<h1><span style="background:white"><font size="1">Theme</font></span></h1>
<p class="BodayText"><font size="1">Web services are playing a pivotal role both in business,
service computing and social networking services, and cloud computing. This is
also the case in the traditional FREG (foods, resources, energy and goods)
services, because almost all traditional services are replaced fully or
partially by web services. Demand-driven web services (DDWS) as a tri-paradigm,
a computing paradigm, a service paradigm, and a management paradigm, is
becoming important for web services, service computing, cloud computing, and
social networking computing. However, many fundamental issues in developing
DDWS remain open. For example, what is the demand theory of web services? What
is a demand-driven architecture of web services? How should real world demands
be classified? How should web services be classified? How can an ontology of
web services be developed? This book will address these issues by exploring the
cutting-edge theory, technologies, and methodologies of demand driven web
services based on the novel classification of demands and web services
emphasizing cloud services, mobile services, social networking services and
e-business services from a perspective of computing, service and management.
This book also provides applications of the proposed theory, technologies and
methodologies to successful demand-driven web services in the real world. The
proposed approaches will facilitate research and development of web services,
e-business, service computing, mobile computing, cloud computing, and social
computing.</font></p>
<h1><font size="1">Aims and Scope</font></h1>
<p class="BodayText"><font size="1">This book aims at a broad audience of researchers and
practitioners, and provides the reader with an updated understanding of
demand-driven web services, cloud services, mobile services, and social
networking services by attracting high quality manuscripts from academic
researchers, policy makers and practitioners in this area. Papers of all
theoretical and technological approaches and applications are welcome.</font></p>
<p class="BodayText"><font size="1">Submissions that cross multiple disciplines such as service,
business, management, industry, information systems, and intelligent systems to
develop theory and provide technologies and applications that could move theory
and practice forward in demand-driven web services, cloud services, mobile
services, e-business services, and social networking services are especially
encouraged.</font></p>
