The 2012 Service Cup is the seventh episode of the series of contest. The contest opens to talented students (Students Group) and industry practitioners (Professionals Group). The contest focuses on using the SOA methodologies, solution reference architectures, and tools to solve real world problems. We choose a different theme each year, while the real world application is chosen by the participants. In 2012, we decide to have two themes - cloud computing and SOA. The two themes are interlinked. The teams can choose to build their application as a classic SOA system, or can explore the new potentials of Clouds.

The Service Cup aims to apply SOA and cloud computing in solving real world problems, and promote education of related techniques at undergraduate and graduate level. In the past, our participants studied a wide range of problems, from business intelligence to social software, from algorithms to developing software engineering toolkits.
