Papers submitted to the Ph.D. symposium must summarize an ongoing or completed Ph.D. thesis. Use the link above to go to PhD Symposium web page.

6. Services Cup:

Services Cup 2012 will again bring together worldwide talented students (Students Group) and industry practitioners (Professionals Group) for the industrial wave. The finalists and final top winners of the contest will be announced at the 2012 IEEE International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2012) in Hawaii (USA) in June 2012. In addition, the technical papers of the winners will be published in the proceedings of 2012 IEEE World Congress on Services (SERVICES 2012). Use the link above to go to Services Cup web page.

7. Global Cloud Industry Summit:

This 6th Global Cloud industry summit is intended to bridge the gap between Cloud Computing and Business models that are supported by them, with an emerging suite of ground-breaking technologies that includes cloud computing, SOA, business process modeling, integration and management, grid/utility/autonomic computing, enterprise service bus and Web 2.0. The relative placement of these emerging technologies, standards and concepts need to be clarified for the pragmatic needs of the industry. Use the link above to go to industry summit web page.

8. Innovation Show Case:

Exhibiting companies and research institutions will provide products, prototypes, First-Of-The-Kind demos, and services offerings in all aspects of Services Computing. In addition, participating companies or institutes will be able to give a product presentation in an exhibitor's track. Use the link above to go to innovation show case web page.
