***ABOUT IEEE ICWS AND IEEE SERVICES CONGRESS***

The 2020 IEEE World Congress on Services (SERVICES) will be held on July 7-11, 2020 in Beijing, China. The Congress is solely sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society under the auspice of the Technical Committee on Services Computing (TCSVC). The scope of the Congress will cover all aspects of services computing and applications, current or emerging. It covers various systems and networking research pertaining to cloud, edge and Internet-of-Things (IoT), as well as technologies for intelligent computing, learning, big data and blockchain applications, while addressing critical issues such as high performance, security, privacy, dependability, trustworthiness, and cost-effectiveness. The Congress will also include symposia and workshops supporting deep-dive discussions on emerging important topics, and complement the Congress program with industry and application presentations and panels. Authors are invited to prepare early and submit original papers to any of these conferences at www.easychair.org. All submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 reviewers. Accepted and presented papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press.

The IEEE International Conference on Web Services (ICWS) is the flagship conference focusing on innovative Web-based services. It is a prime international forum for researchers, academics, businesses, industry, and standard bodies to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of Web-based services, identify emerging research topics, and define the future of Web-based services. In 2020, we will continue to strive to advance the largest international professional forum on Internet/Web-based services. The Proceedings of ICWS is EI indexed.

From technology foundation perspective, Services Computing (or Service Oriented Computing) has become the default discipline in the modern services industry. As a major implementation technology for modernizing services industry, Web-based services are Internet-based programmable application components published using standard interface description languages and universally available via uniform communication protocols. The program of ICWS 2020 will continue to feature research and application papers with a wide range of topics, focusing on various aspects of Web-based services.
