Kybernetes special issue on “Risks in service”
Guest editor: Desheng Dash Wu
Kybernetes is concerned with the interdisciplinary study of cybernetics and systems in the widest sense. One of the advanced application areas is service system. Kybernetes will publish a special issue dedicated to the theme of “Risks in service”. Kybernetes will publish a special issue dedicated to the theme of “Risks in service” in 2010.
During the last decade, service science and service engineering have emerged as a new area attracting lots of attentions. In the current uncertain world, risk management has become more and more important. New risks in many practical service industry problems require new computational methods and tools.
This special issue of Kybernetes on the theme of “Risks in service” is intended to present recent advances in developing various computing tools and their applications to service industry. We aim to publish advances made in computational algorithms and element methodology and to encourage innovation, particularly directed at engineering applications. Authors are encouraged to submit both theoretical and applied articles addressing the theme of this special issue.
