Organized by:

  FEUP: Faculdade de Engenharia, Universidade do Porto, Portugal
(www.fe.up.pt [4])

With the support of:

  ISS: Institute of Service Science, Université de Genève, Switzerland
(iss.unige.ch)

  SSI: Service Science and Innovation, Public Research Centre Henri
Tudor, Luxembourg (www.ssi.tudor.lu [5])

Since 2010, the IESS conferences provide a forum for the presentation
and exchange of research results and practical experiences within the
new field of Service Science, bringing together researchers and
practitioners from many different areas.

Services represent the largest sector of the economy in many nations.
Service Science aims to understand and study the conception, design,
implementation, deployment, maintenance and operation of services, in
particular technology based services such as IT services. Service
Science represents an interdisciplinary approach to systematic
innovation in service systems, integrating management, social, legal 
and
engineering aspects to address the theoretical and practical aspects of
the challenging services industry and of its economy.

Building on previous editions and the growing momentum in this emerging
and exciting discipline, IESS is further strengthening its position as
an academic conference focusing on the exploratory aspects surrounding
service science. The goal of IESS is to offer academics, researchers 
and
practitioners of all disciplines this exploratory forum to communicate
and share results. The conference programme will feature paper
presentations, workshops, and interactive panel sessions.

In February 2013 the conference will be held in Porto, Portugal,
declared by UNESCO as World Heritage in 1996. Porto is also the most
important centre of education and research in the North of Portugal. 
The
conference and associated workshops and panels will be held in the
campus of FEUP, the School of Engineering of the University of Porto, 
in
the heart of the main research and academic district of the city.

CONFERENCE THEME

ENHANCING SERVICE SYSTEM FUNDAMENTALS AND EXPERIENCES

Complex multi technology based service systems are being deployed
covering most aspects of life in our society. The sustainability of
service systems involves technical, economic, and social responsibility
issues, and therefore its fundamentals need to be better understood.
Opportunities for radical innovation arise in this environment, and new
transdisciplinary exploratory work is deemed essential to address all
the challenges being faced. Service system value co-creation requires
also improved understanding of the experiences that are being designed
for the benefit of everyone. Service Science needs to explore enhanced
methods, approaches and techniques for a more sustainable and inclusive
economy and society.

**************************

**************************

CALL FOR PAPERS AND SHORT PAPERS

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.

Papers should not exceed 5,000 words. Short papers should not exceed
2,000 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.

The best short papers will also be accepted for publication in the
Proceedings.

Submissions should follow the Springer Lecture Notes in Business
Information Processing template available on the IESS 1.3 Web page.

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.
