Scope & Topics

The IEEE International Conference on Web Services (ICWS) is the flagship conference focusing on innovative Web-based services. It is a prime international forum for researchers, academics, businesses, industry, and standard bodies 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. In 2020, we will continue to strive to advance the largest international professional forum on Internet/Web-based services. The Proceedings of ICWS is EI indexed.From technology foundation perspective, Services Computing (or Service Oriented Computing) has become the default discipline in the modern services industry. As a major implementation technology for modernizing services industry, Web-based services are Internet-based programmable application components published using standard interface description languages and universally available via uniform communication protocols.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following

• Service Discovery, Selection and Recommendation
• Service publishing

Paper Submission

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. All topics regarding Web-based services lifecycle study and management align with the theme of ICWS. In 2020, we will gather to strive to advance the largest international professional forum on Internet/Web based services. .
