CFP: SERVICE CUP 2010

2010 IEEE SERVICE CUP Contest (Contest2010) Call for Participation The 2010 contest is the fifth episode of the series of contest. The contest opens to talented students (Students Group) and industry practitioners (Professionals Group). The contest focuses on using the SOA methodologies, solution reference architectures, and tools to solve real world problems. We choose a different theme each year, while the real world application is chosen by the participants. In the past, business SOA and mash-ups were chosen as themes. The 2010 theme is ?Applications and Algorithms with Clouds?. We invite participants to study algorithms and application solutions under cloud computing architecture. Some typical applications on clouds can be business intelligence and social networks. Typical algorithms suitable for clouds can be information retrieval and machine learning. Each team is required to submit a technical paper and build a demo system which should be accessible on line. The demo system can use commercial clouds, like Amazon Web services, or private clouds. The finalists will be invited to ICWS 2010 in Miami, USA for on-site contest. The papers of the finalists will be published in the proceedings of the 2010 IEEE Congress on Services (SERVICES 2010) which is collected in IEEE Digital Library. IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Services Computing sponsors travel awards to the top teams in final list. Important Dates ? Paper and demo submission due date: March 15, 2010. ? Decision notification: April 3, 2010. ? Camera-ready copy due date: April 20, 2010. ? the final competition is one day between July 5-11 during ICWS2010 (will be decided later). Contest Awards ?
