1 Rationale
Big data have become a strategic resource for organizations, industries,
enterprises, businesses, and individuals as well as national security. Big
Data are also a key enabler of exploring business insights and economics of
services. Big Data are generated from various instruments, sensors,
Internet transactions, emails, videos, click streams, social networking
services and other sources, characterized with at least 10 Bigs: big
volume, big velocity, big variety, big value, big veracity, big market, big
service, big intelligence, big opportunity and big challenge to manage
using traditional (database) and emerging tools and technologies. These 10
Bigs of big data have been challenging many existing sciences,
technologies, methods and techniques in many fields, and then big data has
become a hot research area spanning the fields of computer science,
information technology and information systems to that of engineering,
applied mathematics, optimization, healthcare, business, government, and
telecommunications. Big Data applications are emerging in many disciplines,
fields and industries globally. Nations, organizations, businesses and
individuals have been enjoying the benefits of big data, and are pursuing
more benefits from big data and their technologies and applications.
Services are playing a pivotal role both in nations, organizations,
businesses and individuals, service computing, social computing and cloud
computing. This is also true in the traditional FREG (foods, resources,
energy and goods) services, because almost all traditional services are
fully or partially re-placed by web services. Web services and service
computing are changing our work, life and thinking with the healthy
development service-centred society. Big data driven services are an
emerging frontier for innovations, competences and improving business
performance of governments, organisations and enterprises.
Intelligence is not only a lasting topic for computer science under the
flagship of artificial intelligence (AI) and intelligence computing, but
also an exciting topic for industries, organizations and businesses under
the flagship of business intelligence (BI). AI has facilitated the
development of intelligent services, intelligent manufacturing, and
intelligent systems. BI has promoted the improvement of competence of
business performance, and supported management decision making of
organisations and produced the billionaire level enterprises such as Google
and Facebook.
Based on the above preliminary analysis, big data, big services, big
intelligence and their integration will be the next frontier for
innovation, competence and creation of big values for nations,
organisations, enterprises and individuals.  They will generate new
opportunities and challenges for the research and development of
organizations, businesses, management, decision science, mathematics and
ICT. Big data driven services and big data driven intelligent services with
applications are changing the world and society, how people and
organizations are doing things and making decisions in the future. They are
also changing business models, revenue models, management and decision
making processes in companies and organizations, and affecting usage of
resources including big data in creating products and services.
However, many fundamental issues in developing big data driven services and
intelligence remain open in the emerging age of big data, big service and
big intelligence. For example, what is the fundamental theory of big
services? What is the interrelationship among big data, big service and big
intelligence? What is a big intelligent service? This Special Issue in
IJSSOE will address these issues by exploring the cutting-edge theory,
methods, techniques and applications of big data, service and intelligence.
This Special Issue in IJSSOE also provides applications of the proposed
theory, methods, techniques and applications to successful services and web
services in the real world. The proposed approaches in this special issue
will facilitate research and development of web services, business,
management, intelligence computing, service computing, cloud computing and
social computing.
