The IEEE International Workshop on the
Future of Software Engineering FOR and IN
the Cloud, Washington DC, USA, one day July
9, 2011
in
conjunction with IEEE ICWS 2011, SCC2011, CLOUD 2011, and SERVICES 2011
Practitioners are very likely to beg,
borrow and steal from software engineering in-the-small
to benefit the case of software engineering for the ultra-large-scale, as it is the case of the
cloud. Though the fundamentals of
engineering software in both paradigms exhibit resemblance, software engineering for the cloud require
novel approaches, which address the
interplay between technical, economics-driven considerations and shifts
software engineering towards a
utility-based engineering for software-, infrastructure-, data storage and/or platform- as services. The goal of
this workshop is to address these gaps by strengthening the cross-fertilization of advances from software
engineering, services and cloud computing. The workshop will explore, debate
and increase our understanding to the
following: (i) how recent advances in
software engineering (with an emphasis on software architectures, architecting dependable systems, self-adaptive software
architectures, economics-driven software engineering, risk management, security
software engineering, green software engineering
and testing) can(not) relate to the case of cloud; (ii) what are the most
recent innovations, trends, results,
experiences and concerns in the field that
appraise the paradigm-shift in engineering software systems as cloud services or cloud infrastructure; (iii) what are
the open research directions for software
engineering FOR the cloud?; (iv) how the
paradigm will shape the future of engineering software IN the cloud i.e. benefiting from the cloud infrastructure,
virtualization and economics of scale.
The workshop thus aims to bridge the gap between
software engineering, services, businesses
and cloud computing communities by specifically addressing the challenges for
software engineering FOR and IN the cloud.

Submission
Information
Authors are invited to submit full papers (about 8
pages) or short papers (about 4 pages) as
per IEEE 8.5 x 11 manuscript guidelines (http://www.computer.org/
Papers will be reviewed by three program committee
members and will be selected depending on
their originality, quality and relevance to the workshop. Each accepted paper will have to be presented
in person by (one of) the author(s). To
foster lively and productive discussions, each
author will be encouraged to present open questions to the forum and one or two main statements for discussion at the
workshop brainstorming session. We aim to
arrange for a special thematic journal
issue, featuring the best papers presented in the workshop for this year. We also plan to have a book on the theme.
