The 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Barriers towards INternet-Driven Information Services (BINDIS 2009)
http://conferences.computer.org/compsac/2009/workshops/BINDIS2009CFP.htm
IN CONJUNCTION WITH COMPSAC 2009 (Seattle, USA, July 20 - July 24, 2009)

GOAL OF THE WORKSHOP
--------------------
Service sector forms a growing portion of world economy, accounting at the moment under 50% and around 70% of the total value adds in the developing and developed countries, respectively. Yet, this sector is still lagging behind other industry sectors, such as manufacturing, in terms of overall productivity. The advent of the Internet shortens the distance between service providers and service consumers which, coupled with the ever-increasing computing power, has become a key driver in brewing a new wave of business and technical models, promising to boost the productivity in the service sector.
A full End-to-End (E2E) service cycle covers stages of service creation, marketing, delivery and management. It is only recently that the importance of examining the scale, complexity and interdependence of service systems, in the lights of globalisation, demographic changes and technology developments, have been highlighted, calling for actions from education, research, business and government alike. A first symposium on ?Service Science, Management and Engineering? and a first international conference on service science were held in Cambridge (2007) and Beijing (2008) respectively.
Service science is still in its infancy, existing main driving forces in this area are from traditional hardware and software vendors who, while possessing tremendous knowledge and experience in computing, are restricted in the width and depth of visions in service applications. This workshop intends to fill the gap; in particular, it focuses on the fundamental issues in the service sector that are the major barriers towards more efficient and effective service flows over the Internet. Some exemplar questions to answer are:
? How to implement customers? functional and non-functional requirements in a cost-effective way?
? How to maximise the reach of services to potential customers by spending least effort?
? How do we gather information from a variety of sources that could be created independently?
? How can customers find the services they need without special knowledge on products or services?
? How to determine optimal service-level agreements based on actual enterprise resources and to control their compliances?
Following the successful running of BINDIS?08 that was held in Turku, Finland, 2008, we now continue to run the second in a series in Seattle, Washington, 2009. This year?s theme is ?Enabling Technologies for Services Standardisation?.
The workshop will act as a unique forum to
? Identify key barriers towards efficient and effective service flows over the Internet
? Provide catalyst to formulate innovative solutions for improved service flows
? Define future research agenda that helps to boost productivity in the service industry via ICT
THEMES AND SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP
--------------------------------
The workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners to share research results, advances and practical experience related to internet-driven information services, with focus on tackling barriers towards maintainability, interoperability, comprehensibility, usability and controllability, in order to extend the reach and uses of services over the Internet in a cost-effective way. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
? Service creation
- Software as a service
- Software repository and reuse
- Service oriented architecture, analysis and design
- Service conceptual modeling, composition and orchestration
? Service marketing
- Market detection and segmentation
- Demand forecasting and resource planning
- Service directory, semantics, pragmatics, markup and matchup
- Economic models for service market
? Service delivery and management
- Service-level agreement and optimisation
- Automated customer service
- Workflow and service chain management
? Industrial service applications
- Hospitality, professional services, outsourcing, public services, etc.

IMPORTANT DATES
---------------
February 16, 2009 Workshop paper submission due
March 30, 2009 Workshop paper notification (electronic)
April 30, 2009 All final manuscript and author pre-registration due
SUBMISSION
----------
Original papers will be considered. All submitted papers will be reviewed by the program committee according to its originality, significance, correctness, presentation, and relevance. We encourage authors to present position papers on practical studies and experiments, critiques of existing work, emerging issues, and novel ideas under development.
Both draft and camera-ready papers must be submitted electronically via the BINDIS 2009 Submission Page. Manuscripts will be limited to six pages for regular/invited paper, four pages for short paper, two pages for fast abstract and position statement including all figures, tables, and references. Extra page charges apply. Please consult COMPSAC Paper Submission page for proper naming convention. The format of submitted papers must follow the IEEE conference proceedings guidelines (i.e., 8.5" x 11", Two-Column Format, Layout Guide).
All accepted papers will be published in the electronic conference proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society, indexed through INSPEC and EI Index (Elsevier's Engineering Information Index), and automatically included in the IEEE Digital Library. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must register as a full participant of COMPSAC for the paper to be included in the proceedings. Each accepted paper must be presented in person by an author.
Authors of a selection of best papers from BINDIS 2009 will also be invited to submit extended versions of the papers to a special issue of a major international journal.
WORKSHOP FORMAT
---------------
The workshop will be organised into sessions for
? Accepted workshop paper presentations
? Keynote speeches, in the areas of service science, software engineering and artificial intelligence
