Modeling to support communication and engineering of service-oriented software

Abstract

Our research focus is on social and sustainable Service-Oriented software engineering. From a social point of view, understanding social structures in Service-Oriented software engineering can lead to better software (as phrased in Conway's law). From a sustainable point of view, notational, methodological and techological support for Service-Oriented software engineering should aim at retaining past investments (in e.g. legacies), simplifying development processes and addressing global problems like the increasing need for remote collaboration, and the increasing scarcity of energy resources hence demanding for energy efficient solutions.
