Services account for a major part of the IT industry today. Companies increasingly like to focus on their core expertise area and use IT services to address all their peripheral needs. Services Computing is a new science which aims to study and better understand the foundations of this highly popular industry. It covers the science and technology of leveraging computing and information technology to model, create, operate, and manage business services. Like its predecessors, SCC 2012 will contribute in building the pillars of this important science and shaping the future of Services Computing. Services Computing currently shapes the thinking 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 challenges and creates a new networked economic structure for supporting different business models. SCC 2012 will help in bridging the gap between business services and information technology by driving research in technologies such as service-oriented architecture (SOA), business process integration and management, service engineering and grid and cloud computing and Web 2.0. The International Conference on Services Computing (SCC) covers the whole lifecycle of innovation research and enabling technologies, which includes enterprise modeling, business consulting, solution creation, services delivery, services orchestration, services optimization, services management, services marketing, services delivery and cloud computing, service-oriented architecture (SOA), business process integration and management, and Web services technologies and standards.

The IEEE International Conference on Web Services (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-based services, identify emerging research topics, and define the future of Web-based services. The Proceedings of ICWS is SCI & EI indexed. In 2012, we will celebrate the merger between ICWS and European Conference on Web Services (ECOWS) as the nineteenth version of gathering, to strive to advance the largest international professional forum on Web-based services. The IEEE 2012 World Congress on Services (SERVICES 2012) is the biggest international forum that explores the science and technology of Services Computing, which was formally promoted by IEEE Computer Society since 2003. Under the umbrella of SERVICES 2012, ICWS 2012 will co-locate with the following service-oriented sister conferences: the 5th IEEE 2012 International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD 2012), the 9th IEEE 2012 International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2012), the 1st IEEE International Conference on Mobile Services (MS 2012), and the 1st IEEE International Conference on Services Economics(SE 2012). The five co-located theme topic conferences will all center around "services," while each focusing on exploring different themes (web-based services, cloud-based services, services innovation lifecycle, mobile services, and services economics). From technology foundation perspective, Services Computing has become the default discipline in the modern services industry. As a major implementation technology for modernizing services industry, Web services are Internet-based programmable application components published using standard interface description languages and universally available via uniform communication protocols. In its nineteenth version, the program of ICWS 2012 will continue to feature research papers with a wide range of topics, focusing on various aspects of data-centric web-based services. Some of the topics include Web services specifications and enhancements, Web services discovery and integration, Web services QoS (e.g., security, performance, reliability, fault tolerance, etc.), Web services standards and formalizations, Web services modeling, Web services engineering, Web services testing, Web services-based applications and solutions, Web services realizations, semantics in Web services, Web services supporting Cloud Computing, Web services lifecycle management, and all aspects of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) infrastructure and middleware. The technical program of ICWS 2012 will include a research track, an application and experience track, an industry track, and a work-in-progress track. The ICWS 2012 tracks seeks original, UNPUBLISHED research papers reporting substantive new work in various aspects of Web services. Research track papers MUST clearly indicate their contributions to the field of Web-based services and properly cite related work in the field, such as those published in the proceedings of ICWS, SCC, CLOUD, SERVICES, APSCC, ECOWS, and related journals including TSC, JWSR, and IJBPIM. 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 divided in three categories: 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 Internet-based Services Web 2.0 and Web X.0 concepts in Web services settings Software As A Service (SaaS) Cloud Computing for Internet services delivery 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) - Computer Science and Internet Thu, 02 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.worldconferencecalendar.com/component/option,com_conference/page,show_ad/catid,0/adid,2816/Itemid,26/ 31st Annual Conference May 18 - 20, 2012 Hosted by Arizona State University and organized to mark the birth of the two Sudans, this conference seeks to reflect on recent work on the Sudan from present-day South Sudan Republic, new scholarship of Sudan in the world and to open up new discussion, incite discourses, and to encourage progressions for future research. We expect to bring together scholars working in different disciplines to consider the connections, comparisons, and contrasts between faces and facets of the Sudan in the world. With this in mind, we invite scholars working on any aspect of Sudan in the world from antiquity to over the last two centuries to contribute theoretically innovative and empirically grounded papers, panels and presentations that might enhance our understanding of such multifaceted experiences, processes of movements and events. Though the central focus of the conference will be on that broader issue, we would welcome contributions on other topics that revolve around greater Sudan in general. The Sudan is entering the 21st century in a very different form and substance than that which we have seen any time before. July 9, 2011, will go down in history not only as a momentous day for the newest state of South Sudan, but also as a significant signpost in the lives of millions of people in that state, in the greater Sudan, in Africa and in the world at large. Neither the issues of unity and separation are yet over nor are the consequences of past developments now settled.

The main goal of Situation Management is to provide semantically rich real-time views of observed areas or objects as needed in various domains, homeland security or disaster management for instance. These views base on sets of situations that are deduced from large-scale (integrated) real-time data sources by intelligent analysis. Dynamic workflows offer a possibility to pre-define a plan for supporting decision makers and task forces in situation handling. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners from the field of situation management. Contributions that propose innovative methods, tools and technologies that support situation management are highly welcome. Also, we are highly interested in contributions that report on experiences in situation management projects. Relevant topics for submissions include, but are not limited to: § Abnormal Situation Management § Situation Awareness in Disaster Management § Situation Awareness in Data Warehousing § Information Quality and Integration § Knowledge Acquisition & Management § Sensor Networks and Sensor Data Management § Process and Workflow Management § Dynamic Workflows Workshop Chairs (issasim@faw.uni-linz.ac.at) Reinhard Stumptner, BIA Business Intelligence Accelerator, Austria Bernhard Freudenthaler, Software Competence Center Hagenberg, Austria PAPER SUBMISSION DETAILS Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research and application papers that are not being considered in another forum.
