IEEE SOSE 2026
The 20th IEEE Service Oriented System Engineering
July 27-30, 2026 | Fukuoka, Japan
Scope
IEEE SOSE2026 conference is the 20th edition of a serious IEEE conference with focus on service oriented engineering, from architectures, techniques, tools, and languages to methodologies.Continuing the tradition of the last nineteen editions of SOSE Symposia, the 20th SOSE intends to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange the latest observations, insights, achievements, and visions in Service-Oriented System Engineering.This years’ conference is scheduled to take place in Fukuoka, Japan, from 27-30, July 2026. The conference is part of IEEE CISOSE 2026 congress.
