    We would like to invite you to submit a paper and/or to encourage colleagues at your institute to submit a contribution.

    Scope

    The Karlsruhe Service Summit Research Workshop is hosted by KSRI (Karlsruhe Service Research Institute) to provide a service innovation hub for researchers and practitioners in the fields of business engineering, economics, computer science, information systems, operations research, logistics and social sciences. The objective of the second KSS Research Workshop is to foster academic and interdisciplinary discourse and networking amongst different generations of researchers from the field of service science. In order to achieve this objective, stimulation of academic scholarship, discussions of ideas as well as dialogue among students and researchers from different countries, disciplines and seniority is intended. The workshop commences on the first day with a focus on tutorial sessions while the second day will focus on the workshop presentations.

    Paper Submission

    We invite submissions of theoretical and/or empirical research dealing with one or several of the subsequent four workshop’s pillars. Of particular interest are submissions related to the significant topics energy, mobility, health care, participation, social collaboration, crowdfunding, and smart services used in an increasingly digitized world. We especially encourage submissions with an integrative perspective. All submitted short papers (up to 6 pages in the template provided online) will be blind peer reviewed by at least two members of the program committee. The selected submissions will be published in post workshop proceedings of the KSS 2016. Please submit via easyChair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kss2016
