Abstract

SERVICE solutions are typically comprised of rather complex and continuously evolving service-oriented systems. While such systems may be under the sole control of an individual organizational unit, more often than not, they are deployed in interorganizational environments, must comply with various corporate and/or governmental governance regulations, and much more. Security and, in particular, privacy and trust are major concerns in almost all facets of such service solutions. In order to enable individual services or collections of services to easily interact, integrate, or be composed, it is often necessary to establish, manage, maintain, adapt, and enforce various service-level agreements, privacy policies, and/or rules across service and/or organizational boundaries. These tasks become only more challenging during the life-cycle of an evolving service solution. In this Special Issue on Enforcement and Management in Services Computing, we present seven high quality research articles on enforcement and management issues that are prevalent in current and emerging service solutions with a particular focus on privacy, security, trust, provenance, service solution (design and delivery) management, and service solution integration. Following the 2009 IEEE Asia-Pacific Services Computing Conference (APSCC) in Singapore, we launched an open call for submissions to this special issue of the IEEE Transactions on Services Computing. We received more than 30 submissions; the following seven articles were selected through a rigorous review process:
