Call for Papers: 4th International Workshop on
Service Orientation in Computing and Logistics
(SOC-LOG
2016)
In conjunction with the 19th International
Conference
on Business Information Systems (BIS 2016)
July 6-8, 2016, Leipzig, Germany
Workshop website:
http://bis.kie.ue.poznan.pl/bis2016/workshops/soc-log-2016/
++ Deadline for submission: May 22, 2016 ++
++ Springer LNBIP proceedings ++
===================================================================
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
references)
or
- Work-in-progress papers (up to 6 pages
including
references)
on the listed or related topics.
Papers must be submitted in PDF format
according to
the Springer LNBIP
template. All submissions must be blinded and
will
be peer-reviewed
by at least three members of the program
committee.
Please submit papers via our electronic
submission
system which is
available at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=soclog2016.
At least one author of each accepted paper
needs to
register for the
conference for the paper to be included in
proceedings.
Revised papers presented at the workshop will
be published
in BIS 2016
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
second review
round.
