This book constitutes the proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing, ICSOC 2017, held in malaga, Spain, in November 2017.

The 33 full papers presented together with 20 short papers and 4 keynotes in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 179 submissions.

The selected papers cover a wide variety of important topics in the area of service-oriented computing, including foundational issues on service discovery and service-systems design, business process modelling and management, economics of service-systems engineering, as well as services on the cloud, social networks, the Internet of Things (IoT), and data analytics.

This book provides a cutting edge analysis of the rapid rise of China’s network society and reviews recent key developments within China’s internet economy, notably the concepts of “Lucky Money” and E-Business on Wechat, and Crowd-Funding Platforms. It focuses on drawing out the sociological impact of these economic developments, examining among others the bearing of the decentralization of e-business in rural areas. It offers a vital sociological perspective on the development of China’s internet society and how it affects social and professional relations, examining the shift from the traditional Red Envelope Giving Culture to Digital Red Envelope, micro charity 2.0 as well as the Rise of Internet Crowd Funding in China. Combining an up to date analysis of the current state of play of China’s internet society with expertise in the rapidly changing landscape of China’s social media, this book provides key insights into how technology impacts on the communication and movement of population in China, in both social and economic spheres.
