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).
Procedures and Important Dates
- The Contest will be announced on Nov. 5, 2007.
- The final paper submission is due on March 20, 2008. It should be limited to 8 pages and follows
the IEEE Computer Society
Press Proceedings Author Guidelines.
- The contest review result will be notified on April 6, 2008. Six to ten teams will be selected to the SCC08 and ICWS08 for the final competition. The selected teams will also
receive framed certificates from the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on
Services Computing. These teams will have their papers published in the Proceedings of the 2008 IEEE
Congress on Services (SERVICES 2008) per some pre-requisite.
- A camera-ready paper copy for the final competition is due on April 18, 2008.
- The finalists choose a final competition venue before April 25, 2008.
- The finalists participate in the contest exhibition and the contest oral presentation session with their live demos and posters at SCC 2008 or ICWS 2008.
- The finalists will be announced at SCC 2008 in July 2008 and the winners will be announced at ICWS 2008 in September 2008.
Team Structure
A contest team is made of at most 5 full-time undergraduate/graduate students, a professor as an advisor.
Software Platforms and Demonstration
There is no special preference on particular software platforms. Participants can choose their preferred software platforms for the contest. The team should build an online demonstration system so that the reviewers could understand the principle of the system and the key techniques used by visiting the systems using a Web browser.
Contest Awards
- Each team on the final list will receive a framed certificate presented by IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Services Computing.
- The teams on the final list will publish their papers in the Proceedings of the 2008 IEEE
Congress on Services (SERVICES 2008). One registration fee is required.
- Each team on the final list will receive one student travel award for a student member to present their work at SCC 2008 or ICWS 2008.
- $1,000 cash award will be shared among the winning teams.
