> *Abstract*:
>
> Services sciences, Management and Engineering (SSME) hopes to bring
> together ongoing work in computer science, operations research,
> industrial engineering, business strategy, management sciences, social
> and cognitive sciences, and legal sciences to develop the skills
> required in a services-led economy.
>
> Services are the application of knowledge and skills for the
> co-production of value for the service recipient. As such, a fundamental
> aspect of service engagement is the representation of the knowledge that
> the parties involved in the service process use to communicate and
> collaborate. Ontology development is one approach to knowledge
> codification that allows it to be human and machine processable and
> therefore help and facilitate the service enactment.
>
> Paths to service innovations, especially for services deployed over the
> Web (i.e., Web services and software as a service) will increasingly
> require better knowledge representation techniques. For instance, to
> automatically (or semi-automatically) discover, engage, and enact Web
> services solutions on the intranet as well as the internet as a whole.
>
> SSME’s primary objective is to discover means for all types of service
> innovation; therefore, placing ontology and other knowledge
> representation techniques at the center stage of the SSME agenda.

>
> *Jim Spohrer* is the Director of Services Research at IBM's Almaden
> Research Center in San Jose, CA, focused on innovations for IBM Global
> Services (IGS), a people-intensive, information-intensive business of
> over 170,000 professionals worldwide that accounts for half of IBM's
> yearly revenues. Human sciences, On-Demand Innovation Services (ODIS),
> deep industry knowledge of future trends, and operations technology are
> areas of active exploration.

> Scientist, and Technologist) and program manager of learning technology
> projects in Apple's Advanced Technology Group (ATG). He lead the effort

> Rome, Italy where he was a visiting scholar at the University of Rome La
> Sapienza, and lecturer at major universities across Europe. Jim has
> published broadly in the areas of speech recognition, empirical studies
> of programmers, artificial intelligence, authoring tools, online
> learning communities, open source software, intelligent tutoring systems
> and student modeling, new paradigms in using computers, implications of
> rapid technical change, as well as the coevolution of social, business,
> and technical systems. Jim has also helped to establish two education
> research non-profit web sites: The Educational Object Economy and
> WorldBoard: Associating Information with Places. Jim is a frequent
> advisor to the National Science Foundation, U.S. Department of
> Education, and other groups http://www.merlot.org &
