*** ABOUT IEEE QSW AND IEEE SERVICES CONGRESS ***

The 2023 IEEE World Congress on Services will be held in Chicago, Illinois
USA. The IEEE International Conference on Quantum Software (QSW) is
focusing on quantum software engineering, including hybrid quantum
software, quantum software development, quantum in the cloud, quantum
applications, and quantum software analysis & evolution. The goal of QSW is
to bring together researchers and practitioners from different areas of
quantum computing and (classical) software and service engineering to
strengthen the quantum software community and discuss, e.g., architectural
styles, languages, and best practices of quantum software as well as many
other aspects of the quantum software development lifecycle.

SERVICES 2023 is solely sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society under the
auspice of the Technical Community on Services Computing (TCSVC). The scope
of SERVICES 2023 covers all aspects of services computing and applications,
current or emerging. Centered around services computing, SERVICES 2023
covers various systems and networking research pertaining to cloud, edge
and Internet-of Things (IoT), as well as technologies for intelligent
computing, learning, Big Data and blockchain applications, addressing
critical issues such as knowledge network, high performance, security,
privacy, dependability, trustworthiness, and cost-effectiveness.
Particularly, the 2023 Congress will welcome papers on the aftermath and
the impact of COVID-19 on services and the world infrastructure. In
addition to co-located theme-topic conferences, the Congress will also
include symposia and workshops supporting deep-dive discussions on emerging
important topics, and complement the SERVICES 2023 program with industry
and application presentations and panels. Authors are invited to prepare
early and submit original papers to any of these conferences at
www.easychair.org. All submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by at
least three reviewers. Accepted and presented papers will appear in the
conference proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press.
SERVICES 2023 is the only premier professional event for the services
computing field offered by IEEE.
