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 2011 is sponsored by IEEE Computer Society. It is the nineth 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 2011 will be co-located with the 7th IEEE 2011 World Congress on Services (SERVICES 2011), the 4rd IEEE 2011 International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD 2011), and the 8th IEEE 2011 International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2011) to grow itself to continute to be the most prestigious professional conference dedicated to Web services.
The technical program of ICWS 2011 will include a refereed research track, an application and industry track, and a work-in-progress 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The ICWS 2011 research track seeks original, UNPUBLISHED research papers reporting substantive new work in various aspects of Web services.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 2011 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 8 (IEEE Proceedings style) pages and REQUIRED to be formatted using the IEEE Proceedings template. Unformatted papers and papers beyond 8 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 http://conferences.computer.org/icws/2011/. At least one author of 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 2011. 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 2011 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 of ICWS 2011, and other tracks and workshops of SERVICES 2011.
ICWS Program Committee requires that authors adopt the keywords and index terms in Services Computing "M" from the IEEE CS taxonomy (computer.org/tsc).
