"Service-Oriented Software Engineering is becoming the leading technology in the domain of software engineering. The [content] of Service-Oriented Software System Engineering interestingly presents a survey of several service-oriented platform technologies. Students, researchers, consultants and IS managers looking to implement SOSE in their environments will find [the book] to be exciting and promising for choosing the right systems. This monograph can serve as a tool to know the interesting and challenging developments in SOSE."

Service-Oriented Software System Engineering: Challenges and Practices fits perfectly well in the current plethora of manuscripts that address SOA and Web services in one way or the other. Since the purpose of this book is to survey the main software engineering concepts, principles and practices to deal with SOA in a most appropriate and effective way, it provides an excellent bridge between the two worlds, business and technology.

The book successfully disseminates the best practices and research results from practitioners and researchers from all over the world who have been involved in addressing challenges and solving problems related to wide variety of engineering aspects of service-orientation. In this way, the book sets up a solid foundation for the new and challenging field of service-oriented software engineering (SOSE). Excellent organization of the sections and order of the chapters within sections make a book a consistent whole with a clear and easy-to-follow storyline, which is not often the case with edited books.
