Abstract

IBM has been strongly promoting the Service Science, Management & Engineering (SSME) vision, and encouraging the academic community to incorporate SSME content into its existing and new programs. But what will the existing Computer Science, Information Technology and Information Systems departments really do with respect to SSME? This panel brings together leaders from CS, IT, and IS departments from universities in Asia in order to honestly and frankly address the following issues: 1) What is the difference between what your department and university already do, and the SSME vision? 2) Should you make changes in your department's ongoing research and education initiatives in response to the SSME vision? Explain your views in support of or against such initiatives. 3) What aspects of your department's research or educational initiatives will change over the next 12 to 24 months in response to the SSME vision? This panel will help us understand if CS, IT and IS academic groups in Asia will respond to the SSME vision and challenge through a "business as usual" approach, or through more fundamental changes.
