The challenge of delivering services that are reliable, secure, and trustworthy in a timely and cost effective manner is a key to global competitiveness. To meet this challenge, Ser vice Science, Management, and Engineering (SSME) needs rigorous, mathematically-based underpinnings in support of conceptual and computational tools for modeling services in a composable fashion. Such tools should lead to rapid and accurate design, verification, validation, and deployment. As services, by their very nature, cross boundaries between a wide range of organizations and individuals, this develop ment must involve principles, methods, and tools from engi neering, information studies, management, law, etc.
