CALL FOR PAPERS

2006 IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2006)
===================================================================

Celebrating the 60th Anniversary of IEEE Computer Society! September
18-22, 2006, Hyatt Regency at O'Hare Airport, Chicago, USA
http://conferences.computer.org/scc/2006 Theme: Services, Solutions,
and Business Models of Services Computing

Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society
Technical Committee on Services Computing (tab.computer.org/tcsc)

The 2006 IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC
2006) is celebrating the 60th Anniversary of IEEE Computer Society!
Building on its great success in 2004 and 2005, SCC 2006 continues to
bridge the gap between Services Computing and Business models with an
emerging suite of ground-breaking technology that includes
service-oriented architecture, business process integration and
management, grid/utility/autonomic computing and mobile computing such
as ad-hoc networks (MANETs). SCC 2006 will be co-located with the 2006
IEEE International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2006), the 30th
Annual International Computer Software and Applications Conference
(COMPSAC 2006), and the 2006 IEEE Workshops on Software Technology and
Engineering Practice (STEP 2006). IEEE Services Oriented Architecture
(SOA) Industry Summit and IEEE International Services Computing
Contest will be featured at this joint event. The theme of SCC 2006 is
"Services, Solutions, and Business Models of Services Computing"

Services Computing, as a new cross discipline, addresses how to enable
IT technology to help people perform business processes more
efficiently and effectively. At the core of a business model is a set
of processes that jointly help yield a profit in an organization. As
we can see, Services Computing currently shapes the processes of
business modeling, business consulting, solution creation, service
delivery, and software architecture design, development and
deployment. The global nature of Services Computing leads to many
opportunities and few challenges and creates a new networked economic
structure for supporting different business models. SCC 2006 has the
following three major research tracks: Foundations of Services
Computing, Services-Centric Business Models, and Business Process
Integration and Management.

Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers
that are not being considered in another forum. Manuscripts will be
limited to 8 (IEEE Proceeding style) pages and be printed on 10 or 11
size font. Please follow the IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings
Author Guidelines to prepare your papers. Electronic submission of
manuscripts (in PDF or Word format) is required. Detailed
Instructions for electronic paper submission, panel proposals,
tutorial proposals, and review process can be found at
http://conferences.computer.org/scc/2006/. At least one author of
each accepted paper is required to attend the conference and present
the paper. The enhanced version of the selected papers published in
SCC 2006 will be invited for publication in the International Journal
of Business Process Integration and Management (IJBPIM), the
International Journal of Web Services Research (JWSR), the
International Journal of Grid and Utility Computing (IJGUC), and
possibly other reputable journals. One Best Paper award and 1-3
Best Student Paper Awards will be presented by SCC 2006. The first
author of the best student papers should be full-time student. Topics
