CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS

Book:  Demand-Driven Web Services: Theory, Technologies and Applications

Edited by Zhaohao Sun and John Yearwood

To be published by IGI Global, USA

Theme

Web services are playing a pivotal role both in business, service
computing and social networking services, and cloud computing. This is
also the case in the traditional FREG (foods, resources, energy and
goods) services, because almost all traditional services are replaced
fully or partially by web services. Demand-driven web services (DDWS)
as a tri-paradigm, a computing paradigm, a service paradigm, and a
management paradigm, is becoming important for web services, service
computing, cloud computing, and social networking computing. However,
many fundamental issues in developing DDWS remain open. For example,
what is the demand theory of web services? What is a demand-driven
architecture of web services? How should real world demands be
classified? How should web services be classified? How can an ontology
of web services be developed? This book will address these issues by
exploring the cutting-edge theory, technologies, and methodologies of
demand driven web services based on the novel classification of
demands and web services emphasizing cloud services, mobile services,
social networking services and e-business services from a perspective
of computing, service and management. This book also provides
applications of the proposed theory, technologies and methodologies to
successful demand-driven web services in the real world. The proposed
approaches will facilitate research and development of web services,
e-business, service computing, mobile computing, cloud computing, and
social computing.

Aims and Scope

This book aims at a broad audience of researchers and practitioners,
and provides the reader with an updated understanding of demand-driven
web services, cloud services, mobile services, and social networking
services by attracting high quality manuscripts from academic
researchers, policy makers and practitioners in this area. Papers of
all theoretical and technological approaches and applications are
welcome.

Submissions that cross multiple disciplines such as service, business,
management, industry, information systems, and intelligent systems to
develop theory and provide technologies and applications that could
move theory and practice forward in demand-driven web services, cloud
services, mobile services, e-business services, and social networking
services are especially encouraged.

Topics

Topics of contributions include, but are not limited to, the following

Part I.  Theory of demand-driven web services

·         Topics: fundamental concepts, models, architectures,
frameworks, schemes or
theories for planning, designing, building, operating or evaluating,
managing
demand-driven web services.

Part II. Technologies for demand-driven web services

·         Topics: AI-based technologies as such: rule-based systems,
ontology-development

systems, machine learning techniques,  multi-agent systems techniques,

neural networks systems, fuzzy logic systems, cased-based reasoning
systems, genetic algorithms techniques, data mining algorithms,
intelligent agents, user intelligent interfaces;  and emergent
AI-based technologies, Web technologies, service technologies, social
networking technologies, decision making technologies, DSS
technologies are welcome

Part III. Applications for demand-driven web services

·         Topics: case studies and applications in using technologies
and fundamental theory in Part I, II in the representative service
domains such as: e-business services, mobile services, social
networking services, cloud services, financial services, legal
services, healthcare services, logistics services, educational
services, e- FREG services, and military services taking into account
demands from government, organization, enterprise, community,
individual, customer, and citizen.

Part IV. Trends and Challenges on demand-driven web services

·         Topics: emergent AI-based technologies, technologies of Big
data, social networking services, integrations of these technologies,
and the implications, challenges for demand-driven web services.

Part V. Emerging demands and emerging demand-driven web services.

·         Topics:  Emerging demands, emerging technologies including
human computation and big data management, methodologies for
demand-driven web services.

Submission Procedure

Please submit a brief summary, consisting of about 150 words, of the
proposed chapter clearly identifying the main objectives of your
contribution by March 8, 2013. Authors of the accepted proposals will
be notified and provided with detailed guidelines. Full chapters are
to be submitted by April 30, 2013.

All submissions through emails should be electronically sent to the
book editors Dr Zhaohao Sun of University of Ballarat. email:
z.sun at ballarat.edu.au, and Prof. John Yearwood at jly at ballarat.edu.au

Submission Format and Evaluation

Every book chapter submission should consist of 8,000-12,000 words,
and be structured into sections including Abstract, Introduction,
background (or related work), main sections, future research
directions, conclusion, references. Every book chapter must be
submitted in Microsoft® Word, and be typewritten in English in APA
style based on “manage source” function.

Every book chapter submission is original. Only ORIGINAL articles will
be accepted for publication by IGI-Global. Upon acceptance of your
article, you will be required to sign a warranty that your article is
original and has NOT been submitted for publication or published
elsewhere.

Each chapter will be evaluated by at least two academic peers on
related themes in a blind mode. Conditioned chapters will have an
additional opportunity for being improved and evaluated. In the second
evaluation, a definitive editorial decision among: accepted or
rejected will be reported. All of the accepted chapters must be
submitted according to the Editorial publishing format rules timely.

Important Dates

·   March  8, 2013:  Submission of Abstract of the proposed chapter to
the editors (which is optional)

·   April 30, 2013:  submission deadline of first version of full chapters.

·   June 15, 2013: notification deadline of editorial results
(definitively accepted chapter, conditioned chapter, or definitively
rejected chapter).

·   Early 2014: the book is scheduled for release.
