ESOCC 2025 – Call for Papers

Nowadays, Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing are the mainstream 
approaches to building large-scale distributed systems and delivering 
software services to end users. Cloud-native software is pervading the 
delivery of enterprise applications, which are comprised of 
microservices. Microservices can be independently developed and deployed 
by exploiting multiple heterogeneous technologies. The resulting systems 
might be polyglot service compositions that can then be shipped in 
serverful or serverless platforms (e.g., using virtualization 
technologies). These characteristics make Service-Oriented and Cloud 
Computing the natural answers to the industry’s need for flexibly 
scalable and maintainable enterprise applications that can be delivered 
through state-of-the-art methodologies like DevOps. To further support 
this, researchers and practitioners need to create methods, tools, and 
techniques to support cost-effective and secure development as well as 
the use of dependable devices, platforms, services, and Service-Oriented 
applications in the Cloud, now also considering the Cloud-IoT computing 
continuum to exploit widespread adoption of smart connected things and 
the increasing growth of their computing capabilities.

The European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC) 
is the premier conference on advances in the state-of-the-art and 
practice of Service-Oriented Computing and Cloud Computing in Europe. 
ESOCC aims to facilitate the exchange between researchers and 
practitioners in the areas of Service-Oriented Computing and Cloud 
Computing, as well as to explore the new trends in those areas and 
foster future collaborations in Europe and beyond.

Topics of Interest
ESOCC 2025 seeks original, high-quality contributions related to all 
aspects of Service-Oriented and Cloud computing. Specific topics of 
interest include, but are not limited to:
– Applications for Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing, e.g., big data, 
commerce, energy, finance, health, scientific computing, smart cities
– Blockchains for Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing
– Business aspects of Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing, e.g., 
business models, brokerage, marketplaces, costs, pricing
– Business processes, e.g., service-based workflow deployment and management
– Cloud interoperability, service, and Cloud standards,
– Cloud-IoT computing continuum, e.g., edge computing, fog computing, 
mobility computing, next generation services/IoT
– Cloud-native architectures and paradigms, e.g., microservices and DevOps
– Cloud service models, e.g., IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, DBaaS, FaaS, etc.
– Deployment, composition, and management of applications in 
Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing
– Foundations and formal methods for Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing
– Enablers for Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing, e.g., service 
discovery, orchestration, matchmaking, monitoring, and analytics
– Model-Driven Engineering for Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing
– Multi-Cloud, cross-Cloud, and federated Cloud solutions
– Requirements engineering, design, development, and testing of 
applications in Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing
– Semantic services and service mining
– Service-Oriented and Cloud-native system analysis and decomposition
– Generative AI and Machine learning approaches in the context of 
Service-Oriented and Cloud-native systems
– Service and Cloud middlewares and platforms
– Software/service adaptation and evolution in Service-Oriented and 
Cloud Computing
– Storage, computation and network Clouds
– Sustainability and energy issues in Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing
– Quality aspects (e.g., governance, privacy, security, and trust) of 
Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing
– Quality of Service (QoS) and Service-Level Agreement (SLA) for 
Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing
– Social aspects of Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing, e.g., 
crowdsourcing services, social and crowd-based Clouds
– Virtualization for Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing, e.g., 
serverless, container-based virtualization, VMs

Important Dates
Submission of abstracts: September 7, 2024 (AoE)
Submission of full papers: September 15, 2024 (AoE)
Notification to authors: November  15, 2024 (AoE)
Camera-ready versions due: December 01, 2024 (AoE)

Post proceeding opportunity
A journal special issue is planned at Springer Journal on Cluster 
Computing (Impact factor 4.4 as of 2022). Authors of selected accepted 
papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their articles.

Submissions
ESOCC 2025 invites submissions of the following kinds:
– Regular Research Papers (15 pages, including references)
– PhD Symposium (12 pages including references)
– Projects and Industry Reports (Projects and Industry Reports - 1 to 6 
pages including references, describing an ongoing EU or national 
project, or providing industrial perspectives on innovative 
applications, technologies, or methods in ESOCC’s scope)

We only accept original papers not submitted for publication elsewhere. 
The papers must be formatted according to the proceedings guidelines of 
Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series 
(http://www.springer.com/lncs).
They must be submitted to the EasyChair site at 
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esocc2025 by selecting the right 
track.
Accepted papers from all tracks will be published in the main conference 
proceedings by Springer in the LNCS series. For publication to happen, 
at least one author of each accepted paper is expected to register and 
present the work at the conference.

For further details, refer to the conference website at 
https://conf.researchr.org/home/esocc-2025 and for any further queries, 
please contact the chairs.
