<div style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;"><b>AIM AND SCOPE</b></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">Nowadays, Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing are the primary approaches to build</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">large-scale distributed systems and deliver software services to end users. Cloud-native </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">software is pervading the delivery of enterprise applications, as they are composed of </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">(micro)services that can be independently developed and deployed by exploiting multiple </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">heterogeneous technologies. Resulting applications are polyglot service compositions that can</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">then be shipped in serverful or serverless platforms (e.g., using virtualization technologies). </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">These characteristics make Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing the natural answers for </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">fulfilling the industrys need for flexibly scalable and maintainable enterprise applications, to</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">be delivered through state-of-the-art methodologies, like DevOps. To further support this,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">researchers and practitioners need to create methods, tools and techniques to support</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">cost-effective and secure development as well as use of dependable devices, platforms,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">services and service-oriented applications in the Cloud, now also considering the Cloud-IoT </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">and Cloud Computing in Europe. ESOCC aims to facilitate the exchange between researchers</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">and practitioners in the areas of Service-Oriented Computing and Cloud Computing, as well as</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">to explore the new trends in those areas and foster future collaborations in Europe and beyond.</span></div>
