The service-centric approach as a strategy for IT enterprises is an emerging area in the industrial and academic world. Software vendors such as HP [1] claim that “Service-centric IT represents a state of maturity for the IT function, enabling it to operate as a service-focused entity that is deliberately structured, organized and calibrated to power directly the corporation’s strategic growth and profitability objectives”.
Additionally, Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) [2] has been advocating a more service-centric model for asset optimisation and planning for nearly a decade. We have also recently been seeing the dramatic development of service-centric computing and related technologies such as Web services, service-oriented architectures and business process automation [3].
Service-centric systems are now becoming the means to integrate highly heterogeneous elements in terms of services managed by different providers which run on heterogonous operating systems and are developed using various programming languages [4]. Based on the emergence of service-centric research, we now invite researchers and industry contributors to submit their research papers on service-centric business and technology.
