Workshop Theme
==============
Service orientation has become a prevalent
            paradigm for engineering
and managing new forms of smart, highly
            integrative, usage-based
business ecosystems. Its significance is
            being increasingly recognized
by research communities that study new
            approaches for establishing
smart service offerings in different domains.
            Logistics is a service
domain that has a particularly high potential
            of benefiting from
service orientation and service-based
            systems. The objective of
logistics is to service individual firms,
            supply chains and entire
industries with flexible means for realizing
            flows of goods from the
point of origin to the point of destination.
            Logistics relies
essentially on the ability to: (1) share
            resources of different
organizations, (2) provide complex services
            based on configurations
of elementary services, (3) coordinate
            service delivery across
organizations, and (4) maintain an agreed
            quality of service. These
requirements match closely to the key
            characteristics of service-based
 systems. While recent advances in the
            engineering and management of
such systems have been made, still many
            questions regarding the design
of the models and methods to be used as well
            as their efficacy and
usefulness remain to be answered.
This workshop aims at bringing together
            researchers and practitioners
from different, though overlapping areas:
            services computing, information
systems, and logistics/supply chain
            management. The objective is to to
discuss the state of the art, on-going
            projects and open research
questions at the intersection of services
            computing and logistics/supply
chain management. The workshop intends to
            provide a forum for discussing
research approaches that will (1) enhance the
            understanding of the problem
domain, (2) provide ideas to solving
            important problems either in the
domain or the models and methods, or (3)
            evaluate models and methods of
services computing by reporting their use
            through, e.g., case study,
experimentation, simulation. The workshop is
            not restricted to particular
research methods and we will consider both
            conceptual, theoretical
and empirical research, as well as novel
            applications.

Paper Submission and Publication
================================
Authors are invited to submit original
            research papers, as
- Full papers (up to 12 pages including

template. All submissions must be blinded and
            will be peer-reviewed
by at least three members of the program

.
At least one author of each accepted paper
            needs to register for the

post-workshop proceedings, as a volume in
            Springer’s Lecture Notes in
Business Information Processing (LNBIP)
            series. To achieve the highest
quality, revised papers will go through a
