The IEEE International Conference on Software Services Engineering (SSE) was established in 2023 as the successor of the IEEE Conference on Service Computing (IEEE SCC). Building on the foundational principles of service computing and the professional practices of software engineering, SSE provides a premier international forum for researchers and industry practitioners to advance the engineering of next-generation software services. SSE emphasizes the integration of service computing, machine learning, software engineering,pervasive computing, Internet of Things, dependable computing, autonomic systems, and human-centered sciences, enabling emerging, intelligent, and trustworthy service-based applications.
IEEE SSE 2026 will be oganized as part of the 2026 IEEE World Congress on SERVICES during July 13-18 in Sydney, Australia.
IEEE SSE welcomes original research contributions and visionary ideas that fall within the following themes. Submissions addressing innovative and emerging topics that advance and empower software services are also strongly encouraged.
