The 2nd IEEE Asia-Pacific Service Computing Conference (IEEE APSCC 2007)
Tsukuba Science City, Japan - IEEE APSCC 2007 serves as a major international forum for researchers and industry practitioners to exchange information regarding advancements in the state of art and practice of IT-driven business services.
Services now account for more than half of the U.S. economy. Services Computing, as a new cross discipline, addresses how to enable IT technology to help people perform business services more efficiently and effectively. As we can see, Services Computing currently shapes the processes of business modeling, business consulting, solution creation, service delivery, and software architecture design, development and deployment.
Services Computing is a new cross-discipline that covers the science and technology needed to bridge the gap between business services and IT services. The goal of services computing is to develop new computing technology and thereby enable more advanced IT services to support business services more efficiently and effectively. IEEE APSCC 2007 serves as a major international forum for researchers and industry practitioners to exchange information regarding advancements in the state of art and practice of IT-driven business services. IT solution, and application services, as well as to identify emerging research topics and define the future directions of Services Computing.
