CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS
Book: Demand-Driven Web Services: Theory, Technologies and
Applications
Edited by Zhaohao Sun and John Yearwood
To be released by IGI Global, USA in early 2014
Theme
Web services are playing a pivotal role both in business,
service computing and social networking services, and cloud
computing. This is also the case in the traditional FREG (foods,
resources, energy and goods) services, because almost all
traditional services are replaced fully or partially by web
services. Demand-driven web services (DDWS) as a tri-paradigm, a
computing paradigm, a service paradigm, and a management
paradigm, is becoming important for web services, service
computing, cloud computing, and social networking computing.
However, many fundamental issues in developing DDWS remain open.
For example, what is the demand theory of web services? What is
a demand-driven architecture of web services? How should real
world demands be classified? How should web services be
classified? How can an ontology of web services be developed?
This book will address these issues by exploring the
cutting-edge theory, technologies, and methodologies of demand
driven web services based on the novel classification of demands
and web services emphasizing cloud services, mobile services,
social networking services and e-business services
from a perspective of computing, service and management. This
book also provides applications of the proposed theory,
technologies and methodologies to successful demand-driven web
services in the real world. The proposed approaches will
facilitate research and development of web services, e-business,
service computing, mobile computing, cloud computing, and social
computing.
Aims and Scope
This book aims at a broad audience of researchers and
practitioners, and provides the reader with an updated
understanding of demand-driven web services, cloud services,
mobile services, and social networking services by attracting
high quality manuscripts from academic researchers, policy
makers and practitioners in this area. Papers of all theoretical
and technological approaches and applications are welcome.
Submissions that cross multiple disciplines such as service,
business, management, industry, information systems, and
intelligent systems to develop theory and provide technologies
and applications that could move theory and practice forward in
demand-driven web services, cloud services, mobile services,
e-business services, and social networking services are
especially encouraged.
Topics
Topics of contributions include, but are not limited to, the
following
Part I. Theory of demand-driven web services
* Topics: fundamental concepts, models, architectures,
frameworks, schemes or
theories for planning, designing, building, operating or
evaluating, managing
demand-driven web services.
Part II. Technologies for demand-driven web services
* Topics: AI-based technologies as such: rule-based systems,
ontology-development systems, machine learning techniques,
multi-agent systems techniques, neural networks systems, fuzzy
logic systems, cased-based reasoning systems, genetic algorithms
techniques, data mining algorithms, intelligent agents, user
intelligent interfaces; and emergent AI-based technologies, Web
technologies, service technologies, social networking
technologies, decision making technologies, DSS technologies are
welcome.
Part III. Applications for demand-driven web services
* Topics: case studies and applications in using technologies
and fundamental theory in Part I, II in the representative
service domains such as: e-business services, mobile services,
social networking services, cloud services, financial services,
legal services, healthcare services, logistics services,
educational services, e- FREG services, and military services
taking into account demands from government, organization,
enterprise, community, individual, customer, and citizen.
Part IV. Trends and Challenges on demand-driven web services
* Topics: emergent AI-based technologies, technologies of Big
data, social networking services, integrations of these
technologies, and the implications, challenges for demand-driven
web services.
Part V. Emerging demands and emerging demand-driven
web services.
* Topics: Emerging demands, emerging technologies including
human computation and big data management, methodologies for
demand-driven web services.
Submission Procedure
Please submit a brief summary, consisting of about 150 words,
of the proposed chapter clearly identifying the main objectives
of your contribution by April 8, 2013. Authors of the accepted
proposals will be notified and provided with detailed
guidelines. Full chapters are to be submitted by May 30, 2013.
Submission Format and Evaluation
Every book chapter submission should consist of 8,000-12,000
words, and be structured into sections including Abstract,
Introduction, background (or related work), main sections,
future research directions, conclusion, references.
Every book chapter must be submitted in Microsoft® Word, and
be typewritten in English in APA style based on “manage source”
function.
Every book chapter submission is original. Only ORIGINAL
articles will be accepted for publication by IGI-Global. Upon
acceptance of your article, you will be required to sign a
warranty that your article is original and has NOT been
submitted for publication or published elsewhere.
Each chapter will be evaluated by at least two academic peers
on related themes in a blind mode. Conditioned chapters will
have an additional opportunity for being improved and evaluated.
In the second evaluation, a definitive
editorial decision among: accepted or rejected will be
reported. All of the accepted chapters must be submitted
according to the Editorial publishing format rules timely.
Instructions for authors can be downloaded at:
Important Dates
* April 8, 2013: Submission of Abstract of the proposed
chapter to the editors
* May 30, 2013: submission deadline of first version of full
chapters.
* July 15, 2013: notification deadline of editorial results
(definitively accepted chapter, conditioned chapter, or
definitively rejected chapter).
* Early 2014: the book is scheduled for release.
