The objective of Services Computing
Contest is to promote research and teaching services computing techniques in universities
and colleges worldwide. This contest brings together talented students to solve
challenges in using Services Computing techniques to build value-added business
systems in the era of Web 2.0. Following the two successful contests in 2006
and 2007, the 2008 IEEE
International Services Computing Contest has the theme of "Business SOA and Services
Mash-up" that the participating teams will utilize the services and data from
different sources and integrate them into a new value-added business service to
the end users. Each team will submit a paper and build a live system. The
finalists will be invited to either the SCC 2008 (Hawaii, USA)
or the ICWS 2008 (Beijing, China),
at their will, for the final competition. The reasons to organize the final
competition in two conferences are to encourage teams from different countries
to participate and to solve practical traveling issues. The contest is one
competition. The finalists will be announced in the SCC 2008 and the winners
will be announced in the ICWS 2008. The papers of the finalists will be
published in the proceedings of the 2008 IEEE
Congress on Services (SERVICES 2008). This contest is sponsored by IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee
on Services Computing, and is supported by IBM Research (Services Computing).
