*** Hybrid Workshop Announcement ***

The ICSE organizing team will support SESoS 2023 to be held as a hybrid workshop based on a moderately effective Zoom session for the duration allowing remote presenting/interaction. We encourage authors and other participants to attend SESoS and ICSE for in-person interactions in Melbourne, but authors will be allowed to register for the workshop and do virtual presentations on the workshop date (May 14th, 2023). Please check information at ICSE home.

Scope

The 11th International Workshop on Software Engineering for Systems-of-Systems and Software Ecosystems (SESoS 2023) provides researchers and practitioners with a forum to exchange ideas and experiences, analyze research and development issues, discuss promising solutions, and propose theoretical foundations for development and evolution of complex software-intensive systems, inspiring visions for the future of Software Engineering for Systems-of-Systems (SoS) and Software Ecosystems (SECO), as well as paving the way for a more structured community effort.

SoS have become increasingly complex and frequently used in highly distributed, dynamic, and open environments. SoS refer to evolving software systems in which constituent systems (themselves systems in their own right) cooperatively work to fulfill specific, complex missions, facing Software Engineering researchers and practitioners with substantial challenges. SECO have also become an important research topic, addressing social issues along with technical aspects of software development. SoS and SECO are closely related and naturally distributed in development teams. In both fields, distributed resources aim at reducing cost and reaching new Information Technology markets. Software Engineering-related problems and challenges are amplified and become more critical when SoS and SECO are analyzed together.

Following the successful editions of SESoS in 2013-2018, WDES in 2007-2018, and the joint editions of SESoS/WDES in 2017-2021, this year's workshop proceeds as SESoS 2022 and focuses on coping with challenges and opportunities on the development and evolution of complex software-intensive systems as well as on the modeling and analysis of technological, organizational, and social solutions in this context.

This workshop will be held in conjunction with the 45th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2023) in Melbourne, Australia.
