Services account for a major part of the IT industry today. Companies 
increasingly 
like to focus on their core expertise area and use IT services to address all 
their 
peripheral needs. Services Computing is a new science which aims to study and 
better 
understand the foundations of this highly popular industry. It covers the 
science 
and technology of leveraging computing and information technology to model, 
create, 
operate, and manage business services. Since 2004, the International 
Conference on 
Services Computing (SCC) has provided a platform for practitioners to present 
the 
latest advances in services science. Like its predecessors, SCC 2010 will 
contribute 
in building the pillars of this important science and shaping the future of 
Services 
Computing.

Services Computing currently shapes the thinking of business modeling, 
business 
consulting, solution creation, service delivery, and software architecture 
design, 
development and deployment. The global nature of Services Computing leads to 
many 
opportunities and challenges and creates a new networked economic structure 
for 
supporting different business models. SCC 2010 will help in bridging the gap 
between 
business services and information technology by driving research in 
technologies such 
as service-oriented architecture (SOA), business process integration and 
management, 
service engineering and grid and cloud computing and Web 2.0. SCC 2010 will 
have the 
following major tracks: Foundations of Services Computing, Services Computing 
Practices 
and Applications and Business Aspects of Services Computing. 

SCC 2010 is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on 
Services 
Computing. SCC 2004 was held in Shanghai, China, September 15-18, 2004 . SCC 
2005 was 
co-located with ICWS 2005 on July 11-15, 2005 in Orlando, Florida, USA. SCC 
2006 was 
co-located with ICWS 2006 on September 18-22, 2006 in Chicago, Illinois, USA. 
SCC 2007 
was co-located with ICWS 2007 on July 9-13, 2007 in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. 
SCC 2008 
was held on July 8-11, 2008, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. SCC 2009 was held on 
September 21-25, 
2009, Bangalore, India. The SCC Proceedings has been included in EI 
Compendex. 

The International Conference on Services Computing (SCC) covers the whole 
lifecycle of 
innovation research and enabling technologies, which includes enterprise 
modeling, 
business consulting, solution creation, services delivery, services 
orchestrtaion, 
services optimization, services management, services marketing, services 
delivery and 
cloud computing, service-oriented architecture (SOA), business process 
integration and 
management, and Web services technologies and standards.

(IEEE 
Proceeding style: the IEEE Proceedings template in Word Format  and IEEE Latex 
Style) 
pages and be printed on 10 or 11 size font. Please follow the IEEE Computer 
Society 
Press Proceedings Author Guidelines to prepare your papers. Electronic 
submission of 
manuscripts (in PDF or Word format) is required. Please visit the latest 
Services 
Computing Taxonomy to identify your innovation areas when you prepare your

Detailed Instructions for electronic paper submission, panel proposals, 
tutorial 
proposals, and review process can be found at the submission page. At least 
one 
author of each accepted paper is required to attend the conference and present 
the 
paper. Only the accepted and presented papers will be published in the CD-ROM 
and 
On-line versions of the Proceedings of IEEE 2010 International Conference on 
Services

Integration 
and Management (IJBPIM), and the International Journal of Web Services 
Research 
(JWSR). 

One Best Paper Award and one Best Student Paper Award will be presented by 
SCC 
2010. The first author of the best student papers should be a full-time 
student. 


Review and Presentation Policy 

"IEEE Policy and professional ethics requires 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."
