How to compose and orchestrate services, as well as how to integrate and adapt them, has thus become a core issue in such distributed, service-oriented systems and applications. Theoretical and practical approaches to modelling and analysing such systems and applications would simplify their development; enable their validation and evaluation; and enhance their interoperability, reusability, and maintainability. The goal of this Special Issue is to allow researchers and practitioners to discuss common problems and present novel solutions in the aforementioned fields. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#043659'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#043659'>Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#043659'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#043659'>* Cloud/fog/edge computing, and large-scale distributed systems;<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#043659'>* Design principles, architectural smells, and architectural refactoring of service-oriented systems and applications;<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#043659'>* Resource and application management in next-gen Cloud-IoT systems;<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#043659'>* Dynamic service-oriented architectures and self-* systems and application;<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#043659'>* Fault localization and resilience in service-oriented systems and applications;<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#043659'>* Formal methods, models, and techniques for service-oriented systems and applications;<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#043659'>* Microservices;<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#043659'>* Model-driven design and development of peer-to-peer systems and blockchains;<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#043659'>* Programming languages for service-oriented systems and applications;<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#043659'>* Reverse engineering for service-oriented systems and applications;<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#043659'>* Security in service-oriented systems and applications;<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#043659'>* Service composition, coordination, orchestration, integration, and adaptation;<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#043659'>* Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA);<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#043659'>* Support for business processes—from design- to run-time;<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#043659'>* QoS monitoring, modelling, and analysis in service-oriented systems and applications;<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#043659'>* Verification and testing solutions for service-oriented systems and applications.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#043659'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#043659'>Guest Editors<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#043659'>Dr. Jacopo Soldani, University of Pisa, Italy [http://pages.di.unipi.it/soldani]<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#043659'>Dr. Stefano Forti, University of Pisa, Italy [http://pages.di.unipi.it/forti/]<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
