Abstract
This special issue includes revised versions of selected papers that were presented at the Special Track
on Service-Oriented Architectures and Programming (SOAP) of the 29th Annual ACM Symposium on
Applied Computing (SAC 2014)1.
SOAP 2014 was held in Gyeongju, Korea, in March 24-28, 2014. Its proceedings were published in
a volume edited by Yookun Cho, Sung Y. Shin, Sang-Wook Kim, Chih-Cheng Hung and Jiman Hong
and published by ACM in 2014.
This special issue was motivated by the quality of the works presented at the conference and by the
increasing proliferation of service-oriented systems in our society such as e-governance, e-health and
e-commerce systems. We believe that the contributions in this volume provide a valuable example of
current research in this area. We also believe that the published works will contribute to the main aims of
the SOAP track, that is to transform Service-Oriented Programming (SOP) into a mature discipline with
both solid scientific foundations and mature software engineering development methodologies supported
by dedicated tools.
