Abstract registration deadline | May 13, 2019 |
Submission deadline | May 20, 2019 |
This workshop aims at bringing together contributions by scientists and practitioners to shed light on the development of scientific concepts, technologies, engineering techniques and tools for a service-based society. In particular, the focus is on Microservices, i.e., the use of services beyond the traditional cross-organizational B2B approach and the implementation of the model inside of applications, scaling in the small the concepts previously seen in the large. In Microservices, each component of a software is a service with the related issues of scalability and distribution of responsibility.
This edition of MSE will be affiliated with TOOLS 50+1 conference (http://tools2019.innopolis.ru/) taking place near Kazan, in Russia, which continues a tradition of events going back 50 conferences from 1989 to 2012 that encompassed all innovative aspects of software technology.
Topics of interest include (but not limited to):
- Design and implementation of Service-oriented Architectures and Microservices
- Software engineering techniques for Microservices
- Requirements Engineering for Microservices
- Model-Driven Engineering for Microservices
- Security in Microservices
- Formal models and analyses of Microservice systems
- Validation and Verification techniques for Microservices
- Coordination models for Microservices
- Empirical studies on services and Microservices
- Programming languages for Microservices
- Static analysis of Microservices
- Testing of Microservice systems
- Migration to Microservices
- Adaptation and Evolution of Microservices
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The workshop welcomes research papers, experience papers and tool presentations; nevertheless, papers describing novel research contributions and innovative applications are of particular interest. Contributions can be:
-
Regular papers (maximum 15 pages): In this category fall those contributions which propose novel research contributions, address challenging problems with innovative ideas, or offer practical contributions in the application of FM and SE approaches for building future applications in the field of Microservices. Regular papers should clearly describe the situation or problem tackled, the relevant state of the art, the position or solution suggested and the potential benefits of the contribution.
-
Short papers (maximum 8 pages): This category includes tool demonstrations, position papers, industrial experiences and case-studies, well-pondered and sufficiently documented visionary papers. Authors of papers reporting industrial experiences are strongly encouraged to make their experimental results available for use by reviewers. Similarly, case-study papers should describe significant case-studies and the complete development should be made available for use by reviewers. Tool demonstration papers should explain enhancements made in comparison to previously published work. Authors of demonstration papers should make their tool available for use by reviewers.
Papers will be submitted as PDF files, using the SPRINGER LNCS proceedings format (see http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0), with a page limit of 15 pages. Short paper should be limited to 8 pages.
Proceedings will be published as a volume of the Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science.
By submitting a paper, the authors confirm that in case of acceptance, at least one author will attend the workshop to present the work. Papers will be peer reviewed on the basis of originality, readability, relevance to themes, soundness, and overall quality.
