ICWS 2010 organizing committee invites you to participate in the
eighth edition of ICWS, to be held in Miami, FL, USA.

ICWS has been a prime international forum for both researchers and
industry practitioners to exchange the latest fundamental advances in
the state of the art and practice of Web services, identify emerging
research topics, and define the future of Web-based services. ICWS
2010 is sponsored by IEEE Computer Society. It is the eighth year of
gathering to formally explore “Services” Science and Technology in the
field of Services Computing, which was formally promoted by IEEE
Computer Society since 2003.

ICWS 2010 will be co-located with the 6th IEEE 2010 World Congress on
Services (SERVICES 2010), the 3rd IEEE 2010 International Conference
on Cloud Computing (CLOUD 2010), and the 7th IEEE 2010 International
Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2010) to grow itself to
continute to be the most prestigious professional conference dedicated
to Web services.

The technical program of ICWS 2010 will include a refereed research
track, an application and industry track, a work-in-progress track,
and a poster track. The research track will highlight foundational
work that strives to push beyond the limits of existing Web services
platforms and products, including experimental efforts, innovative
systems and investigations that identify weaknesses in the existing
Web services models.

The ICWS 2010 research track seeks original, UNPUBLISHED research
papers reporting substantive new work in various aspects of Web
services. Research papers must properly cite related work and clearly
indicate their contributions to the field of Web services. All topics
relevant to Web services are of interest, but the conference program
committee particularly encourages submissions related to the following
aspects of Web services:

Foundations of Web Services

        * Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Evolutions
        * Models, methodologies, and tools (including analysis,
design, modeling, and composition)
        * Publishing, discovery, and selection (including in mobile
settings)
        * Validation and testing (including risk assessment and tracking)
        * Management and governance (including monitoring, QoS, privacy,
trust)
        * Formal methods (including modeling and specification, data
and process semantics, type systems, security, QoS, and other
properties)
        * Standards and implementation and deployment technologies

Web-based Services

        * Web 2.0 and Web X.0 concepts in Web services settings
        * Software as a Service (SaaS)
        * Service As Software
        * Cloud Computing
        * Technologies for building and operating massive data centers
(including middleware)

Web Services Applications beyond Web

        * Applications (including mobile, scientific, Grid and
utility, autonomic, and embedded computing)
        * Business process management (including business protocols,
business intelligence, service level agreements, and business
licensing models)

All submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 program
committee members. Accepted papers will appear in the conference
proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Extended
versions of selected papers published in the ICWS 2010 will be invited
through a fast review channel for potential publication in the IEEE
Transactions on Services Computing (TSC), International Journal of Web
Services Research (JWSR) and the International Journal of Business
Process Integration and Management (IJBPIM). Both the ICWS Proceedings
and JWSR are included in EI Compendex. JWSR is also indexed in SCI-E.

Submitted manuscripts will be limited to 10 (IEEE Proceedings style)
pages and REQUIRED to be formatted using the IEEE Proceedings
template. Unformatted papers and papers beyond 10 pages will not be
reviewed. Electronic submission of manuscripts (in PDF or Word format)
is required. Detailed instructions for electronic paper preparation
and submission, panel proposals, tutorial proposals, workshop
proposals, and review process can be found at
each accepted paper is required to register to the conference and
present the paper. One Best Paper award and one Best Student Paper
award will be granted at ICWS 2010. The first author of the best
student paper must be a full-time student.
If your paper is application or solution oriented, you can consider
submitting it to ICWS 2010 Applications and Industry Track.
Manuscripts submitted to the Research Track focusing on application or
solution descriptions may be recommended to the Applications and
Industry Track for further consideration if the session slots are
available. Submitted papers with novel ideas but not accepted by the
Research Track and Applications and Industry Track may also be
recommended for potential consideration by the chairs of the
Work-in-Progress Track and Poster Track of ICWS 2010, and other tracks
and workshops of SERVICES 2010.

ICWS Program Committee requires that authors adopt the keywords and
index terms in Services Computing “M” from the IEEE CS taxonomy
(computer.org/tsc).

Review Policy
=============
IEEE Policy and professional ethics require 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 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 presentations and discussions 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.
