This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing, ESOCC 2013, held in Málaga, Spain, in September 2013. The 11 full papers presented together with 4 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 44 submissions. The volume also contains 3 papers from the industrial track. Service-oriented computing including Web services as its most important implementation platform has become the most important paradigm for distributed software development and application. The papers illustrate how cloud computing aims at enabling mobility as well as device, platform and/or service independence by offering centralized sharing of resources. It promotes interoperability, portability and security standards, and raises a completely new set of security issues.
