::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: 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.
