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.

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.

·       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. Instructions for authors can be downloaded
at:  http://www.igi-global.com/Files/AuthorEditor/guidelinessubmission.pdf
Important Dates

·         March  8, 2013:  Submission of Abstract of the proposed chapter
to the editors

·         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.
