TRACK COVERAGE
This track is a broad-based call for research aimed at designing and
developing ICTs with a special emphasize on Service Management. In this
track we seek to explore the status of international research about the
ways in which new ICT designs allow organizations to store and process
information and contemporary avenues for ICT development. By this we
mean, how organizations extract value from ICTs through, e.g., effective
strategy, design and development processes. This includes the general
application and understanding of Service Management as well as how the
ideas relate to IT services.

research-in-progress papers, teaching cases, and panel proposals in the
following areas (but not limited to):
