CALL FOR PAPERS
***************
We are pleased to announce the XVIII edition of the Spanish Conference on Science and Service Engineering (Jornadas de Ciencia e Ingeniería de Servicios, JCIS 2023) that will be held in Ciudad Real in September 2023.

We are very excited about designing a conference that will maintain the in-person model, which was already a success in the previous edition, and that will attract the interest of both academia and industry. 

GOALS
***************
Over the last few years, software services have emerged as a key factor in the growth of any developed economy. This fact has encouraged a great interest in the different economic actors to develop a "Science of Services". In this sense, University, Industry and Administration aim to create principles, knowledge, methods and techniques to articulate and express their respective responsibilities and activities around the service concept.

The Spanish Conference on Science and Service Engineering (JCIS) is a forum for dissemination, discussion and exchange of knowledge and experiences open to the different actors involved. The focus is not only on new scientific advances, but also on existing technologies in service-oriented computing and business processes, new service engineering practices, and lessons learned through real experiences and case studies. In this context, JCIS brings together communities related to the following areas of interest:

- Service Engineering.
- Web Engineering.
- Business Processes.
- Services and Cloud Computing.
- Internet of Things.
- Pervasive Systems.
- Quantum Computing in Services
- Blockchain.
- Gerontechnology

Within these areas of interest, the conference will focus on the following topics:
- Fundamentals of service and/or process-oriented systems.
- Formal methods and algorithms in science and service engineering. 
- Novel concepts, languages and architectures for science and service engineering.  
- Proofs of concept, case studies, or artifacts focused on service engineering.
- Designing service and/or process-oriented information systems.
- Empirical and reproducible evaluations of service and/or process-oriented information systems.
- Experiences of application of service engineering in organizations.
- Experiences of transferring science and service engineering techniques to industry.
- Use or advance the methodologies of service and/or process-oriented methodologies to support digital innovation.
- Industry challenges for service engineering.
- Application of service science to improve organizational strategy.
- Societal challenges in any of the conference areas of interest.

TYPES OF CONTRIBUTIONS
************************************
The types of contributions that can be sent to this edition of the conference, in Spanish or English, include:

- Long papers. This modality is especially aimed at researchers who want to inform the community about the course of their research, so that they can obtain guidance and establish collaborations with researchers doing related work. Submissions of long papers should have an extension between 8 and 10 pages in LNCS format (detailed below). 

- Short papers, Reflections/Positioning statements, Tool demonstrations, R&I Projects, Contracts with companies. This modality is aimed at presenting incipient works, reflections that encourage debate, tools developed, or newly accepted projects related to any of the detailed areas of interest of the Conference. Papers in this modality must have an extension between 3 and 4 pages in LNCS format (detailed below). Demos must include a link to a demonstration video, and the tool must be presented during the conference.

- Practical/Business experiences. This type of contribution is oriented to companies/administration that wish to transmit to the community problems, experiences, and/or solutions applied in the areas of interest of the Conference. These problems and/or experiences can serve as a bridge of collaboration between academia and the industry. The articles in this modality must have an extension of 1 or 2 pages in the format detailed below.

- Papers already published. The aim of this type of contribution is to collect the works already published on leading journals and conferences with a twofold goal: to publicise them within the conference itself, and to offer them as a guide to the rest of the community. To this end, we request papers published between January 2021 and the below detailed deadline, in journals indexed in JCR or proceedings of international conferences indexed in Class 1 and Class 2 of the GII-GRIN-SCIE ranking, which have not been previously sent to or are already under review in SISTEDES. A paper will be considered published when it has a DOI. An abstract of one page maximum is required, indicating the title, the authors and a summary of the contribution, as well as the reference to the original publication, and a digital copy of the mentioned publication following the format detailed below. Only the abstract will be published in the conference proceedings. 

In order not to violate any copyright, submitted papers must be significantly different from those already published in other forums. Papers will be formally reviewed for evaluating their relevance, originality, technical quality and appropriateness to the conference areas of interests. 

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS
**********************************
The full conference proceedings will be published in electronic format (https://github.com/sistedes/sistedes.template <https://github.com/sistedes/sistedes.template>), with ISBN and legal deposit. To facilitate the dissemination of the papers through their inclusion in the digital library of SISTEDES and other university repositories, authors of accepted contributions will be asked to grant them a Creative Commons (CC) licence. Authors may choose any of the six existing CC licences (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/ <https://creativecommons.org/licenses/>), but the organisation recommends the use of the “CC BY licence”.

The authors of the best papers will receive a diploma in recognition of their contribution. The best papers will also be considered for publication in a special issue of a journal.
