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

The 11th IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2014)
=======================================================================
http://conferences.computer.org/scc/2014/

June 27 - July 2, 2014 in Anchorage, Alaska, USA.

Sponsored by the Technical Committee on Services Computing (TC-SVC), IEEE Computer Society



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. Like its predecessors, SCC 2014 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 2014 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, cloud computing, and Web 2.0.

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 orchestration, 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.

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

* Foundations of Services Computing
