Service oriented computing is an emerging cross-disciplinary paradigm for distributed computing that is changing the way software applications are designed, architected, delivered and consumed.

The Sixth International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing follows the five previous editions in Vienna, Austria (2007) , Chicago, USA (2006), Amsterdam ,The Netherlands (2005) , New York City, USA (2004) and Trento, Italy (2003) .

ICSOC´08 builds on the success of previous conferences in this series, establishing bridges between established and new service research and applications communities and fostering cross-community scientific excellence. This year, we are focusing on building bridges with the business community because of its ongoing contribution to the emerging field of Services Science.
