While the pandemic is transforming our normal lives in unprecedented ways, the computing and information services ecosystems have provided much-needed support to the continuity of social interactions and organizational functions. As COVID-19 continues to expose the weaknesses of current services ecosystems, it inspires novel science-driven services and computing research aimed at delivering secure, privacy-aware, resilient, and Internet-scale services during pandemics.
This TSC special track solicits impactful research manuscripts in the areas of services computing that will be of immediate value to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic as well as for future pandemic and crisis situations. Both theoretical and applied/practical contributions are encouraged. The manuscripts are expected to:

Manuscript submission is open and can be submitted until 30 September 2021. Submitted papers will be reviewed as they come. Our goal is to expedite the review process so as to include accepted papers in upcoming issues as soon as possible.
Every submission must include a section justifying how its research contributions address unique open issues relevant to the COVID-19 pandemic and how they are aligned with the research scope of TSC. Please submit your manuscripts (12–14 pages each) through the TSC online system and select “Special track on COVID-19 and Future Pandemics.” Author guidelines are available here. Submitted manuscripts should not have been previously published, nor be currently under review for publication elsewhere. They should provide, at minimum, 30% original technical contributions in comparison to previous publications.
