The Services Sector has account for 79.5% of the GDP of United States in 2016. The world's most services-oriented economy, with services sectors accounting for more than 90% of GDP. The goal of S2 is to foster Building the Modern Services Industry through Services Computing technogies and business innovations.

This scope of Services Computing covers the whole lifecycle of services innovation research that includes business componentization, services modeling, services creation, services realization, services annotation, services deployment, services discovery, services composition, services delivery, service-to-service collaboration, services monitoring, services optimization, as well as services management.

The enabling technology suite includes Web services, service-oriented architecture (SOA), cloud computing, artificial intelligence, cognitive computing, big data, internet of things, edge computing, blockchain, mobile internet, metaverse, business consulting methodology and utilities, business process modeling, transformation and integration.

To rapidly respond to the changing economy, the Technical Activities board at the Services Society (https://ServicesSociety.org/) has created a set of Special Interest Groups (SIGs) as a platform for innovating the services technologies and applications.

The Special Interest Group on Big Data (SIG-BD) promotes creative thinking, long-term visions, and innovative methodologies to respond to the emerging Big Data technologies and applications. The supporting conference is the International Conference on Big Data (BigData, BigDataCongress.org) and the International Conference on Internet of Things (ICIOT, iciot.org).
