Call for Papers

2005 IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2005)
===================================================================
July 12-15, 2005, Orlando, Florida, USA
Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society

http://conferences.computer.org/scc/2005
Theme: Bridge the Gap between Business Services and IT Services

Services now account for more than half of the U.S. economy. Services
Computing, as a new cross discipline, addresses how to enable IT
technology to help people perform business services more efficiently and
effectively. As we can see, Services Computing currently shapes the
processes of business modeling, business consulting, solution creation,
service delivery, and software architecture design, development and
deployment. 

The 2005 IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2005)
aims to the topics of bridging the gap between Business Services and IT
Services with a new ground breaking technology suite that includes Web
services and service-oriented architecture (SOA), business process
integration and performance management, utility/grid computing and
autonomic computing. It is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society
Technical Steering Committee for Services Computing (TSC-SC) and will be
co-located with the 2005 IEEE International Conference on Web Services
(ICWS 2005). The theme of this joint IEEE conference on SERVICES is
"Bridge the Gap between Business Services and IT Services". 

SCC 2004 was held in Shanghai, China, September 15-18, 2004. A total of
330 papers were submitted to SCC 2004. Submissions were from over 30
countries and regions. 37 were accepted as full research papers, 9 were
accepted as short papers, and 50 were accepted as special session
papers. 

SCC 2005 has the following major research tracks: Foundations of
Services Computing, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), Grid/Utility
Computing, and Business Performance Management Services and Business
Integration.

SCOPE: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the
following:

Foundations of Services Computing 

- Services science

- Service-oriented business consulting methodology and utilities 
- Services delivery 
- Servicesvalue chain and innovation lifecycle 

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) 

- Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) 
- SOA Solution Stack 
- SOA Industry Standards

Business Performance Management Services and Business Integration 

- Enterprise Modeling 
- Business process modeling, transformation and integration 
- Business performance management 
- Software architecture design, development and deployment (software as
a service) 
- Application integration services (e.g. Enterprise Service Bus) 
- Service Level Automation and Orchestration 
- Industry solution patterns 

Grid/Utility Computing 

- Grid Computing

- Utility Business Services 
 

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS: 

Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that
are not being considered in another forum. Manuscripts will be limited
to 8-10 (IEEE Proceeding style) pages and be printed on 10 or 12 size
font. Please follow the IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings Author
Guidelines to prepare your papers. Electronic submission of manuscripts
(in PDF or Word format) is required. Detailed Instructions for
electronic paper submission, panel proposals, tutorial proposals, and
review process can be found at http://conferences.computer.org/scc/2005/
 The length of the camera-ready of an accepted paper will be limited to
8 (IEEE style) pages. At least one author of each accepted paper is
required to attend the conference and present the paper. The IEEE SCC
2005 Proceedings will be collected in EI Compendex. The detailed
submission instructions can be found at SCC 2005 web site. The enhanced
version of the selected best papers published in the SCC 2005 will be
invited to publication in the International Journal of Web Services
Research (JWSR) (by Idea Group) and possibly other related journals.
Some speakers of the keynotes, panels, and tutorials will be invited to
submit articles to extend their presentations for IEEE IT Professional
Magazine. 

EVALUATION PROCESS: 

All submissions will be evaluated for originality, significance,
clarity, and soundness. Each paper will be refereed by at least two to
three researchers in the topical area. 

BEST STUDENT PAPER AWARDS: 

One Best Paper award and 1-3 Best Student Paper Awards will be presented
by SCC 2005. The first author of the best student papers should be
full-time students.
