["kanemasa [at] fujitsu.com" <kanemasa [at] fujitsu.com>]

日本データベース学会の皆様

富士通研究所の金政です。

私がプログラム委員長を務めるInternet/Webサービスの国際会議
ICWS 2020の論文募集をお送りさせていただきます。
論文提出の締切は『2月5日』です。

開催場所はハワイです。恵まれた環境で研究議論に集中できますし、
スコープの広い会議ですので、Internet/Webサービスに関係する研究
をされている多くの皆様に投稿をご検討いただければと思います。

なお、この会議は、昔のIEEE ICWS国際会議が、学会運営上の考え方
の違いから2つに分裂した片割れです。以下2つのうちの前者です。
どちらを選ばれるかは皆様の判断にお任せしますが、とにもかくにも
両者を取り違えて投稿しないようにお気を付けください。

==================================================================
2020 International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2020)
June 22-26, 2020, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA
http://www.icws.org/2020/

Theme: Internet/Web Based Services


Call for Papers
====================================

ICWS 2020 program committee invites you to participate in 2020 edition of
ICWS, to be held on June 22 - 26, 2020, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA.

The International Conference on Web Services (ICWS) has been 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. Internet/Web-based
services are not limited to Web services. In 2020, we will strive to advance
the largest international professional forum on Internet/Web-based services.

ICWS 2020 is a member of Services Conference Federation (SCF). SCF 2020 will
have the following 10 collocated service-oriented sister conferences:
2020 International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2020),
2020 International  Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD 2020),
2020 International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2020),
2020 International Conference on Big Data (BigData 2020),
2020 International Conference on AI & Mobile Services (AIMS 2020),
2020 World Congress on Services (SERVICES 2020),
2020 International Conference on Internet of Things (ICIOT 2020),
2020 International Conference on Cognitive Computing (ICCC 2020),
2020 International Conference on Edge Computing (EDGE 2020), and
2020 International Conference on Blockchain (ICBC 2020).

From technology foundation perspective, Services Computing has become
the default discipline in the modern services industry. As a major 
implementation technology for modernizing services industry, Web services
are Internet-based programmable application components published using
standard interface description languages and universally available via
uniform communication  protocols. In its 2020 version, the program of ICWS
 2020 will continue to feature research papers with a wide range of topics,
focusing on various aspects of Web-based services . Some of the topics
include Web services specifications and enhancements, Web services discovery
and integration, Web services QoS (e.g., security, performance, reliability,
fault tolerance, etc.), Web services standards and formalizations, Web
services modeling, Web services engineering, Web services testing, Web
services-based applications and solutions, Web services realizations,
semantics in Web services, Web services supporting Cloud Computing, Web
services lifecycle management, and all  aspects of Service-Oriented
Architecture (SOA) infrastructure and middleware.

The technical program of ICWS 2020 will include a Research Track,
an Application Track, and a Short Paper Track. The ICWS 2020 tracks seeks
original, UNPUBLISHED research papers reporting substantive new work in
various aspects of Internet/Web based services. Research Track papers MUST
clearly indicate their contributions to the field of Web-based services.
All papers MUST properly cite related work in the field, such as those
published in the proceedings of ICWS, SCC, CLOUD, AIMS, BigData, SERVICES,
APSCC, ECOWS, and related journals including STBD, STCC, STIOT, JWSR, STSC,
and IJBPIM (see Literature Recommendations page).

All topics relevant to Internet/Web based services are of interest.
ICWS 2020 will organize refereed paper reviews in 16 research areas (themes) :

- Web-based Systems
- Web-based Services
- Web Programming
- Web Content Creation
- Social Networking Services
- Semantic Web
- Web Protocols
- Web Caching and Buffering
- Web and XML
- Industry Specific Site Building
- Web Testing and Stagging
- Web User Experience
- Thin Client Programming
- Rich Client Programming
- 5G Web Technology
- Web Security and Privacy

All submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 program
committee members. Accepted and presented papers from all ICWS tracks will
appear in the conference proceedings.

Submitted Research Track and Application Track manuscripts will be limited 
to 15 (LNCS Proceedings style) pages and REQUIRED to be formatted using the
 LNCS Proceedings template ( WORD , Latex). Submitted Short Paper track man
uscripts will be limited to 8 (LNCS Proceedings style) pages. The authors
can extend a maximum of 2 pages for each paper but will have to pay extra
fees for each extra page. Unformatted papers and papers beyond the maximum
page limit may not be reviewed. Electronic submission of manuscripts (in PDF 
or Word format) is required. Detailed instructions for electronic paper
preparation and submission, panel proposals, tutorial proposals, workshop
proposals, and review process can be found at http://icws.org/2020/ .

The Proceedings of ICWS 2020 will be published in the Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (LNCS) by Springer International Publishing AG. Currently 
the Abstracting and Indexing services covered by Springer's data feeds 
for LNCS proceedings include ISI Conference Proceedings Citation Index
(included in Web of Science), Engineering Index EI (Compendex and Inspec
databases), DBLP, Google Scholar, IO-Port, MathSciNet, Scopus, and ZBlMath.
For all 10 collocated conferences of SCF 2020, the content of this
proceedings volume will be made freely accessible to anyone in the Springer's
digital library after four years upon publication.

At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register to the
conference and present the paper. One Best Paper award and one Best Student 
Paper award will be granted at ICWS 2020. The first author of the best
student paper must be a full-time student. The Best Paper Awards will be
sponsored by Springer, which is a leading global scientific, technical and
medical portfolio, providing researchers in academia, scientific institutions
and corporate R&D departments with quality content through innovative 
information, products and services.
