Wireless and ubiquitous connectivity have enabled mobile computing and Internet access on the go as a life-enhancing and indispensable experience of modern life. Mobile networks has become a new services consumption and delivery platform for many industries and government organizations worldwide. The 2013 IEEE International Conference on Mobile Services (MS) aims at providing an international forum that is dedicated to explore different aspects of mobile services, from business, management to computing systems, algorithms, and applications and to promote technological innovations in research and development of mobile services, including, but not limited to, wireless networks, sensor networks, mobile computing, mobile enterprise, mobile eCommerce, collaborative computing and social networks. As an integral part of the Federated Conferences in Service Computing, sponsored by IEEE Computer Society since 2003, research papers accepted by IEEE MS 2013 will be presented to a broader audience at the federated conferences in service computing.

Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society's Technical Committee on Services Computing (TC-SVC), 2013 IEEE World Congress on Services (SERVICES 2013) aims to serve as a federation to host the following five theme topic conferences to explore the deep knowledge space of Services Computing in different directions:

• The 2013 IEEE 6th International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD 2013) is the flagship theme-topic conference for modeling, developing, publishing, monitoring, managing, delivering XaaS (everything as a service) in the context of various types of cloud environments.

• The 2013 IEEE 20th International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2013) is the flagship theme-topic conference for Web-based services, featuring Web services modeling, development, publishing, discovery, composition, testing, adaptation, and delivery, and Web services technologies as well as standards.

•  The 2013 IEEE 10th International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2013) is the flagship theme-topic conference for services innovation lifecycle that includes enterprise modeling, business consulting, solution creation, services orchestration, services optimization, services management, services marketing, business process integration and management.

•  The 2013 IEEE International Conference on Mobile Services (MS 2013) is the emerging theme-topic conference for the development, publication, discovery, orchestration, invocation, testing, delivery, and certification of mobile applications and services.

• The 2013 IEEE International Congress on Big Data(BigData Congress 2013) is the emerging theme-topic conference for economic and enterprise transformation aspects of the utility-oriented services paradigm and its business insight enabler: Big Data.
