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.

Both ICWS 2005 and SCC 2005 are sponsored by IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Services Computing and will be co-located at the same venue. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings in hardcopy and on-line version by the IEEE Computer Society. The enhanced version of the selected best papers published in the ICWS 2005 and SCC 2005 will be invited to publication in the International Journal of Web Services Research (JWSR), the International Journal of Business Process Integration and Management (IJBPIM) and possibly other related journals. One Best Paper award and 1-3 Best Student Paper Awards will be presented by ICWS 2005 and SCC 2005 respectively. In particular, the ICWS 2005 Proceedings, SCC 2004 Proceedings and JWSR have been selected to be included in EI Compendex. Abstract and paper submission is due on January 31, 2005. Some speakers of the keynotes, panels, and tutorials will be invited to submit articles to extend their presentations for potential publication in IEEE IT Professional Magazine.

The proceedings of SCC 2005 and ICWS 2005 will be included in EI Compendex.
