IEEE creates services computing community

Using the umbrella phrase 'services computing' the IEEE this morning announced the IEEE Services Computing Community. Within the context of the newly created community, IEEE classifies services as Web services, service-oriented architectures (SOAs), business process integration, autonomic, grid and utility computing.

A member of the community provided this description of the group:

Services Computing has become a cross-discipline that covers the science and technology of Services Innovation Research, which leverages IT and computing technology to model, create, and manage business solutions, scientific applications, as well as modernized services. The underneath technology suite includes Web services and service-oriented architecture (SOA), business consulting methodology and utilities, business process modeling, transformation and integration.

This scope of Services Computing covers the whole lifecycle of services innovation research that includes 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. The goal of Services Computing is to enable IT services and computing technology to perform business services more efficiently and effectively.

Other materials provided by IEEE state:

Our Services Computing community aims to bridge 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 management, utility/grid computing and autonomic computing.

Although not typically lumped into a single category, those various technologies are a natural fit, and I'll be interested and watching to see exactly what IEEE comes up with.
