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の論文投稿締切が延長されました。新しい論文投稿締切 は『3月5日』です。あと1か月ありますので、ぜひ今年度の研究 成果をご投稿いただければと思います。 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。 （ご参考：再掲） 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。 ・ICWS 2020（開催場所：ハワイ） http://icws.org/2020/cfp.html ・IEEE ICWS 2020（開催場所：北京） http://conferences.computer.org/icws/2020/ ================================================================== 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. Manuscripts submitted to the Research Track focusing on application or solution descriptions may be recommended to the Application Track or other tracks for further consideration if the session slots are available.
