Call For Papers
Service orientation has become a prevalent paradigm for engineering and managing new forms of smart, highly integrative, usage-based business ecosystems. Its significance is being increasingly recognized by research communities that study new approaches for establishing smart service offerings in different domains. Logistics is a service domain that has a particularly high potential of benefiting from service orientation and service-based systems. The objective of logistics is to service individual firms, supply chains and entire industries with flexible means for realizing flows of goods from the point of origin to the point of destination. Logistics relies essentially on the ability to: (1) share resources of different organizations, (2) provide complex services based on configurations of elementary services, (3) coordinate service delivery across organizations, and (4) maintain an agreed quality of service. These requirements match closely to the key characteristics of service-based systems. While recent advances in the engineering and management of such systems have been made, still many questions regarding the design of the models and methods to be used as well as their efficacy and usefulness remain to be answered.
