Foundations for Efficient Web Service Selection describes the foundational framework for efficient Web service selection. It lays out a theoretical underpinning for the design of models and algorithms for searching and optimizing access to Web services.

Excerpts from Prof. Fabio Casati’s foreword:

" This excellent book looks at the search problem from a broader perspective. Instead of narrowing down on a specific aspect or subproblem of service search, it dissects and analyzes the fundamental problems in search and presents concrete, applicable solutions as well as the theoretical foundations behind them…One aspect I found particularly significant in the book is the mind shift it generates from thinking about service modeling for the sake of supporting deployment or invocation to modeling for supporting search. This design for search approach is exactly what we do when we design databases because search is what we worry about in that case, and there is no reason why this shouldn’t be the case for services if we want services to be searchable with a similar effectiveness."

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing, ICSOC 2018, held in Hangzhou, China, in November 2018.

The 63 full papers presented together with 3 keynotes in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers have been organized in the following topical sections: Microservices; Services and Processes; Service Trust and Security; Business Services and Processes; Edge + IoT Services; Social and Interactive Services; Recommendation; Service Analytics; Quality of Service; Service Engineering; Service Applications; Service Management.

This book constitutes the revised selected papers of the scientific satellite events that were held in conjunction with the 17th International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing, ICSOC 2019, held in Toulouse, France, in October 2019.

The ICSOC 2019 workshop track consisted of five workshops on a wide range of topics that fall into the general area of service computing:

- The 15th International Workshop on Engineering Service-Oriented Applications and Cloud Services (WESOACS). 4 papers over the 6 received submissions were accepted.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

- The 4th International Workshop on Adaptive Service-oriented and Cloud Applications (ASOCA). 2 papers over the 4 received submissions were accepted. Moreover, 2 invited papers were presented in this workshop.

- The 4th International IoT Systems Provisioning & Management for Context-Aware Smart Cities (ISYCC). 3 papers over the 5 received submissions were accepted. Moreover, 3 invited papers were presented in this workshop.

- The 1st edition of Towards Blockchain-Based Collaborative Enterprise (TBCE). It accepted 2 papers over the 3 received submissions.

- The 1st edition of Smart daTa integRation And Processing on Service based environments (STRAPS). 3 papers over the 7 received submissions were accepted. An additional invited paper was presented in this workshop.

The two-volume set LNCS 15404 and 15405 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing, ICSOC 2024, held in Tunis, Tunisia, during December 3–6, 2024.

The 38 full papers and 19 short papers presented in these proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from 255 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections:

Part I: Edge and IoT; Generative AI; Service Security and Privacy; and Processes and Workflows.

Part II: Cloud Computing; QoS and SLA; Microservice; Service Recommendation; Emerging Technologies and Approaches; Service Composition; Blockchain; and Industry Papers.
