The 2006 IEEE SOA Industry Summit (SOAIS 2006) is celebrating the 60th Anniversary of IEEE Computer Society! This first-ever industry summit on SOA, organized by IEEE, is intended to bridge the gap between Services Computing and Business models with an emerging suite of ground-breaking technologies that includes SOA, business process modeling, integration and management, grid/utility/autonomic computing, enterprise service bus and mobile computing such as ad-hoc networks.



***** IEEE International Services Computing Contest
URL: http://iscc.servicescomputing.org/2006/

The 2006 IEEE International Services Computing Contest (SCContest 2006, http://iscc.servicescomputing.org/2006/) will focus on using the SOA methodologies and tools to better solve business issues facing today and bringing together worldwide talented students for the industrial wave. The top six winners of the contest will be announced in the 2006 IEEE International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2006) and the IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2006) in September, 2006. In addition, the technical papers of the winners will be published in the proceedings of IEEE SCC 2006. 

The theme of SCContest 2006 is Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). It is sponsored by IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Services Computing.
