Web services and Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) have become thriving areas of academic research, joint university/industry research projects, and novel IT products on the market. SOC is the computing paradigm that uses Web services as building blocks for the engineering of composite, distributed applications out of the reusable application logic encapsulated by Web services. Web services could be considered the best-known and most standardized technology in use today for distributed computing over the Internet.

This book is the second installment of a two-book collection covering the state-of-the-art of both theoretical and practical aspects of Web services and SOC research and deployments. Advanced Web Services specifically focuses on advanced topics of Web services and SOC and covers topics including Web services transactions, security and trust, Web service management, real-world case studies, and novel perspectives and future directions.

The editors present foundational topics in the first book of the collection, Web Services Foundations (Springer, 2013). Together, both books comprise approximately 1400 pages and are the result of an enormous community effort that involved more than 100 authors, comprising the world’s leading experts in this field.

This book constitutes revised papers from the eight International Workshops held at the 16th International Conference on Business Process Management, BPM 2018, in Sydney, Australia, in September 2018:

The 45 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 90 submissions.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of Current Trends in Web Engineering, ICWE Workshops 2015 which was held in June 2015 in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The 16 revised full papers were selected form 23 submissions and cover topics on natural language processing for informal text, pervasive Web technologies, trends and challenges, and mining in the social Web.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of theFirst International Rapid Mashup Challenge, RMC 2015, held on June 23, 2015, inRotterdam, The Netherlands, in conjunction with the 15th International Conferenceon Web Engineering, ICWE 2015.

The 2015 edition of the challenge is the firstinstallment of a series of challenges that aim to engage researchers andpractitioners in a competition for the best mashup approach. The 6 thoroughlyreviewed contributions contained in this volume are extended versions of theinitial proposals that served the authors to express their interest toparticipate in the challenge. The initial proposals have been used by thechallenge organizers to select participants based on the interestingness andmaturity of the proposals.

This book constitutes revised selected papers from the Second International Rapid Mashup Challenge, RMC 2016, held in Lugano, Switzerland in June 2016. The 6 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 8 submissions. They are post-challenge extensions of the selected short participation proposals. The 2016 edition of the Challenge is the second installment of a series of challenges that aim to engage researchers and practitioners in a competition for the best mashup approach. 

Nowadays, Web applications are almost omnipresent. The Web has become a platform not only for information delivery, but also for eCommerce systems, social networks, mobile services, and distributed learning environments. Engineering Web applications involves many intrinsic challenges due to their distributed nature, content orientation, and the requirement to make them available to a wide spectrum of users who are unknown in advance. The authors discuss these challenges in the context of well-established engineering processes, covering the whole product lifecycle from requirements engineering through design and implementation to deployment and maintenance. They stress the importance of models in Web application development, and they compare well-known Web-specific development processes like WebML, WSDM and OOHDM to traditional software development approaches like the waterfall model and the spiral model. .
