IEEE SCC 2008 Application and Industry Track

The industry track of SCC 2008 will be the forum for high quality presentations on innovative applications and enginneering solutions leveraging Services Computing. These include significant applications leveraging Business Strategy and Design, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), Services Science, Industry Standards Using Web services, business-to-business applications, application integration, business process integration and management, content management, composite Web services, multimedia communication, and benchmarking.

The industry track papers should generally have results from (ideally) real world development, deployment, and experiences delivering solutions of Services Computing systems whereas research track papers should generally have either theoretical results or early implementation/prototype demonstrations. Additionally, an industry track paper can be structured like an "experience report" paper where one important section is "Lessons learned" or general advices gained from the experience. Other appropriate sections are general background on the solutions, overview of the solutions, and directions for future innovation and improvements.

You are welcome to send email with any questions you might have as you prepare your submission to either of the industrial program chairs at SCC2008 AT servicescomputing.org.

Authors should submit industry papers (8 pages maximum per paper) with the same formatting rules as research papers. Like research track, 2-3 reviews of submissions will be provided to authors during notification. Acceptance criteria will be innovativeness of software, solutions, services and the potential of impact. Please send your abstract and paper using the SCC 2008 Submission Page.
