About IEEE
==========
IEEE is the world's largest professional association advancing innovation and technological
excellence for the benefit of humanity. IEEE and its members inspire a global community to
innovate for a better tomorrow through its highly cited publications, conferences, technology
standards, and professional and educational activities. IEEE is the trusted "voice" for
engineering, computing and technology information around the globe.


About IEEE Computer Society
===========================
With nearly 85,000 members, the IEEE Computer Society (CS) is the world's leading organization
of computing professionals. Founded in 1946, and the largest of the 38 societies of the
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the CS is dedicated to advancing
the theory and application of computer and information-processing technology.


About the Technical Committee on Services Computing (TCSVC)
===========================================================
Founded in 2003, IEEE Computer Society's Technical Committee on Services Computing (TCSVC)
is a multidisciplinary group whose purpose is to advance and coordinate work in the field of
Services Computing carried out throughout the IEEE in scientific, engineering, standard,
literary and educational areas.

Services Computing has become a cross-discipline that covers the science and technology of
bridging the gap between Business Services and IT Services. The underneath breaking technology
suite includes Web services and service-oriented architecture (SOA), cloud computing, business
consulting methodology and utilities, business process modeling, transformation, and integration.
This scope of Services Computing covers the whole lifecycle of services innovation research
that includes business componentization, services modeling, services creation, services
realization, services annotation, services deployment, services discovery, services composition,
services delivery, service-to-service collaboration, services monitoring, services optimization,
 as well as services management. The goal of Services Computing is to enable IT services and
computing technology to perform business services more efficiently and effectively.
