[February 7, 2021] The organizing committee of IEEE SERVICES has decided to expand the page limit of paper submission, to encourage solid work and sufficient literature references. Be more specific, every full paper submission can include up to 10 pages for the main text (including all text, footnotes, figures, tables and appendices) with additional pages for appropriate references. Detailed information can be found in CFP pages of the SERVICES congress and comprising conferences.

[February 1, 2021] The organizing committee of IEEE SERVICES has decided to add a “Rebuttal Phase” at the late time period of the paper review process. This new rebuttal phase will grant authors an opportunity to submit their arguments in response to the reviews, mainly making clarifications and answering key questions raised by the pc members. Detailed information and format will be published soon.

[January 20, 2021] The current conditions of the global COVID-19 pandemic make it impossible to ensure safety to hold a physical conference in Chicago in September 2021. We are very regretful to announce that the Congress 2021 and its co-located events will be moved fully online as a virtual event. It is a very difficult decision, but we believe it is the right one going fully online. Our Organizing Committee has been working very hard behind the scenes in making the 2021 edition a safe and successful event. All deadlines will remain the same. More information will be announced soon.

[November 15, 2020] The websites of the four co-located flagship conferences are up. Please visit and view the calls for papers:
IEEE CLOUD
IEEE ICWS
IEEE SCC
IEEE SMDS

[November 11, 2020] IEEE 2020 SERVICES Congress concluded as a successful online event. Please view our promotion video for 2021, and feel welcome to distribute the flyer for the 2021 Call for Papers. See you next September in Chicago!
