Report of the 2013 IEEE 7th International Symposium on the Maintenance and Evolution of Service-Oriented and Cloud-Based Systems (MESOCA 2013)

摘要

The 2013 IEEE 7th International Symposium on the Maintenance and Evolution of Service-Oriented and Cloud-Based Systems (MESOCA 2013) took place in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, on September 24, 2013, as a co-located event of the 29th IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance (ICSM 2013). MESOCA 2013 covered a wide range of academic and industrial experiences, brought together through one keynote, two invited presentations and eleven paper presentations, which triggered lively discussions. They approached aspects related to the entire software maintenance process, from requirements to testing, with specific solutions for Service-Oriented Architecture and Cloud Computing environments. Technical and business perspectives were discussed, including issues about optimization techniques, pre-migration evaluation of legacy software, decision analysis, energy efficiency, multi-cloud architectures and adaptability. It thus confirmed MESOCA as an ongoing forum for researchers and practitioners to identify and address the increasing challenges related to the evolution of service-provisioning systems.
