BOOK’S RATIONALE:

A service economy has been recognized as the dominant paradigm in present
times (Chesbrough and Spohrer 2006). Such a service-oriented worldview
demands new engineering and management scientific (both fundamental and
applied) knowledge to cope with the planning, design, building, operation
and evaluation (including the disposal of non adequate) IT-based service
systems (IfM and IBM 2008). Furthermore, several ITSM process models
and standards are available (ITIL v2, ITIL v3, ISO/IEC 20000, CMMI-SVC,
ITUP, MOF 4.0, and CobIT 5.0). Such challenges emerge from the paradigm
shift from a product-based manufacturing economy to this new
service-oriented one (Dermikan et al. 2011). In turn, Intelligent
Decision-Making Support Systems (i-DMSS/DSS) are specialized IT-based
systems that support some or several phases of the individual, team,
organizational or inter-organizational decision making process by
deploying some or several intelligent mechanisms (Forgionne et al. 2002;
Phillips-Wren et al. 2009). In particular, Artificial Intelligence (AI)
has been recognized as a significant enhancement tool for DMSS (Goul et
al. 1992; Eom, 1998) since several decades. However, the utilization of
i-DMSS/DSS for engineering and management of IT-based service systems is
still scarce. We believe that fostering its research and utilization is
relevant and needed for advancing the progress of IT-service systems.
Consequently, in this book will pursue to following academic aims: (i)
generate a compendium of quality theoretical and applied contributions in
Intelligent Decision-Making Support Systems (i-DMSS) for engineering and
management IT-based service systems (ITSS); (ii)  diffuse scarce knowledge
about foundations, architectures and effective and efficient methods and
strategies for successfully planning, designing, building, operating, and
evaluating i-DMSS for ITSS, and (iii) create an awareness of, and a bridge
between ITSS and i-DMSS academicians and practitioners in the current
complex and dynamic engineering and management ITSS organizational (Mora
et al. 2011).

Excellence in service doesn’t come easy and its importance continues to rise in an ever more competitive environment as seen in Aberdeen’s recent State of Service research where nearly 80% of respondents had a service leader in place with P&L responsibility for service (as compared to only 61% at the end of 2010). As service organizations look to extend and enhance service excellence, half of all Best-in-Class organizations (50%) have prioritized field service as an area for technology investment to improve customer service, drive revenues and cut costs. Join Aberdeen and SAP for this informative webinar to learn:
