Symposium on Human and Socio-Cultural Service Oriented Computing


The primary aim of the symposium is to provide a forum that examines the technology, application and management of Service Oriented Computing for the benefit of mankind. Unlike other Software Engineering conferences and journals, where the issues are generally technical, this symposium will focus on obtaining solutions that promote the good of society.

goals are aligned.
