Globalization, increasing automation, the growth of the Internet, and the dynamic componentization of business are driving the reconfiguration of service value networks at a scale and pace never before seen in history. The opportunity to innovate in services, to realize business and societal value from knowledge about service, to research, develop, and deliver new information services and business services, has never been greater. The challenges are both the multidisciplinary nature of service innovation, which combines business, technology, social-organizational, and demand innovation as well as the lack of formal representations of service systems. As computer scientists widen their notion of services to include the formal representation, optimization and transformation of service systems, as well as the delivery of more complex business and information services, the opportunities for services innovation will be further enriched [1].

Throughout, this workshop provides an international forum for researcher and industry participants to share and exchange their experiences, discuss challenges and present original ideas on multidisciplinary perspectives on service transformations and innovations.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:

Customer Experience by Design (customer centric culture, design for supportability)

Service Transformation (move from product centric to customer centric)

Creation of Global Service Organizations and Capabilities

Services Economy

Service Operations Optimization

Technology and Infrastructure Planning and Implementation for Services
