This volume includes the proceedings of all the ?ve workshops that were held as part of the International Conference on Service-Oriented Systems 2007 (ICSOC 2007): – Mashups 2007: First International Workshop on Web APIs and Services Mashups – NFPSLA-SOC 2007: Workshop on Non-Functional Properties and Service Level Agreements in Service-Oriented Computing – SeMSoc 2007: Second International SeMSoC Workshop Business-Oriented Aspects Concerning Semantics and Methodologies in Service-Oriented Computing – TSOA 2007: First International Workshop on Telecom Service-Oriented Architectures – WESOA2007:ThirdInternationalWorkshoponEngineeringService-Oriented Applications: Analysis, Design and Composition These workshops o?ered interesting presentations and discussions on a wide rangeofhottopicsinservice-orientedcomputing:developmentofmashups,m- agement of non-functional properties and service level agreements, engineering approaches, and semantic methodologies. Also, the crucial application domain of telecom services and service architectures was investigated. The ?ve workshops were selected out of eight submissions. During the - lection process we encouraged the merging of workshop proposals with similar scope. We are grateful to all workshop organizers. Without their valuable ideas and support the workshop sessions at ICSOC as well as this volume would not have been possible. We also thank all authors for their active participation in the events, for the quality of their papers, and for being patient with us during the long process of compilation of this volume.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing, ICSOC 2007. The 30 revised full papers and 14 short papers are organized in topical sections on service deployment, business process design, service discovery, quality of service support, testing and validation, service assembly, service properties, service modeling, SOA composition/experience/runtime/governance and QoS and composite service support.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed papers presented at five international workshops held in conjunction with the 5th International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing, ICSOC 2007, in Vienna, Austria, in September 2007. The five workshops were selected out of eight submissions. The volume contains papers presented at the First International Workshop on Web APIs and Services Mashups (Mashups 2007), the Workshop on Non-Functional Properties and Service Level Agreements in Service-Oriented Computing (NFPSLA-SOC 2007), the 2nd International Workshop on Business-Oriented Aspects Concerning Semantics and Methodologies in Service-Oriented Computing (SeMSoC 2007), the First International Workshop on Telecom Service-Oriented Architectures (TSOA 2007) and the Third International Workshop on Engineering Service-Oriented Applications (WESOA 2007). The papers offer a wide range of hot topics in service-oriented computing: development of mashups; management of non-functional properties and service level agreements; engineering approaches; semantic methodologies; and telecom services and service architectures.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing, ICSOC 2006, held in Chicago, IL, USA, December 2006. Coverage in this volume includes service mediation, grid services and scheduling, mobile and P2P services, adaptive services, data intensive services, XML processing, service modeling, service assembly, experience with deployed SOA, and early adoption of SOA technology.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing, ICSOC 2008, held in Sydney, Australia, in December 2008. The 32 revised full papers and 20 short papers of the research track presented together with 6 industrial papers, 6 demonstration papers of the industrial track, and the abstracts of 4 keynote lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 184 submissions. The papers present original research in the field of service oriented computing, from theoretical and foundational results to empirical evaluations as well as practical and industrial experiences. Topics addressed include services foundations, business service modelling, integrating systems of systems using services, service engineering, service assembly, service management, SOA runtime, quality of service, service applications (grid, e-science, government, etc.), as well as business and economical aspects of services.
