Advancements in Service-Oriented Software

The aim of the special issue is to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to showcase their work and share their experiences on the application of service-oriented software in various domains. The special issue aims to cover a wide range of topics related to the practical applications of microservices, service orientation, and cloud computing.

Submission Guidelines: Authors should prepare their manuscript according to the Instructions for Authors available from the Cluster Computing website. Authors should submit through the online submission site at Cluster Computing and select “Advancements in Service-Oriented Software" when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process. Submitted papers should present original, unpublished work, relevant to the topics of the special issue. Papers extending previously published conference papers are acceptable, as long as the journal submission provides a significant contribution beyond the conference paper, and the overlap is described clearly at the beginning of the journal submission. All submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of relevance, significance of contribution, technical quality, scholarship, and quality of presentation, by at least three independent reviewers. It is the policy of the journal that no submission, or substantially overlapping submission, be published or be under review at another journal or conference at any time during the review process. Final decisions on all papers are made by the Editor in Chief.
