IEEE Transactions on Services Computing（TSC）将于2016年庆祝成立九周年。在2016年第一期，我想向我们的读者、作者、审稿人、TSC编辑委员会和TSC执行顾问委员会报告TSC的成就。首先，TSC的影响因子为3.049，其五年影响因子为3.181，这使TSC在IEEE出版物和其他国际期刊出版物中处于高排名同行评审期刊的精英阶层。第二，TSC在2015年作为双月刊迎来了第一年，每两个月出版一次，每年出版六期，而不是2008 - 2014年的季度。这有助于TSC缩短所有被接受论文从接受到发表的时间。第三，海训方案收到的提案数量继续增加。为了应对不断增长的社区，包括作者和读者，截至2015年12月，TSC编辑委员会有48位杰出的副编辑，包括12位IEEE研究员，1位ACM研究员，5位AAAS研究员和2位欧洲学院（Academia Europaea）成员。2015年，三位副编辑加入了TSC编辑委员会：Carl K。张德瑞拿撒勒，和埃莱尼·斯特劳利亚。所有副编辑任期两年，可连任一届。五位副编辑将于2016年1月退休：M。来自德雷克塞尔大学的Brian Blake，来自澳大利亚RMIT大学的Athman Bouguettaya，来自香港中文大学的Michael Rung-Tsong Lyu，来自UCSB的Louis Moser和来自荷兰Twente大学的Wil M.P.货车der阿尔斯特。本人谨代表台糖供应链执行顾问委员会，感谢他们为台糖供应链的成长所提供的服务及贡献。最后，李博士。来自IBMTJWatson的Chang自2015年秋季起被任命为副主编。服务计算研究正进入一个激动人心的时代。随着大数据和物联网的出现，数据在过去十年中一直是互联网上快速增长的现象。工程大数据分析需要在提供数据分析即服务（DAaaS）方面取得重大进展。尽管我们已经目睹了许多硬件基础设施、计算平台和软件应用程序作为外包和托管服务提供，但大数据分析尚未被打包和外包为大规模"拨号"服务，这是由于1）使用传统分析平台和工具将大数据与丰富的分析模型连接起来所涉及的复杂性和高成本，2）需要创新方法来执行跨层和跨网络关联和知识发现，以及3）缺乏对弹性和多租户分析的支持，这些分析可以随着大数据的指数增长和分析应用程序不断变化的需求而无缝扩展。在2016年，TSC将继续改善尖端服务计算研究的覆盖面，包括在其定期问题中突出专题部分，并继续吸引对其调查部分的贡献。我们将致力于在服务计算方面追求商业和企业的观点，并鼓励在商业，科学和工程学科中提供数据分析服务的研究工作。例如，题为“寻找服务研究的新方向”的特别部分将出现在2016年TSC问题之一中，来自企业管理，服务研究和计算机科学的客座编辑：亚利桑那州立大学商学院教授兼主席迈克尔·古尔和TSC执行顾问董事会成员保罗·马格里奥，INFORMS Service Science的主编和TSC编委会成员帕特里克洪。我们预期这类特刊有助扩阔TSC的范围，并吸引商界及管理界的读者及作者。我对TSC在2015年取得的里程碑感到非常高兴。我想借此机会感谢作者、读者、审稿人、TSC顾问委员会成员、TSC编辑委员会成员、IEEE和IEEE计算机协会的工作人员，特别是克莉丝汀·库尔扎瓦女士的持续贡献。他们为海训方案迄今取得的每一项成功作出了重大贡献，包括维持平均两至三个月的审查周期和平均六至八个月的排队时间。祝您2016年快乐、成功。一如以往，我们乐于听取您对2015年改善TSC的建议和意见。我期待着你作为作者、读者、评论家和志愿者的继续支持。
IEEE Transactions on Services Computing (TSC) will celebrate its ninth anniversary in 2016. In the first issue of 2016, I would like to report the achievements of TSC to our readers, authors, reviewers, TSC editorial board and TSC executive advisory board. First, TSC has gained its impact factor of 3.049 and its five-year impact factor of 3.181, which places TSC in the elite class of highly ranked peer reviewed journals in both IEEE publications and other international journal publications. Second, TSC has enjoyed its first year in 2015 as a bi-monthly journal and publishes every twomonths and six issues annually, instead of quarterly from 2008-2014. This helps TSC to reduce the time from acceptance to publication for all accepted papers. Third, the number of submissions TSC receives continues to grow. In response to the growing community, including both authors and readers, as of December 2015, TSC editorial board has 48 distinguished associate editors, including 12 IEEE Fellows, 1 ACM Fellow, 5 AAAS Fellows, and 2 members of the Academy of Europe (Academia Europaea). Three associate editors have joined the TSC editorial boards in 2015: Carl K. Chang, Derek L. Nazareth, and Eleni Stroulia. All associate editors will serve one term of two years with renewal of another term. Five associate editors are retiring in January 2016: M. Brian Blake fromDrexel University, Athman Bouguettaya fromRMIT university inAustralia,Michael Rung-Tsong Lyu from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Louis Moser from UCSB, and Wil M.P. van der Aalst from Twente University, The Netherlands. On behalf of TSC executive advisory board, I thank them for their services and contributions to the growth of TSC. Finally, Dr. RongN. Chang from IBMTJWatson has been appointed to serve as an Associate Editor-in-Chief since Fall 2015. Services computing research is entering an exciting time. Data has been the number 1 fast growing phenomenon on the Internet for the last decade with the emergence of Big Data and Internet of Things. Engineering big data analytics demands significant advances in delivering data analysis as a service (DAaaS). Although we have witnessed numerous hardware infrastructures, computing platforms and software applications being offered as outsourced and managed services, big data analytics have not yet been packaged and outsourced as large scale “dialtone” services due to 1) the complexity and high cost involved in using conventional analytic platforms and tools to connect big data with rich models of analytics, 2) the need for innovative approaches to perform cross-layer and cross-network correlation and knowledge discovery, and 3) the lack of support for elastic and multi-tenant analytics that can seamlessly scale with the exponential growth of big data and the evolving demands of analytic applications. In 2016, TSCwill continue to improve the coverage of cutting-edge Services Computing research, including featuring the special topic sections in its regular issues and continuing to attract contributions to its surveys section. We will engage new efforts on pursuing business and enterprise perspectives in services computing and encouraging research efforts on delivering data analytics as a service in business, science and engineering disciplines. For example, a special section entitled “In Search of a New Alignment in Service Research” will appear in one of the 2016 TSC issues, with the guest editors from business management, services research and computer science: Michael Goul, a professor and chair of the business school in Arizona State University, and a member of TSC executive advisor board members, Paul Maglio, the Editor-in-Chief of INFORMS Service Science and Patrick Hung, a member of the TSC editorial board. We expect such type of special issues to help broaden the scope of TSC and attract readership and authorship from business and management community. I am very pleased with the milestones that TSC has achieved in 2015. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the continual contributions from the authors, readers, reviewers, TSC advisory board members, TSC editorial board members, the staff of IEEE and IEEE Computer Society, especially Ms. Christine Kurzawa. They have made significant contributions to every success that TSC has made to date, including maintaining the average review cycle of two to three months and the average queuing time of six-eight months for accepted papers to appear. I would like to wish you a happy and successful 2016. As always, we love to hear your suggestions and comments on the ways to improve TSC in 2015. I look forward to your continued support as an author, a reader, a reviewer, and a volunteer.
