CALL FOR PAPERS 

IEEE 2014 Second International Workshop on Future Services (FS2014)

One day between June 27 and July 2, 2014, at Hilton Anchorage, Alaska, USA 
within IEEE SERVICES 2014

Description

Services comprise a vital component of the world economy. Technology has enabled a revolutionary approach to both the creation and the delivery of services, modifying the ways we view and perceive our knowledge environment. The field of services has thus grown extensively, and there is an increasing need to develop models and techniques for identifying future services which will expand to all areas of business, government, and academia. The workshop goal is to identify methods that will either predict future services or propose services for future needs. The scope of identifying future service needs can be short term (5 years) or long term (20 years). The workshop seeks to define the next generation of services and bring together big data analysis methods, services analysis techniques, as well as models from other research areas which can be modified to the area of future services.

"It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future." (Markus M. Ronner, 1918)

Topics of interests of FS 2014 include, but are not limited to:

List of Topics

Methods of predicting future services
Temporal analysis of big data in the area of services
Classification of change in service needs over time
Analysis of future requirements of service areas by domain (such as business, government, or academia)
Generic methods for identifying the rise and fall of research areas and technology
Important Dates

(Workshop chairs can grant extension to individuals under special circumstances provided that the hard deadline for the camera-ready version is respected.)
Full Paper Submission Due Date: March 29, 2014
Decision Notification (Electronic): April 12, 2014
Camera-Ready Copy Due Date & Pre-registration Due: May 1, 2014
Paper Submission

Authors are invited to submit full papers (about 8 pages) or short papers (about 4 pages) as per IEEE 8.5 x 11 manuscript guidelines (download Word templates or LaTeX templates ). The submitted papers can only be in the format of PDF or WORD. Please follow the IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings Author Guidelines to prepare your papers, respectively. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to attend the workshop and present the paper. All papers must be submitted via the confhub submission system for the SPE workshop (TBD) .

First time users need to register with the system first (see these instructions for details). All the accepted papers by the workshops will be included in the Proceedings of the IEEE 11th World Congress on Services (SERVICES 2014) which will be published by IEEE Computer Society.
