Apologies for cross-postings. Please send it to interested colleagues and students. Thanks! Call for Papers: 12th IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2015) ==================================================================================== June 27 - July 2, 2015, New York, USA http://conferences.computer.org/scc/2015/ Sponsored by the Technical Committee on Services Computing (TC-SVC), IEEE Computer Society SCC 2015 program committee invites you to contribute to the eleventh edition of SCC, to be held on June 27 - July 2, 2015 in New York City, 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. Like its predecessors, SCC 2015 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 2015 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 - Services Science - Service Modeling and Implementation - Service Delivery, Deployment and Maintenance Service - Value Chains and Innovation Lifecycle - Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Industry Standards and Solution Stacks - Service-based Grid/Cloud/Autonomic Computing - Services Computing in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) - Service Level Agreements (SLAs) Negotiation, Automation and Orchestration - Service Security, Privacy and Trust - Quality of Services (QoS) and Cost of Services (CoS) - Ontology and Semantic Web for Services Computing - Services Repository and Registry - Formal Methods for SOA - Service Discovery - Services Engineering Practices and Case Studies Services-Centric Business Models - Business Service Analysis, Strategy, Design, Development and Deployment - Service-Oriented Business Consulting Methodology and Utilities - Intra- or Inter- Enterprise for Business-to-Business Service Control - Service Revenue Models and Utility Computing, e.g., Fee-for-Transaction and Fee-for-Service - Service Strategic Alliance and Partners - Ontology and Business Service Rules - Trust and Loyalty in Services-Centric Business Models - Cultural, Language, Social and Legal Obstacles in Services-Centric Business Models - Commercialization of Services Computing Technologies - Industry Service Solution Patterns - Service Interaction Patterns - Case Studies in Services-Centric Business Models (e.g., healthcare, financial, aviation, etc) Business Process Integration and Management - Mathematical Foundation of Business Process Modeling, Integration and Management - Business Process Modeling Methodology and Integration Architecture - Collaborative Business Processes - Extended Business Collaboration (eBC) Architecture and Solutions - Business Process-Based Business Transformation and Transition - Enabling Technologies for Business Process Integration and Management - Performance Management and Analysis for Business Process Integration and Management - Security, Privacy and Trust in Business Process Management - Return On Investment (ROI) of Business Process Integration and Management - Requirements Analysis of Business Process Integration and Management - Enterprise Modeling and Application Integration Services, e.g. Enterprise Service Bus - Monitoring of Services, Process Mining, and Quality of Service - Case Studies in Business Process Integration and Management - SOA Tools, Solutions and Services High Assurance Services - Service-level Fault-tolerance - Robustness and Resilience - Availability and Reliability - Trusted and Reliable Services - SOA Tooling Practices and Examples - Systematic Design Method for SOA Solutions - SOA based Consulting Services and Design Services - SOA Delivery Excellence - Services for Sustainability and Everyday Living The technical program of SCC 2015 will include a research track, an application track, and a short paper track. The research track will highlight foundational work that strives to push beyond the limits of existing business services platforms and products, including experimental efforts, innovative systems and investigations that identify weaknesses in the existing services computing technology. All submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 program committee members. Accepted and presented papers from all SCC tracks will appear in the conference proceedings published by IEEE. Extended versions of selected research track papers will be invited for potential publication in the IEEE Transactions on Services Computing (TSC), International Journal of Web Services Research (JWSR), and International Journal of Business Process Integration and Management (IJBPIM). Both TSC and JWSR are indexed by SCI and EI. SCC Proceedings are EI indexed. Submitted research and application track manuscripts will be limited to 8 (IEEE Proceedings style) pages and REQUIRED to be formatted using the IEEE Proceedings template in WORD or Latex Package. Unformatted papers and papers beyond the page limit will not be reviewed. Electronic submission of manuscripts (in PDF or Word format) is required. Detailed instructions for electronic paper preparation and submission, panel proposals, tutorial proposals, workshop proposals, and review process can be found at conference website. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register to the conference and present the paper. One Best Paper award and one Best Student Paper award will be granted at SCC 2015. The first author of the best student paper must be a full-time student. Important Dates --------------- Research Track: Abstract Submission Deadline: January 31, 2015 Full Paper Submission Due Date: February 14, 2015 Decision Notification (Electronic): March 14, 2015 Accepted Paper Camera-Ready Copy to the IEEE FTP Site Due Date: April 11, 2015 Application Track: Abstract Submission Deadline: January 31, 2015 Full Paper Submission Due Date: February 14, 2015 Decision Notification (Electronic): March 14, 2015 Accepted Paper Camera-Ready Copy to the IEEE FTP Site Due Date: April 11, 2015 Short Paper Track: Abstract Submission Deadline: January 31, 2015 Full Paper Submission Due Date: February 14, 2015 Decision Notification (Electronic): March 14, 2015 Accepted Paper Camera-Ready Copy to the IEEE FTP Site Due Date: April 11, 2015 Review Policy ------------- IEEE Policy and professional ethics require 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.
