Apologies for cross-postings. Please send to interested colleagues and students Call for Papers 2005 IEEE International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2005) ============================================================== July 12-15, 2005, Orlando, Florida, USA Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society http://conferences.computer.org/icws/2005 Theme: Bridge the Gap between Business Services and IT Services The 2005 IEEE International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2005) is the THIRD year of ICWS focusing on Web Services. The long-term goal of ICWS is to build up a reputable and respectable conference for the international community. ICWS is a forum for researchers and industry practitioners to exchange information regarding advancements in the state of the art and practice of Web Services, as well as to identify the emerging research topics and define the future of Web Services computing. ICWS 2005 is sponsored by IEEE Computer Society Technical Steering Committee (a.k.a. Technical Community) for Services Computing (TSC-SC) and will be co-located with the 2005 IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2005). The theme of this joint IEEE conference on SERVICES is "Bridge the Gap between Business Services and IT Services". ICWS 2004 was held in San Diego, California, July 6-9, 2004. A total of 230 papers were submitted to ICWS in 2004, 66 were accepted as full research papers. ICWS 2004 had 14 research sessions, 4 industry sessions, 5 tutorials, 4 panels, and 3 poster paper sessions. ICWS 2004 had attracted about 250 registered participants from 22 countries and regions. ICWS 2003 and ICWS 2004 have proven to be an excellent catalyst for research & collaboration, and we fully expect that ICWS 2005 will continue this trend. The program of ICWS 2005 will continue to feature research papers with a wide range of topics, focusing on difference aspects of IT services. Some of the topics include Web Services specifications and enhancements, Web Services discovery, Web Services security, Web Services based applications, Web Services standards and technologies, Web Services applications and solutions, Web Services realizations, semantic Web Services, and other emerging technologies or solutions. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings in hardcopy and on-line version by the IEEE Computer Society. The full version of the selected best papers published in the ICWS 2005 will be invited to publication in the International Journal of Web Services Research (JWSR) (by Idea Group) and possibly other related journals. The ICWS 2005 Proceedings and JWSR have both been selected to be included in EI Compendex. SCOPE: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Mathematical foundations of Web Services - Data management issues in Web Services - Frameworks for building Web Service applications - Composite Web Service creation and enabling infrastructures (e.g., workflow technology) - Web Service composition, orchestration, and choreography - Web Services modeling & design - Web Services discovery & selection - Semantic Web, ontologies, and Web Services - Dynamic invocation mechanisms for Web Services - Contractual issues between provider and consumer of Web Services - Version management in Web Services - Customization of Web Services - Web Services architecture - Web Services negotiation & agreement - UDDI and SOAP enhancements - Web Services and process management - Trust, security & privacy in Web Services - Scalability and performance of Web Services - Web Services standards and technologies - Automatic computing for Web Services infrastructure - Wireless web, mobility, and Web Services - Web Service based Grid Computing and peer to peer computing - Web Services based applications for e-commerce - Quality of service for Web Services - Multimedia applications using Web Services - Economics and pricing models of utility computing and Web Services - Resource management of Web Services - Solution management for Web Services - Adoption of Web Services by organizations - Case studies on Web Services based applications - Analysis, testing, and verification of Web 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.
