest include software service development lifecycle methodologies, service-oriented enterprise architectures, service engineering for cloud computing environments, models as well as languages and methods for service-oriented analysis and design.

This year, the WESOACS17 workshop adds a specific focus on recent engineering practices of applications and services for cloud environments that follow so called DevOps principles. Topics of specific interest include agile processes, microservices, continuous delivery, container and cloud technologies, as well as related topics.

WESOACS17 continues a successful series of ICSOC workshops. Over the past decade, WESOA has demonstrated its relevance by attracting a large number of contributors and participants from academia as well as industry, and producing high-quality papers that were published by Springer LNCS series.
