The 1st International Workshop on Service-Oriented Engineering and Optimization (SENOPT'07) will take place in Goa, India on Tuesday, December 18, 2007.

SENOPT'07 is intended to address issues in the design of scalable, configurable, and high-performance large-scale enterprise applications built on service-oriented architectures and web services technologies.

Two aspects of interest to the workshop are engineering and optimization. Engineering encompasses issues in software engineering, software architecture and frameworks, development methodologies, design principles for web services and SOA, etc., that help create scalable, rapidly deployable, and configurable applications with reusable components and abstractions. Optimization includes quantifying and measuring aspects such as ease of integration and reuse, in addition to traditional metrics such as latency, throughput, response time, etc.
