News 3: The integrated CFP Brochure (http://icws.org/2018/CFP-CACM.pdf) has been published in the Communications of ACM in December 2017 and January 2018. ======================== ICIOT 2018 has obtained approval from the following journals to organize special issues based on extended versions of ICIOT papers: - Special Issues in Services Transactions on Internet of Things (STIOT), - Special Issues in Services Transactions on Services Computing (STSC), - Special Issues in Services Transactions on Big Data (STBD), - Special Issues in Services Transactions on Cloud Computing (STCC), - Special Issue in International Journal of Web Services Research (JWSR)(Indexed by SCI & EI), - Special Issue in International Journal of Business Process Integration and Management (IJBPIM). With the rapid advancements of mobile Internet, cloud computing and big data, device-centric traditional Internet of Things (IoT) is now moving into a new era which is termed as Internet of Things Services (IOTS). In this era, sensors and other types of sensing devices, wired and wireless networks, platforms and tools, data processing/visualization/analysis and integration engines, and other components of traditional IoT are interconnected through innovative services to realize the value of connected things, people, and virtual Internet spaces. The way of building new IoT applications is changing. We indeed need creative thinking, long-term visions, and innovative methodologies to respond to such a change. The 3rd International Congress on Internet of Things (ICIOT 2018) is organized to continue promote research and application innovations around the world. ICIOT 2018 is a member of Services Conference Federation (SCF). SCF 2018 will have the following 10 collocated service-oriented sister conferences: 2018 International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2018), 2018 International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD 2018), 2018 International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2018), 2018 International Congress on Big Data (BigData Congress 2018),2018 International Conference on AI & Mobile Services (AIMS 2018), and 2018 World Congress on Services (SERVICES 2018), 2018 International Congress on Internet of Things (ICIOT 2018), 2018 International conference on Cognitive Computing (ICCC 2018), 2018 International Conference on Edge Computing (EDGE 2018), and 2018 International Conference on Blockchain (ICBC 2018).

SCF As A Platform -- SCF 2018 Defines Future of New ABC (AI, Blockchain & Cloud) The International Conference on Web Services (ICWS) was first conceived in June 2003 in Las Vegas, USA. Meanwhile, the First International Conference on Web Services - Europe 2003 (ICWS-Europe'03) was held in Germany in Oct, 2003. ICWS-Europe'03 is an extended event of the 2003 International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2003) in Europe. In 2004, ICWS-Europe was changed to the European Conference on Web Services (ECOWS), which was held at Erfurt, Germany. To celebrate its 16-year-old birthday, ICWS 2018 will be held on June 25 - June 30, 2018, Seattle, USA. In the past 15 years, ICWS community has been expanded from Web engineering innovations to scientific research for the whole services industry. The service delivery platforms have been expanded to mobile platforms, Internet of Things, cloud computing, and edge computing. The services ecosystem is gradually enabled, value added, and intelligence embedded through enabling technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, and cognitive computing. In the coming years, all the transactions with multiple parties involved will be transformed to blockchain. Based on the technology trends and best practices in the field, the Services Conference Federation (SCF) was created as a conference umbrella's code name for all services-related conferences. Today, we are very proud to announce that SCF 2018's 10 co-located theme topic conferences will all center around "services", while each focusing on exploring different themes (web-based services, cloud-based services, Big Data-based services, services innovation lifecycle, AI-driven ubiquitous services, blockchain driven trust service-ecosystems, industry-specific services and applications, and emerging service-oriented technologies) SCF 2018 Highlights: - Bigger Platform: The he 10 collocated conferences (SCF 2018) get sponsorship from the Services Society which is the largest not-for-profits organization (501 c(3)) dedicated for serving more than 30,000 worldwide researchers and practitioners. Bigger platform means bigger opportunities to all volunteers. Meanwhile, Springer provides sponsorship to best paper awards and other professional activities. All the 10 conference proceedings will be published by Springer and indexed in ISI Conference Proceedings Citation Index (included in Web of Science), Engineering Index EI (Compendex and Inspec databases), DBLP, Google Scholar, IO-Port, MathSciNet, Scopus, and ZBlMath. - Brighter Future: SCF launches the First International Conference on Blockchain (ICBC 2018) to build the fundamental infrastructure for enabling secure and trusted services ecosystems. It will also lead our community members to create their own brighter future. - Better Model: SCF 2018 leverages the invented Conference Blockchain Model (CBM) to innovate the organizing practices for all the 10 theme conferences. Senior researchers in the field are welcome to submit proposals to serve as CBM Ambassador for an individual conference to start better interactions during your leadership practices for organizing SCF 2018. Look forward to your great contributions as a volunteer, author, and conference participant for the fast-growing worldwide services innovations community.
