IEEE Service 2015 Visionary Track on Service Composition for the Future Internet (SCFI 2015) Theme

SCFI 2015 (http://scfi2015.disim.univaq.it/) visionary track theme aims at providing innovative contributions to the research and development of novel Service Composition approaches to assist the design, development, validation and execution of service-oriented applications for the Future Internet.

SCFI 2014 constitutes a forum for scientists and engineers in academia and industry to present and discuss their latest ongoing research as well as radical new research directions that represent challenging innovations, which can advance the status quo of Service Composition when projected to the Future Internet. 

Details on key aims of the visionary track can be found at: http://scfi2015.disim.univaq.it.

At SCFI 2015 we will have a Keynote by Paola Inverardi (Tile and abstract to be announced) - http://scfi2015.disim.univaq.it/?page_id=130

== PAPER SUBMISSION ==

All accepted papers will be included in the Proceedings of the IEEE 11th World Congress on Services (SERVICES 2015), which will be published by the IEEE Computer Society. 

Selected papers will be invited for extension and inclusion in a special issue of a related journal.

We invite high-quality English-language submissions of regular papers, roadmaps, visionary papers, experience reports, industrial/academic reflections, and tool demos. Submissions should follow the IEEE Computer Society proceedings style as per IEEE 8.5 x 11 manuscript guidelines and accepted manuscripts must be under 4 or 8 pages. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to attend SCFI track and present the paper.
