IEEE SSE 2023

Software as a service (SaaS) – a framework for encapsulating and delivering applications as services has been a great success primarily due to how it allows for cost-effective modular service requirements decomposition and modular service composition during the development, operation, maintenance, and evolution of the encapsulated software and the underlying computing platform. But software services are increasingly pressured to become more than just encapsulated code with a service interface. Demands abound for such services to be context and situation-aware, self-aware and autonomous, ultra-mobile, ultra-fine-grained, ultratrustworthy, and ultra-intelligent. Recognizing the need for a disruptive approach to enabling next generation software services, the IEEE World Congress on Services has dedicated a special symposium organized by academic and industrial leaders from the software engineering and services computing communities to chart a way forward. The International Symposium on Advances in Software Services Engineering which was held in 2021 and 2022 has concluded with a set of recommendations, which is a cross-cutting declaration and a manifesto of a new field of study named Software Service Engineering (SSE), based on the prevalent body of knowledge and professional practice of software engineering methods and tools, as well as advances in the other disciplines as described above. This International Conference on Software Services Engineering (SSE) will aim to further establish this field and to organize the participation and contributions of its constituent R&D communities. The IEEE SSE is known previously as the IEEE SCC.
