	abstract = {Specification patterns have proven to help developers to state precise system requirements, as well as formalize them by means of dedicated specification languages. Most of the past work has focused its applicability area to the specification of concurrent and real-time systems, and has been limited to a research setting. In this paper we present the results of our study on specification patterns for service-based applications (SBAs). The study focuses on industrial SBAs in the banking domain. We started by performing an extensive analysis of the usage of specification patterns in published research case studies - representing almost ten years of research in the area of specification, verification, and validation of SBAs. We then compared these patterns with a large body of specifications written by our industrial partner over a similar time period. The paper discusses the outcome of this comparison, indicating that some needs of the industry, especially in the area of requirements specification languages, are not fully met by current software engineering research.},

	abstract = {Service-oriented systems are an instantiation of open world software, which is characterized by high dynamism and decentralization. These properties strongly impact on how service-oriented systems are engineered, built, and operated, as well as verified. To address the challenges of applying verification to open service-oriented systems, in this position paper we propose to apply verification across the entire life cycle of a service and introduce a verification-oriented service life cycle.},
