ABSTRACT:
The expansion of service and cloud computing promises to facilitate the expansion of service ecosystems,
wherein multiple services coexist, cooperate, and compete with each other. Of particular interest are business services,
realized through a combination of technical services and human services. The business services represent independent
parties; thus, the ervice ecosystems raise the challenges of how independent parties may collaborate and form organizations,
how cross-organizational collaborations may be realized via high-level protocols, how parties may intelligently select one
another, how ad hoc processes may be realized and adapted, how humans may both exploit and help realize such processes.
Service ecosystems potentially involve challenges of trust, economics, normative systems, and social and emotional
relationships. This panel will involve a free-ranging discussion on a variety of topics pertaining to service ecosystems,
including theory and practice.
