</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium; ">Research on service modularity is an emerging, cross-disciplinary field of research. Therefore, this seminar seeks to bring together developments in service modularity andservice
architecture from different disciplines. The seminar is the fourth in a series of successful workshops held in Copenhagen (2010), Helsinki (2011) and London (2012).</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium; "><br>

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium; ">The seminar is open to all researchers interested in the service application of modular principles and practices. As the topic is evolving, presentations and discussions
on all different viewpoints related to service modularity are welcome.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium; "><br>
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium; "><br>
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium; ">Especially PhD students and junior faculty are encouraged to submit a paper, as the idea is to help them with their research by providing the opportunity to get comments
and guidance from senior researchers.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium; "><br>

effort of an individual researcher or done in collaboration with a research team. The idea is to bring together contributions related to service modularity research on a wide range of areas, from new ideas to more developed research.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium; "><br>
