Service Science enables people, enterprises, and societies to build knowledge - concepts, methods, properties, platforms, environments - by applying multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional and multi-national approaches. It is in this context that we have introduced the IESS series of International Conferences to offer researchers and practitioners the possibility to present and discuss their research in the Exploration of Service Science. Nowadays, Service Science has become more and more relevant for clarifying complex situations, which individuals, companies, corporations, and other types of organizations are facing. In fact, Service Science enters a new phase, where knowledge plays a pivotal role in all the developments. The IESS 1.5 conference, the sixth edition in the series, in addition to the topics discussed during previous years, introduces new and complementary topics such as: - Relations between classical economics and a theory of economy that takes into account Society development due to services. Is there a simple alignment? What are the new value propositions and business models? - Environments which efficiently contribute to co-exploration and co-creation of multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional and multi-national services. Do such environments require a simple adjustment of currently known environments? - What is the role of services in the integration of the new possibilities powered by IT, such as open data, big data, cloud computing, cognitive computing, and intelligent societies? - Are services most useful to simply ameliorate the systems, which are already developed and functioning, or are they crucial to deal with those situations, to which we cannot provide well-grounded answers? - Are the risks in development of services the same as those of any IT project or any infrastructure project? - How Service Science supports the development of common goods? - How to develop generic models for the process of service construction? - Are traditional approaches of management, marketing, public administration, law, medicine, natural sciences, engineering, computer science, information systems suitable for Service Science? Is it enough to apply simple alignment and to establish simple adjustments? Or should they be rethought, in order to contribute efficiently to service development? The topics from previous IESS Conferences are still valid. Contributions should address one or several topics of the following list, be grounded in one or several contexts, and be open to multi-disciplinary approaches. Service innovation Value models Innovation/Creation process Business trends Technological trends People trends Service innovation and strategy
Service exploration Consumer service needs modelling Supplier service modelling Business services requirements modelling Service information & process modelling Service exploration process
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
IT based service engineering New service business models Ontologies and interoperability Web-services, Service-oriented architectures Ubiquitous & mobile computing Service orchestration, choreography, composition COTS, Enterprise architectures Service security and safety engineering
Service sustainability IT service management IS service management Service management Governance of service systems Service System networks
The conference organisers solicit theoretical, experimental, or survey‐based papers that make a novel contribution. Submissions should describe original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal. Topics include, but are not restricted to, the areas indicated by the topics mentioned above. You can participate on the conference and discuss your work either by submitting an abstract (1,000 words maximum) or a paper. Accepted abstracts will be published in an internal publication to be delivered to the conference attendees. Only accepted papers will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing. Papers should not exceed 5,000 words. A separate cover sheet should be enclosed containing the title of the paper, the author(s) and affiliation(s), and the address (including e-mail address and fax number) to which correspondence should be sent. This is the only place where the names of the authors should appear. The cover sheet should also contain 2 - 3 keywords indicating the area of the paper.
PUBLICATION OF PAPERS
Proceedings of IESS will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Business Information. Processing (LNBIP). The best papers of the conference will be proposed for publication (after revision and additional refereeing) in special issues of International Journals. Proceedings of previous IESS Conferences have been published by Springer as Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing, ISSN 1865-1348 and they were indexed by SCOPUS, EI and DBLP databases. Proceedings of the IESS 2010, 2011 and 2012 are indexed by ISI Proceedings and IESS 2013 and 2014 editions are on the process of being indexed in Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index. Select papers accepted by IESS 1.5 will also be invited to submit to the INFORMS journal, Service Science (http://pubsonline.informs.org/journal/serv).
SUBMISSIONS
Submission instructions can be found on the conference website www.fe.up.pt/iess1.5. Only electronic submissions through EasyChair will be accepted.
