Knowledge Services : A New Research Field between KM and SSME

In this article the authors give a suggestion to develop a possible new research field called “knowledge services”, which is regarded on one hand as an evolution of the field of knowledge management, and on the other hand as a key branch of the emerging discipline of service science, management and engineering (SSME). Consequently some key research issues of this new research field are briefly discussed.The original publication is available at JAIST Press http://www.jaist.ac.jp/library/jaist-press/index.htmlProceedings of KSS'2007 : The Eighth International Symposium on Knowledge and Systems Sciences : November 5-7, 2007, [Ishikawa High-Tech Conference Center, Nomi, Ishikawa, JAPAN]Organized by: Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technolog
