Proceedings of the 9th Advanced Summer School on Service Oriented Computing

The 9th Advanced Summer School on Service-Oriented Computing (SummerSOC’15) continued a successful series of summer schools that started in 2007, regularly attracting world-class experts in Service-Oriented Computing to present state-of-the-art research during a week-long program organized in four thematic tracks: Formal methods for SOC; Computing in the Clouds; Elasticity in the Cloud; and Emerging Topics. The advanced summer school is regularly attended by top researchers from academia and industry as well as by graduate students from programs with international acclaim, such as the Erasmus Mundus International Master in Service Engineering.

During the morning sessions at SummerSOC renowned researchers gave invited tutorials on subjects from the themes mentioned above. The afternoon sessions were dedicated to original research contributions in these areas: these contributions have been submitted in advance as papers that had been peer-reviewed. Accepted papers were presented during SummerSOC. These papers have been edited and integrated into the volume included in this Technical Report. Furthermore, PhD students had been invited to present the progress on their theses and discuss it during poster sessions; some of the extended abstracts of these posters are included in this Technical Report, too.
