Abstract
The 2015 International Conference on Web Services (ICWS) has introduced Research Areas to better
focus the review and presentation processes of the conference.
This also enables a better view of the arc of research activities/themes for each of the areas.
This year there are seven research areas and four of them will be highlighted in this panel.
The purpose of the panel is to define the area, indicate how far it as come and project its
arc of research activity into the future.
Specifically, the following areas are highlighted in this panel:
(1) Services Security and Privacy, including trust and access control,
(2) Services Applications beyond Web, including cloud services and big data,
(3) Services Composition, including scalability and dynamicity issues and
(4) Service Oriented Software Engineering, from designing to testing.
Each of panelist, listed in alphabetical order, will highlight one of the areas.
