::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: CALL FOR PAPERS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

The 7th IEEE 2010 International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2010)
===========================================================================
Sponsored by the Technical Committee on Services Computing (TC-SVC), IEEE Computer
Society

http://conferences.computer.org/scc/2010
July 5-10, 2010, Miami, Florida, USA


Services account for a major part of the IT industry today. Companies increasingly
like to focus on their core expertise area and use IT services to address all their
peripheral needs. Services Computing is a new science which aims to study and better
understand the foundations of this highly popular industry. It covers the science
and technology of leveraging computing and information technology to model, create,
operate, and manage business services. Since 2004, the International Conference on
Services Computing (SCC) has provided a platform for practitioners to present the
latest advances in services science. Like its predecessors, SCC 2010 will contribute
in building the pillars of this important science and shaping the future of Services
Computing.

Services Computing currently shapes the thinking of business modeling, business
consulting, solution creation, service delivery, and software architecture design,
development and deployment. The global nature of Services Computing leads to many
opportunities and challenges and creates a new networked economic structure for
supporting different business models. SCC 2010 will help in bridging the gap between
business services and information technology by driving research in technologies such
as service-oriented architecture (SOA), business process integration and management,
service engineering and grid and cloud computing and Web 2.0. SCC 2010 will have the
following major tracks: Foundations of Services Computing, Services Computing Practices
and Applications and Business Aspects of Services Computing.

SCC 2010 is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Services
Computing. SCC 2004 was held in Shanghai, China, September 15-18, 2004 . SCC 2005 was
co-located with ICWS 2005 on July 11-15, 2005 in Orlando, Florida, USA. SCC 2006 was
co-located with ICWS 2006 on September 18-22, 2006 in Chicago, Illinois, USA. SCC 2007
was co-located with ICWS 2007 on July 9-13, 2007 in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. SCC 2008
was held on July 8-11, 2008, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. SCC 2009 was held on September 21-25,
2009, Bangalore, India. The SCC Proceedings has been included in EI Compendex.

The International Conference on Services Computing (SCC) covers the whole lifecycle of
innovation research and enabling technologies, which includes enterprise modeling,
business consulting, solution creation, services delivery, services orchestrtaion,
services optimization, services management, services marketing, services delivery and
cloud computing, service-oriented architecture (SOA), business process integration and
management, and Web services technologies and standards.

conferences or journals without review. Manuscripts will be limited to 8 (IEEE
Proceeding style: the IEEE Proceedings template in Word Format and IEEE Latex Style)
pages and be printed on 10 or 11 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. Please visit the latest Services
Computing Taxonomy to identify your innovation areas when you prepare your papers.

Detailed Instructions for electronic paper submission, panel proposals, tutorial
proposals, and review process can be found at the submission page. At least one
author of each accepted paper is required to attend the conference and present the
paper. Only the accepted and presented papers will be published in the CD-ROM and
On-line versions of the Proceedings of IEEE 2010 International Conference on Services

2010. The first author of the best student papers should be a full-time student.


Review and Presentation Policy

"IEEE Policy and professional ethics requires that referees treat the contents of
papers under review as privileged information not to be disclosed to others before
publication. It is expected that no one with access to a paper under review will
make any inappropriate use of the special knowledge, which that access provides.
Contents of abstracts submitted to conference program committees should be regarded
as privileged as well, and handled in the same manner. The Conference Publications
Chair shall ensure that referees adhere to this practice. Organizers of IEEE
conferences are expected to provide an appropriate forum for the oral presentation
and discussion of all accepted papers.

An author, in offering a paper for presentation at an IEEE conference, or accepting
an invitation to present a paper, is expected to be present at the meeting to deliver
the paper. In the event that circumstances unknown at the time of submission of a paper
preclude its presentation by an author, the program chair should be informed on time,
and appropriate substitute arrangements should be made. In some cases it may help reduce
no-shows for the Conference to require advance registration together with the submission
of the final manuscript."
