The Services SIG (SERVSIG) serves American Marketing Association academics who are interested in services research. SERVSIG was founded by Ray Fisk in 1993. Since that time, SERVSIG has sponsored numerous panels and sessions at AMA Educators’ Conferences. It hosts its own international conference, too. Also, SERVSIG hosts an annual SERVSIG Doctoral Consortium atthe AMA Frontiers in Services Conferences. The mission of SERVSIG is to be the best full-service system for keeping in touch with the people, events, and knowledge of services marketing and management. SERVSIG adopted three goals: Open, Flexible, and Fun. First, we strive to be open to new people, new ideas, global contributions, interdisciplinary contributions, practitioner contributions, and to new ways of doing things. Second, we strive for the maximum of organizational flexibility (and a minimum of red tape). Third, we strive to be a fun organization by being both lighthearted and intellectually nourishing.

The itSMF® is the only truly independent and internationally-recognized forum for IT Service Management professionals worldwide. As businesses depend more and more on technology to promote and deliver their products to market, so the benefits of adopting “best practice” IT Service Management and of becoming part of the IT Service Management Forum become more apparent.

Service oriented computing (SoC) is an emerging cross-disciplinary paradigm for distributed computing that is changing the way software applications are designed, architected, delivered and consumed. Services are autonomous, platform-independent computational elements that can be described, published, discovered, orchestrated and programmed using standard protocols to build networks of collaborating applications distributed within and across organizational boundaries. Web Services are the current (but not only) most promising technology based on the idea of service oriented computing. Web services provide the basis for the development and execution of business processes that are distributed over the network and available via standard interfaces and protocols.

Services Computing has become a cross-discipline that covers the science and technology of bridging the gap between Business Services and IT Services. The underneath breaking technology suite includes Web services and service-oriented architecture (SOA), cloud computing, business consulting methodology and utilities, business process modeling, transformation and integration. This scope of Services Computing covers the whole lifecycle of services innovation research that includes business componentization, services modeling, services creation, services realization, services annotation, services deployment, services discovery, services composition, services delivery, service-to-service collaboration, services monitoring, services optimization, as well as services management. The goal of Services Computing is to enable IT services and computing technology to perform business services more efficiently and effectively.

The International Society for the Systems Sciences (ISSS) is among the first and oldest organizations devoted to interdisciplinary inquiry into the nature of complex systems, and remains perhaps the most broadly inclusive. The Society was initially conceived in 1954 at the Stanford Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences by Ludwig von Bertalanffy, Kenneth Boulding, Ralph Gerard, and Anatol Rapoport. In collaboration with James Grier Miller, it was formally established as an affiliate of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1956. Originally founded as the Society for General Systems Research, the society adopted its current name in 1988 to reflect its broadening scope.

The International Society of Service Innovation Professionals (ISSIP.org) is a democratically-run non-profit organization. Individual and institutional members work together to expand career options for service innovators while impacting business and society through new and improved service innovations. Within the last decade service innovation has become a focus of businesses and nations seeking ways to improve productivity, quality, compliance, sustainability, and other KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) of value co-creation between customers, providers, and other stakeholders. As a result, many existing professionals associations have added service science-related special interest groups or conference focus areas (e.g., AMA, INFORMS, AIS, ACM, IEEE, IIE, INCOSE, AHFE, etc.). ISSIP exists to connect these diverse professional associations and support their conferences and publications, linking members from academia, industry, government, and the social sector.

Please add others IIE, INCOSE, etc. and their complex service systems and service science related associations, SIGs, etc.
