Technical Committee on Services Computing (http://tab.computer.org/tcsc)

SERVICES 2007 is going to celebrate the third gathering of IEEE International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2007) and IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2007) along with other events to explore the science and technology of Services in the field of Services Computing, which was promoted by IEEE Computer Society in 2003. From technology foundation perspective, Services Computing has become the default discipline for the emerging modern services science.

In addition to keynotes, panels, tutorials, SERVICES 2007 includes the following key events:

-IEEE Services Computing Contest 2007
The 2007 IEEE International Services Computing \Contest (SCContest 2007, http://iscc.servicescomputing.org/2007/) will focus on using the SOA methodologies and tools to better solve business issues facing today and bringing together world-wide talented students for the industry wave. The top six winners of the contest will be announced at SERVICES 2007. In addition, the technical papers of the winners will be published in the proceedings of IEEE SCC 2007.

-2007 IEEE SOA Industry Summit
The 2007 IEEE SOA Industry Summit encourages industry people to submit presentations and two-page papers instead of 8-page research reports. The accepted papers will be published in the SCC 2007 Proceedings. The theme of IEEE SOA Industry Summit is Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA).

-IEEE Services Computing Workshops
SERVIECS 2007 will include a set of workshops focusing on various themes of Services Computing and Web services. The accepted workshops will be held on September 12-13, 2007 at SERVIECS 2007. All the accepted workshop papers will be published in the proceedings of IEEE Services Computing Workshops.

-IEEE Ph.D. Student Symposium on Services Computing
SERVIECS 2007 will provide the IEEE Symposium on Services Computing as a forum encouraging Ph.D. students to report on-going work. All the accepted papers and demos will be published in the proceedings of IEEE Services Computing Workshops as a special section.

-IEEE Symposium on SOA Standards
SERVIECS 2007 will favor the 2007 IEEE Symposium on SOA Standards as a forum for international researchers and practitioners to discuss and establish standards around SOA. All the accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of IEEE Services Computing Workshops as a special section for IEEE SOA standards.

-The two flagship conferences, ICWS & SCC 2007, are strategically part of SERVICES 2007. ICWS 2007 and SCC 2007 will continue to focus on the high-quality research and industry paper sessions.
