CALL FOR SHORT PAPERS First International Conference on Exploring Services Sciences � Geneva - Switzerland, http://iess.unige.ch Conference: 17-18-19 February 2010 Submission intention: 10 November 2009 (Instructions included below) Deadline: 30 November 2009 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Theme: 'Services Science Challenges, Issues and Research Potential� ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. ---------------------------------- Call for short papers ----------------------------------- The purpose of the short papers session is to provide a forum for the presentation of recent work, preliminary results, and even highly-innovative ideas. Contributions for the IESS1.0 conference should address the range of topics in Services sciences. Researchers are invited to submit their manuscripts (research-in-progress, current issues, state of the art�) across a range of parallel topics. All accepted short papers are published in the proceedings. Best submitted papers could be selected and invited to submit an extended paper to one of these international journals:
�International Journal of Service Science, Management, Engineering, and Technology IJSSMET, IGI Global. �Journal of Service Science (JoSS), Springer, Journal no. 12927. �International Journal of Information Systems in the Service Sector (IJISSS), IGI Global. Short Papers must be prepared using the Springer-Verlag instructions for authors (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-72376-0). Short papers may be up to 5 pages. Papers must be submitted in PDF format to mehdi.snene@unige.ch.
Submission Intention ==================== Just send an email with your affiliation and the potential title of your short paper to mehdi.snene@unige.ch.
