CALL FOR PAPERS
First International Conference on Exploring Services Science
IESS 1.0
Geneva, Switzerland, February 17-18-19, 2010
http://iess.unige.ch/
OVERVIEW
========
Services Science is not a cosmetic change of existing things. Introduced
by IBM in 2002, it has now emerged and matured in a true
trans-disciplinary atmosphere. Encompassing disciplines not only in
management and engineering, it also draws from disciplines such as social
and cognitive sciences, law, ethics, economics etc. to address the
theoretical and practical aspects of the challenging services industry and
its economy.
Services Science leverages methods, results and knowledge stemming from
these disciplines towards the development of its own concepts, methods,
techniques and approaches thus creating the basis for true
trans-disciplinary gatherings and the production of trans-disciplinary
results. Services Science is building a concrete framework for
trans-disciplinary purposes.
Thus �service� must be considered in this conference with its multiple
facets: economic, organizational, social, collective, ontological,
regulatory, secure, etc. and also, of course, implemented by means of
informatics. Sometimes it is referred to as information services to
distinguish its restricted meanings in various disciplines like Economy or
Informatics.
The goal of this first conference is to build upon this growing community
to further study and understand this emerging discipline. Academics,
researchers and practitioners of all disciplines are expected to
contribute their results and approaches to Services Science in a
trans-disciplinary setting. In order to achieve the best possible mix of
disciplines and their representation, the conference is structured around
Service research topics, which are trans-disciplinary and around Service
contexts, which are more disciplinary oriented.
The contributions should address one or several topics, be grounded in one
or several contexts and be open to trans-disciplinary approaches.
RESEARCH TOPICS
===============
Research topics follow the Services lifecycle and include (not limited to)
the following subtopics. Contributions addressing more than one topic are
encouraged.
1. Service innovation: Value models, Innovation/Creation process, Business
trends, Technological trends, People trends, Service innovation and
strategy.
2. Service exploration: Consumer service needs modeling, Supplier service
modeling, Business services requirements modeling, Service information &
process modeling, Service exploration process.
3. Service design : Service design methodologies and patterns, Service and
re-design of organization of activities, Service co-design environments,
tools, Requirements oriented towards services, Design of complex services,
Service compliance with laws and regulations, Service security and safety.
4. Service engineering: Ontologies and interoperability, Web-services,
Service-oriented architectures, Ubiquitous & mobile computing, Service
orchestration, choreography, composition, COTS, Enterprise architectures,
Service security and safety engineering.
5. Service sustainability:
- IT service management: IT governance, Compliance with laws and
regulations;
- IS service management: Project management for IS services, Service
evolution, QoS management (e.g. performance, trust, security, utility,
usability), Business intelligence;
- Service management: Service operations & marketing, Services and
strategy, Future trends in services.
CONTEXTS OF THE CONTRIBUTIONS
=============================
The contexts of the contributions reflect the trans-disciplinary
atmosphere of Services Science and the particular role of information
technology (IT) within them: they are organized along four main
dimensions:
- the first one addresses Services on a disciplinary/sector basis;
- the second one covers IT;
- the third one addresses the emergent foundations of the Science of
Services;
- the last one covers aspects of governance and management.
Contributions addressing more that one of these themes are encouraged.
1. Sectors and services
Contributions are sought from specialists to help uncover how, as
specialists in their own sectors, they implicitly or explicitly use this
notion of Services. The list of sectors include (not limited to) Services
in: Public administration, Government and Citizen, Banking, Finance and
Insurance Services, Food and Agriculture, Geo localization, Education,
Entertainment, Healthcare, Environment and Sustainable Development, Legal,
Engineering, Linguistics, Culture, Tourism and Hospitality.
2. IT and services
Information Technology (IT) is traditionally structured around isolated or
siloed services. Services Science has now opened a whole scientific domain
where such technologies offer opportunities for emerging interoperable
scientific knowledge patterns among them as well as with other
disciplines.
Contributions are sought from specialists to help uncover how to integrate
IT into a trans-disciplinary process geared towards the development and
management of Services. This includes (not limited to) IT in: Mobiles,
ubiquitous and ambient technologies, Multimedia technologies, Grid and
utility computing, SOA, Security, Collaborative systems, Social networking
systems.
3. Foundations of Services Science
Given the variety of contexts for Services, it is necessary to study,
build and strengthen the scientific foundations of Services Science.
Contributions are sought to discover what is the common knowledge, what
are the common scientific frameworks and methodologies of Services
Science. Topics may cover (not limited to): Service evolution and
customization, Service for interoperating knowledge of various
disciplines, Ontologies for services, Interoperable services, composition
of services, Integration of services into information systems, Integration
services into organizations, Collaborative and trans-disciplinary methods
for developing services, Service methods, service life cycle, Service
economics, Service governance, risk and compliance, Security, trust in
services.
4. Governance and management
Fully dematerialized organisations and societies require revisiting and
adapting, through trans-disciplinary approaches, theories and practices,
which have dominated product oriented economies in the past. Contributions
are sought from specialists to set up the fundamentals of such
dematerialized organizations at the global level and to analyze the
transformation process of product-oriented economies towards
service-oriented economies.
How do we market and monetize services? What is supply chain in services?
What is service risk management? Topics in governance and management of
dematerialized organizations and societies include (not limited to) :
Human Resources, Marketing, Finance, accounting and cost accounting,
Planning and forecasting, Strategy and innovation, Logistics, Business
administration, Management of Services.

Mission
The mission of the Journal of Information Privacy and Security (JIPS) is
to serve both academics and practitioners as a reliable source on issues
of information privacy and security. The Journal is a high quality
refereed journal that seeks support from academicians, industry experts
and specific government agencies. The JIPS focuses on publishing
articles that address the paradoxical nature of privacy versus security
amidst current global conditions. It is increasingly important that
various constituents of information begin to understand their role in
finding solutions to achieve a delicate balance between security and
privacy.
The JIPS will facilitate understanding of the information assurance
technical framework as it pertains to government agencies, companies and
individuals. The topics may include the information privacy and security
issues pertaining to initiatives on counter-terrorism efforts around the
world, the impact of U.S. federal regulation and compliance issues
facing global corporations, the impact of privacy and security
initiatives within small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and e-gambling.
Article submissions are encouraged from both academics and
practitioners. Each issue will include high quality articles from
academics and practitioners, case studies, book reviews, and industry
interviews. The Journal addresses issues of privacy and security from a
global perspective and will consider articles with a cross-functional
focus. The Journal will include articles in the following areas:
- Information Assurance frameworks
- Network security and impact on corporate infrastructure
- Privacy laws and impact on information compliance issues
- The duality of privacy and security and impact on corporate operations
- Governmental regulations and changes on information security
requirements
- Data transfer issues across nations, states, and corporations
