SC2 2014 Call for Papers
************************

==================================================================
GOAL

The “Cloud” is a natural evolution of distributed computing and of the widespread 
adaption of virtualization and SOA. Services computing is a new cross-discipline 
that covers the science and technology needed to bridge the gap between business 
services and IT services.

In Cloud computing, IT-related capabilities and resources are provided as services, 
via the Internet and on-demand, accessible without requiring detailed knowledge of 
the underlying technology. The goal of services computing is to develop new 
computing technology and thereby enable more advanced IT services to support 
business services more efficiently and effectively. SC2 2014 is an important forum 
for researchers and industry practitioners to exchange information regarding 
advancements in the state of art and practice of IT-driven cloud computing 
technologies and services, as well as to identify emerging research topics and 
define the future directions of cloud and services Computing. 

==================================================================
