Services University (Summer
School on Services Computing)
Together
with the 2010 6th IEEE World Congress on Services (SERVICES 2010),
Services Society proudly announces the 2010 Summer School on Services
Computing (SU-2010). SU-2010 is a one-day forum, sponsored by
Services Society. IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Services
Computing (TC-SVC) provides technical co-sponsorship to SU-2010.
SU-2010 will be held on July 5, 2010 (Monday). In this Summer School,
Services Computing body of knowledge areas are presented to create,
deploy and manage cloud computing platforms and applications.
BACKGROUND
Services now account for more than half of
the U.S. economy and are rapidly adopted by most of the countries in
the world. As a foundational discipline in the modern services
industry, Services Computing addresses how to enable IT technology to
help people perform business services more efficiently and
effectively.
Services Society
(www.servicessociety.org),
a professional organization, is promoting research and technical
collaboration on Services Computing (SC) based Modern Services Science
among academia and industrial professionals. Services Society is a
dedicated not-for-profit organization (501(c)(3) status has been
approved by IRS, USA) of promoting “Services
University” program worldwide with collaborations with other
organizations such as IEEE
Computer Society Technical Committee on Services Computing
(TCSVC), which was founded in 2003. Since then, IEEE TC-SVC has
sponsored a series of flagship international conferences including: IEEE International Conference on
Web Services (ICWS), IEEE
International Conference on Services Computing (SCC), IEEE Asia
Pacific Services Computing Conference (APSCC), European
Conference on Web Services (ECOWS), and World
Congress on Services (SERVICES). In 2008, IEEE Transactions on Services
Computing (TSC) was formally launched. IEEE International
Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD) was also launched in 2009.
In
order to further Services Computing education in universities so as to
educate qualified professionals, a pilot Services University (SU)
program was launched at the 2007 IEEE Congress on Services (SERVICES
2007) in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. The SU program comprises three
major activities: Services Computing Schools, certificate development,
and education methodology summit. In 2008, we successfully organized
the Summer School on Services Computing in July in Hawaii and the Fall
School on Services Computing in September in Beijing. In July 2009, we
successfully organized the Summer School on Services Computing in Los
Angeles, USA. In Sept. 2009, the Fall School on Cloud Computing was
conducted in Bangalore, India.
OBJECTIVES
The central goal of SU-2010 is
to help educators teach Services Computing courses in their institutes,
while helping industry practitioners obtain comprehensive understanding
of the emerging field. The Summer School aims to help participants
understand the overall picture of Services Computing, its rationale, foundations, architectural models,
and industry-oriented applications and successful cases. Specially,
some major solution architectures, enabling technologies and innovative
research methods are captured in the whole lifecycle of services
innovation research, including business componentization, services
modeling, services creation, services realization, services annotation,
services deployment, services discovery, services composition, services
delivery, service-to-service collaboration, services monitoring,
services optimization, as well as services management.
Participants of this Summer School will obtain a comprehensive
understanding of the "Services Computing" curriculum initiative and of
research advancement of Cloud Computing as its scalable service
delivery and consumption platform. The basic materials can be found
from the recommended text book
"Services Computing". This Summer School aims to
provide the landscape and curriculum guidlines as well as selected
topics in the field of Services Computing. Other teaching materials
will
be provided and studied as well, including lecture notes and slides
associated with the curriculum.
CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTORS
The main topics from Services Curriculum and their strategic directions will be covered in the summer school.

OPENING TALK INFORMATION AND SPEAKERS
Summary: Services Computing has become an increasingly important area in the IT
and business sectors. In particular, Services now account for more than
half of the economy in the United States and other countries. Numerous
Services Computing-related degree programs and accreditation processes
are being created. However, very few systematic guidelines exist for
building graduate programs for Services Computing. This talk presents a
reference model of the Masters Program in Services Computing for
academic institutions and accreditation agencies as a relevant
curriculum guideline. Specifically, the core and elective courses are
introduced to help build the reference program. The interconnections
between core and elective courses are also illustrated to help create
concentration programs based on the introducing sequences of the
courses. Some practices of delivering Services Computing related
courses and conducting accreditation application process are presented
in this talk to help others more rapidly initiate the adoption process
of the Services Computing curriculum.
