::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: CALL FOR PAPERS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

The 11th IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2014)
=======================================================================
http://conferences.computer.org/scc/2014/

June 27 - July 2, 2014 in Anchorage, Alaska, USA.

Sponsored by the Technical Committee on Services Computing (TC-SVC), IEEE
Computer Society

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. Like its predecessors, SCC 2014 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 2014 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, cloud computing, and Web 2.0.

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 orchestration, 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.

* Foundations of Services Computing
