Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Services Computing (tab.computer.org/tcsc)

Services account for a major part of the world economy today, with the services sector comprising of companies that provide a broad range of services in industries like healthcare, education, and banking. Modern services companies are significantly enabled by computing, and more generally by Information Technology (IT), to increase their efficiency and effectiveness. Services computing is a discipline that aims to study and better understand the crucial role of computing and IT in the services economy. It covers the science and technology needed 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 computing. Like its predecessors, SCC 2009 will contribute to building the pillars of this important discipline and shaping the future of Services Computing.

To deal with complexity and cost, firms are increasingly focusing on their core competency and outsourcing other functions (e.g., IT infrastructure) to specialized service providers, who are often organized as global networks. This global nature of the modern services economy leads to many opportunities and challenges, and enables new business models and technology innovations to support those business models. SCC 2009 will take a deeper look at this global nature of services, and focus on the theme of �Innovation in Globally Integrated Services�. The major tracks of the conference will focus on foundations, practices and applications, and business aspects of service computing. Further topics of interest under these tracks are provided below.

SCC 2009 is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Services Computing, and will be held from the 21st to the 25th of September 2009 in Bangalore, India, the center of Indian software activity with a variety of historical and natural attractions within striking distance. SCC 2004 was held in Shanghai, China; SCC 2005 was co-located with ICWS 2005 in Orlando, Florida, USA; SCC 2006 was co-located with ICWS 2006 in Chicago, Illinois, USA; SCC 2007 was co-located with ICWS 2007 in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA; and SCC 2008 was co-located with the 2008 IEEE Congress on Services in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. The SCC Proceedings have been included in the EI Compendex.

Authors are invited to submit original, UNPUBLISHED research papers that are not being considered in another forum. By submitting a paper, authors explicitly agree that at least one of them will register for the conference and present the paper. Topics of interest include, but are NOT limited to, the following:

1) Foundations of Services Computing

- Formal models for service computing - Service specification, design and implementation - Automated reasoning techniques in service computing - Value networks and the innovation lifecycle in services - Principles of service lifecycle management - Solutions stack for Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) - Service Level Agreements (SLAs) Negotiation, Automation and Orchestration - Service security, privacy and trust - Quality of Services (QoS) and Cost of Services (CoS) - QoS modeling and composition - Ontology and semantic web for services computing - Service engineering models and methods - Principles and methods for simulations of service computing - Foundations of services science - Principles of service-based systems. - Principles, architectures and design methodology for adaptive service-based systems - Mathematical foundation of business process modeling, integration and management

2) Service Computing Practices and Applications

- SOA tools, solutions and services - Service-oriented computing - Systematic design method for SOA solutions - SOA based consulting services and design services - SOA delivery excellence - Service oriented solutions reference architecture - Monitoring of services, process mining, and Quality of Services - Service computing in mobile and ubiquitous environments - Service computing for Grid and cloud computing - Collaborative business processes and extended Business Collaboration (eBC) architecture and solutions - Security, privacy and trust in business process management - Enterprise modeling and application integration services, e.g. enterprise service bus

3) Business Aspects of Service Computing

- Business service analysis, strategy, design, development and deployment - Service-oriented business consulting methodology and utilities - Service revenue models and utility computing, e.g., fee-for-transaction and fee-for-service - Service network economic structures and effects - Trust and loyalty in services-centric business models - Cultural, language, social and legal obstacles in services-centric business models - Commercialization of services computing technologies - Service-oriented business models - Service-oriented business process integration and management, covering the entire services lifecycle from requirements to operation - Service-oriented business process re-engineering and transformation methodology - Return On Investment (ROI) of business process integration and management

SCC 2009 will have research, industrial, work-in-progress and demo sessions. The industrial track is the forum for high quality presentations on innovative technology relevant to the above topics in practice. We also encourage submissions on experiences with innovative applications in industrial track. While submitting papers, authors are requested to specifically identify their paper as belonging to industrial or research track. Research track papers masquerading as industrial track versions are heavily discouraged. The program committee reserves the right to move a paper to research or industry track if it deems appropriate. Please note that the same paper should not be submitted to SCC 2009 and the 2009 International Conference of Web Services (ICWS 2008) simultaneously. Such duplicate submissions will be rejected from both conferences without review. Enhanced versions of selected papers published in SCC 2009 will be invited for publication in the IEEE Transactions of Services Computing (TSC), the International Journal of Business Process Integration and Management (IJBPIM), the International Journal of Web Services Research (JWSR), the International Journal of Grid and Utility Computing (IJGUC), and possibly other reputable journals. One Best Paper Award and one Best Student Paper Award will be presented by SCC 2009. The first author of the best student papers should be full-time student.

Formatting Instructions:

Manuscripts will be limited to 8 (IEEE Proceeding 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. Detailed Instructions for electronic paper submission, panel proposals, tutorial proposals, and review process can be found at http://conferences.computer.org/scc/2009/.

Important Dates:

Paper Submission Due Date: April 6, 2009 Decision Notification (Electronic): May 25, 2009 Camera-Ready Copy Due Date & Pre-registration Due: June 22, 2009 Conference Dates: Sept 21-25, 2009 (Bangalore, India)

Program Co-Chairs:

Stephen Yau, Arizona State University, USA Guruduth Banavar, IBM India Research Lab, India

Program Committee Vice-Chair:

Patrick C. K. Hung, University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT), Canada

Review 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."
