ICWS 2018 - 25th International Conference on Web Services

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 2018, we will celebrate our 25th version of gathering, to strive to advance the largest international professional forum on Internet/Web based services.
ICWS is co-located with 2018 World Congress on Services (SERVICES 2018), the 11th International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD 2018), the 15th International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2018), the 7th International Congress on Big Data (BigData Congress 2018), and the 7th International Conference on AI & Mobile Services (AIMS 2018). All six co-located theme topic conferences will all center around "services," while each focusing on exploring different themes (industry-specific services and enaling technologies, web-based services, cloud-based services, Big Data-based services, services innovation lifecycle, and mobile services).
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 25th version, the program of ICWS 2018 will continue to feature research papers with a wide range of topics, focusing on various aspects of Internet and web-based services. Some of the topics include Web services discovery and composition, Web services specifications and enhancements, 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.
