ANNOUNCEMENT

Dear Colleagues & Friends:

The safety and well-being of all conference participants is our priority. We will continue to monitor official travel advisories related to the Corona Virus and update the event website to keep you informed. We encourage you to review the conference’s “Travel Safety & Medical Guidelines” page for tips and travel recommendations provided by IEEE.

The current plan is that SCC 2020, in conjunction with the 2020 IEEE World Congress on Services will still be held in Beijing with the following new set of key dates:
Normal paper submission due: February 13 March 5, 2020 (5:00 am, UTC)
Final notification to authors: April 6 April 20, 2020
Camera ready manuscripts due: April 20 May 4, 2020
Congress dates: July 7-11 July 20-24, 2020October 19-23, 2020

Because the move created a 7-month gap before the Congress is actually held, the Steering Committee decided to accommodate authors with one more submission window as follows:
Normal paper submission re-opened for the final window: April 27, 2020
Normal paper submission for the final window due: June 5, 2020 (5:00 am UTC)
Submissions to Symposium on Future of Financial Services due: June 12, 2020
Final notification for the final window to authors: July 20, 2020 (for all papers submitted in the final window due June 5)
Camera ready manuscript due: August 7, 2020
Congress Date: October 19-23, 2020

Papers accepted within this final window will also be included in the same 2020 proceedings.
Due to this final move the Congress has issued a newly revised presentation policy for authors and presenters affected by the travel issues.

ABOUT IEEE SCC 2020

Services account for a major part of the IT industry today. Companies increasingly like to focus on their core expertise area and use IT services to address all their peripheral needs. Services Computing is a new science which aims to study and better understand the foundations of this highly popular industry. It covers the science and technology of leveraging computing and information technology to model, create, operate, and manage business services. Like its predecessors, SCC 2020 will contribute in building the pillars of this important science and shaping the future of Services Computing.
