> More about this book:
>
> Many government and business organizations are nowadays developing their
> Internet based electronic service (e-service) with various intelligent
> functions. This form of e-service is called e-service intelligence.'
> E-service intelligence integrates intelligent technologies and
> methodologies into e-service systems for realizing intelligent
> presentation of web content, intelligent online services, personalized
> support, and direct customer participation in organizational
> decision-making processes. These intelligent technologies include
> optimization, soft computing, intelligent systems, intelligent
> languages, and data mining etc. E-service intelligence has been
> identified as a new direction and next stage of e-service for the many
> years to come. E-service offers great opportunities and challenges for
> many areas of services, such as government, education, tourism,
> commerce, marketing, finance and logistics. It thus involves various
> online service providers, delivery systems and applications including
> e-government, e-learning, e-shopping, e-marketing, e-banking, and
> e-logistics. Intelligent e-service will provide with much higher quality
> information, personalized recommendation, decision support, direct user
> participation in organizational planning, knowledge discovery, and more
> integrated seamless link services. It will have e-service evolved into
> knowledge management and become adaptive, personalized, proactive and
> accessible from a broader variety of devices. We have begun to see some
> successful developments recently in building intelligent e-service
> systems, such as recommender systems and fuzzy matching based e-market
> systems. Therefore, it is instructive and vital to gather current trends
> and provide a high quality forum for the theoretical research results of
> e-service intelligence and practical development of intelligent
> e-service applications for various government and business organizations.
> This edited book aims at offering a thorough introduction and systematic
> overview of the new field e-service intelligence. It will cover the
> state-of-the-art of the research and development in various aspects
> including both theorems and applications of e-service intelligence.
> Moreover, it will demonstrate how adaptations of existing intelligent
> technologies benefit from the development of e-service applications. It
> will further promote new e-service intelligence related methodologies,
> systems, technologies and applications through collaborations with
> research groups and researchers throughout the world. The following
> criteria will be used in screening the chapters:
> " Quality and originality in theory, methodology and technology
> " Application oriented chapter exhibiting originality with e-service
> intelligence theory, methodology and technology involved
> " Relevance to e-service intelligent technology and systems.
>
> Submission Procedure
> " Authors are invited to submit a short chapter proposal by July 1,
> 2005. The chapter proposal should clearly include a tentative title, the
> mission and the contents of the proposed chapter, and the contact
> person's details (a 150-word short CV and corresponding information).
> " Authors of the chapter proposals will be notified by August 1, 2005
> about their status of the proposals.
> " Full chapters are expected by November 1, 2005. All submitted chapters
> will be reviewed on a blind review basis and the review reports will be
> sent to the authors by January 15, 2006.
> " The final revised chapters are expected by March 1, 2006.
> " The book is scheduled to be published by Springer in 2006.
>
> All inquiries and submissions (MS-Word or PDF format) should be
> electronically addressed to Prof Lu at jielu@it.uts.edu.au
