SCContest2006

The Services Industrials account for 55% economic activities according to the recent US Census. Service Computing, as an emerging cross-discipline, covers the science and technology of leveraging computing and information technology to model, create, operate, and manage business services. The mission is to bridge the gap between Business Services and IT Services and to have business services performed more effectively and efficiently.

Among the core enabling technologies of service computing are Web Services, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), Business Process Integration and Performance Management. SOA is a novel design methodology and architecture aimed at maximizing the reuse of application-neutral services. It enables services abstraction from implementation and functional standardization through service compositions. Therefore it enhances business services adaptability, efficiency and agility.

The 2006 IEEE International Services Computing Contest (SCContest 2006) will focus on using the SOA methodologies and tools to better solve business issues facing today and bringing worldwide talented students together for the industrial wave. Top six winners of the contest will be announced in the 2006 IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2006) and the 2006 IEEE International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2006) in September, 2006. In addition, the technical papers of the winners will be published in the proceedings of IEEE SCC 2006.
