ICWS has been a prime international forum for both researchers and
industry practitioners to exchange the latest fundamental advances in
the state of the art on Web services. ICWS aims to identify emerging
research topics and define the future of Web services. Over the past
nine years, ICWS has grown steadily, attracting over 250 participants
on a regular basis. ICWS
2010
was held on July 6-11, 2010 in Miami, Florida, USA; ICWS
2009
was held on July 7-11, 2009 in Los Angeles, California, USA; ICWS
2008
was held on September 21-26, 2008 in Beijing, China; ICWS
2007
was held on July 9-13, 2007 in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA; ICWS
2006
was held on September 18-22, 2006 in Chicago, Illinois, USA; ICWS
2005 was
held on July 11-15, 2005 in Orlando, Florida, USA; ICWS
2004 was
held on July 6-9, 2004 in San Diego, California, USA; ICWS
2003 was
held on June 23-26, 2003 in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. From technology
foundation perspective, Services Computing has become the default
discipline for the emerging modern services science.
ICWS 2011 will co-locate with the
7th
World Congress on Services (SERVICES 2011)
to explore all aspects of "Services" (Science and Technology), which
has been formally promoted by IEEE Computer Society since 2003. In
addition, ICWS 2011 will be supported by a set of keynotes, panels, and
tutorials.
The technical program of ICWS 2011 will include a refereed research
track, an application and industry track, and work-in-progress
track.
The research track will highlight foundational work
that strives to push beyond the limits of existing Web-based services
platforms and products, including experimental efforts, innovative
systems and investigations that identify weaknesses in the existing Web
services models.
The ICWS 2011 research track seeks original, UNPUBLISHED research
papers reporting substantive new work in various aspects of Web
services. Research papers MUST clearly
indicate their contributions to the field of Web-based services and
properly cite related work in the field, such as those published in the
proceedings
of
ICWS, SCC, CLOUD, SERVICES, APSCC, ECOWS, and related
journals including TSC, JWSR, and IJBPIM.
All topics
relevant to Web services are of interest, but the conference program
committee particularly encourages submissions related to the following
aspects of Web services divided in three categories:
Foundations of Web
Services
- Service-Oriented
Architecture (SOA) and
Evolutions
- Models,
methodologies, and tools (including
analysis, design, modeling, and composition)
- Publishing,
discovery, and selection (including
in mobile settings)
- Validation and
testing (including risk
assessment and tracking)
- Management and
governance (including
monitoring, QoS, privacy, trust)
- Formal methods
(including modeling and
specification, data and
process semantics, type systems, security, QoS, and other properties)
- Standards and
implementation and deployment
technologies
Web-based Services
- Web 2.0 and Web
X.0 concepts in Web services
settings
- Software As A
Service (SaaS)
- Service As
Software
- Cloud Computing
- Technologies for
building and operating massive
data centers (including middleware)
Web Services
Applications beyond Web
- Applications
(including mobile, scientific,
Grid and utility, autonomic, and embedded computing)
- Business process
management (including business
protocols,
business intelligence, service level agreements, and business licensing
models)
All submitted
manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by
at least 3
program committee members. Accepted and presented papers will appear in
the
conference proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press.
Extended versions of selected papers published in the proceedings of
ICWS 2011 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
the ICWS
Proceedings and JWSR are
included in EI Compendex. JWSR is also indexed in SCI-E.
According to Thomson Scientific, JWSR is listed in the 2008 Journal
Citation Report with an Impact Factor of 1.200. The journal ranks #47
of 99 in the Computer Science, Information Systems and ranks #37 of 86
in Computer Science, Software Engineering.
Submitted manuscripts will be limited to 8 (IEEE Proceedings style)
pages and REQUIRED to be formatted using the
IEEE Proceedings template.
Unformatted papers and papers beyond 8 pages 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 http://conferences.computer.org/icws/2011/.
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 ICWS 2011. The first author of the best student paper must be a
full-time student.
If your paper is application or solution oriented, you can consider
submitting it to ICWS 2011 Applications
and Industry Track. Manuscripts
submitted to the Research Track focusing on application or solution
descriptions may be recommended to the Applications and Industry Track
for further consideration if the session slots are available.
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.

technology.
About
the
Technical Committee on Services Computing
IEEE Computer
Society's Technical
Committee on Services Computing (TC-SVC) is
a multi-disciplinary group whose purpose is to advance and coordinate
work in the field of Services Computing carried out throughout the IEEE
in scientific, engineering, standard, literary and educational
areas.
Services
Computing has become a cross-discipline that covers the science and
technology of bridging the gap between Business Services and IT
Services. The underneath breaking technology suite includes Web
services and service-oriented architecture (SOA), cloud computing,
business consulting methodology and utilities, business process
modeling, transformation and integration. This scope of Services
Computing covers the whole lifecycle of services innovation research
that includes business componentization, services modeling, services
creation, services realization, services annotation, services
deployment, services discovery, services composition, services
delivery, service-to-service collaboration, services monitoring,
services optimization, as well as services management. The goal of
Services Computing is to enable IT services and computing technology to
perform business services more efficiently and effectively.
