Call for Participation

The inaugural IEEE International Symposium on Young Experts in Services Computing (YESC) aims to facilitate the communication and collaboration among worldwide students and young professionals in services computing and to curate rising stars in services computing. It is a cross-conference event at IEEE SERVICES 2021. It is sponsored jointly by IEEE SERVICES, IEEE Technical Committee on Services Computing (TCSVC), and CCF (China Computer Federation) Technical Committee on Service Computing (TCSC).

Services computing technologies have become essential in all aspects of IT, including modern distributed systems, web-enabled information and API services, cloud IoT/edge environment, AI and ML platforms, and impactful consumer and enterprise XaaS. Young experts in services computing are crucial to the ongoing transdisciplinary evolution of the IT industry and the digital world. The IEEE YESC Symposium provides a unique forum for students and young professionals to get engaged with the IEEE SERVICES community and to sharpen their soft skills.

Besides paper presentation sessions, the Symposium will feature acceptance speech of the annual IEEE TCSVC Rising Star Award, distinguished speeches, panels, recording-based presentation award competition, and Hackathon. The Symposium is open for free to all IEEE SERVICES 2021 attendees. We extend an invitation to all to participate and make it a success. Please stay tuned for further updates.
