Miniconference on Service Science
Sponsored by
IBM and Bentley College
Service management, as a distinct field of study and practice, is currently undergoing a renaissance. The New York Times highlighted this in an article published on April 18, 2006 titled “Academia Dissects the Service Sector, but Is It a Science?” To address that specific question, the Decision Sciences Institute (DSI) is pleased to announce its first miniconference which will focus specifically on the emerging academic discipline labeled “Service Science.” This miniconference, which is sponsored by IBM and Bentley College, is open to all who are interested in advancing understanding and theory in Service Science. It will be held on May 24-26, 2007 at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA. It will begin Thursday evening, May 24 with an opening reception, and is expected to end early Saturday afternoon, May 26.
The submission deadline for refereed research papers is February 15, 2007. The submission deadline for non-refereed research abstracts and proposals is March 15, 2007.
