Please submit your abstract and paper through the Online Conference System (OCS) powered by Springer:

Submissions of Research papers and Works-in-progress papers

ICServ2014 calls for following paper types:

•Full papers, which are presenting interesting recent results or novel ideas on service researches.
•Short papers (Works-in-progress papers), which are presenting interesting and exciting recent results or on-going research including case studies, or novel ideas on businesses.
•Posters, which are focusing on discussion with attendees.

All authors must submit the abstract (100-300 words) of their paper by March 15. Then all authors must submit full and short papers by April 30 using each template.

We encourage practitioners and researchers to submit Works-in-Progress as it provides a unique opportunity for sharing valuable ideas, eliciting useful feedback on early-stage work, and fostering discussions and collaborations among colleagues. All of accepted submissions will be presented as a regular paper presentation, workshops, or posters at the conference.
