IEEE Services 2022 Plenary Panel
Software Services Engineering
Plenary Panel: Software Services Engineering
Date/Time: Friday July 15
10:20 - 11:40 CET (Barcelona)
Industry observers with keen eyes have found that services computing and software engineering are becoming more and more intertwined. That is, services computing professionals and software engineers have been finding ways to intersect theories and practices that used to be more of a concern for the other camp. This emerging interdisciplinary field of study is hereby termed Software Services Engineering (SSE).
Generally speaking, Services Computing grew out of the notion of “Software as a Service” that provides a general production framework to encapsulate the underlying software functionalities meeting both functional and nonfunctional requirements – two key concerns of Software Engineering. Central to SSE, this general production framework allows for modular service requirements decomposition and modular service composition during the development, enforces end-to-end assurance of service quality, and supports the operation, maintenance and evolution of the encapsulated software functionalities instantiated as services. We have also observed that next generation of software services will become more context/situation-aware, self-aware and autonomous, ultra-mobile, ultra-fine-grained, ultra-trustworthy and driven by behaviors observed and captured from both the environment and humans of concern.
In this panel, audience will be informed of and, hopefully, intrigued by a myriad of emerging research trends and interesting topics pertaining to SSE.
