Founded in 2003, the International Conference on Web Services (ICWS) has been a prime international forum for both researchers and industry practitioners to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of Web-based services, identify emerging research topics, and define the future of Web-based services. All topics regarding Web-centric services, enabling technologies and applications align with the theme of ICWS. ICWS 2018 was successfully held on June 25-30, 2018, Seattle, USA. In 2019, we will celebrate ICWS' 17-year-old birthday, to strive to advance the international professional forum on Web-centric services, and their enabling technologies and applications.
All topics relevant to Internet/Web based services are of interest. ICWS 2019 will organize refereed paper reviews in 7 research areas (themes) :
