7th International Workshop on Principles of Engineering Service-Oriented and Cloud Systems (PESOS 2015)

PESOS has established itself as a forum that brings together software engineering researchers and practitioners working in the areas of service-oriented systems to discuss research challenges, new developments and applications, as well as methods, techniques, experiences, and tools to support engineering, evolution and adaptation of service-oriented systems. The technical advances and growing adoption of Cloud computing is creating new challenges for the PESOS the software services community to explore the approaches to better engineer software systems that are designed, developed, operated and governed in the context of the Cloud. We again attracted high-quality submissions on a diverse set of relevant topics such as better approaches to engineering service-based collaborative systems, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS) models of cloud computing and associated software quality attributes. PESOS 2015 will continue to be the key forum for collecting case studies and artifacts for educators and researchers in this area.
