SCOPE

Service oriented software engineering and cloud software engineering have emerged to address software as a set of services which deal with user needs. At the same time, we have seen a large number of downfalls due to software failures. This was in part due to the lack of adopting well designed software engineering practices. Now, there is a need to revise these practices given the emergence of service and cloud computing, which will revolutionize the next generation of software engineering. This conference offers a venue for presenting new approaches, processes, techniques, technologies and applications based on the paradigm of Cloud Software Engineering.

Cloud Software Engineering research is vibrant and encompasses many areas, like knowledge sharing, requirements engineering, organisational and business processes, project management, web and computational services, run-time re-configurability, integration, testing, componentisation and many others.
