Important updates: - Keynote Speaker: Jim Spohrer (Director, Almaden Services Research, IBM) ------------------------------------------------------------ C A L L F O R C A S E S T U D I E S & D E M O S ------------------------------------------------------------ 2009 IEEE Asia-Pacific Services Computing Conference (IEEE APSCC 2009) December 7-11, 2009 -- Biopolis, Singapore http://apscc09.i2r.a-star.edu.sg/ Services Computing is a new cross-discipline that covers the science and technology needed to bridge the gap between business services and IT/telecommunication services. The goal of services computing is to develop new computing technology and thereby enable more advanced IT/telecommunication services to support business services more efficiently and effectively. IEEE APSCC 2009 is an important forum for researchers and industry practitioners to exchange information regarding advancements in the state of art and practice of IT/telecommunication-driven business services and application services, as well as to identify emerging research topics and define the future directions of Services Computing. TOPICS OF INTEREST ------------------------------------- Topics of interest for the IEEE APSCC 2009 industry track include, but are not limited to: - Services Computing Industry Adoption Case Studies + Deployment (including pilot implementation) of services computing concepts and solutions in specific industry verticals, for example: * Aerospace, Automotive, Digital Media and Entertainment, Financial Services, Government Services, Healthcare, Supply Chain and Logistics - Services-centric Design and Implementation + Services-based business process management + Service composition and reuse of existing components/services + Servitization of existing software for better reuse or catering for new business models + SOA-based architectures and solution stacks + Software as a Service (SaaS) development - Technology Enablers for Services-centric Business Models + Pay-per-use models + Quality of Service (QoS) + Service Level Agreements (SLAs) + Service packaging for sale (or resale) + Subscription-based models PUBLICATION ----------- This component of IEEE APSCC 2009 is for the purpose of sharing industry experiences and best practices. The submissions in this particular section are not intended for publication in the conference proceedings, but may be published via the IEEE APSCC 2009 Web-site. IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Case Study / Demo Summary Submission: August 14, 2009 (23:59 GMT) Author Notification: September 2, 2009 Submission of Presentation Slides: October 9, 2009 (23:59 GMT) Author Registration: October 9, 2009 (23:59 GMT) IEEE APSCC 2009 Conference: December 7 - 11, 2009 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES --------------------- Authors are requested to submit a one-page summary of the presentation that the authors intend to deliver, including a description of the demonstration of a system/application. Submissions must be in English and provided as PDF file! Each submission will be judged based on its contribution to the state-of-practice, technical quality, innovative features of implementation and relevance. Submitting a summary paper to IEEE APSCC 2009 means that if the presentation is accepted, at least one author will attend the conference to deliver the presentation and/or the demonstration.
