Organized by:
   FEUP: Faculdade de Engenharia, Universidade do Porto, Portugal 
(www.fe.up.pt)

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

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.

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