***Theme: Bridge the Gap between Business Services and IT Services***

The 2005 IEEE International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2005) is the
THIRD year of ICWS focusing on Web Services. ICWS is a forum for researchers
and industry practitioners to exchange information regarding advancements in
the state of the art and practice of Web Services, as well as to identify the
emerging research topics and define the future of Web Services computing.
Some of the topics of interest include: Web Services specifications and
enhancements, Web Services discovery, Web Services security, Web Services based
applications, Web Services standards and technologies, Web Services applications
and solutions, Web Services realizations, semantic Web Services, and other
emerging technologies or solutions.

The 2005 IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2005),
which is the SECOND year of SCC, aims to the topics of bridging the gap between
Business Services and IT Services with a new ground breaking technology
suite that includes Web services and service-oriented architecture (SOA),
business process integration and performance management, utility/grid computing and
autonomic computing. SCC 2005 has the following major research tracks:
Foundations of Services Computing, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA),
Grid/Utility Computing, and Business Performance Management Services and Business
Integration. This year we are pleased to present an extremely strong technical
program.

As a potential participant, you just need to register to either SCC 2005 or
ICWS 2005. Then you can attend both ICWS 2005 and SCC 2005! The online
registration system is located at
http://conferences.computer.org/icws/2005/reg.htm
<http://conferences.computer.org/icws/2005/reg.htm>> . The deadline for the
general participants is June 15, 2005. We accept on-site registration (with a
higher registration fee). ICWS/SCC 2005 will be held at Sheraton Safari
Hotel - Lake Buena Vista Florida (12205 Apopka-Vineland Road, Orlando, FL 32836).
