Technical Architecture of Enabling Body of Knowledge System for Effective Learning and Information Dissemination

Motivating Case And Challenges

Modern services industry poses a significant IT challenge as how to achieve higher reusability, scalability, interoperability, and cost efficiency. To address this issue, services computing has recently evolved as the foundational discipline to study how to leverage IT and computing technology to help people perform business services more efficiently and effectively (Zhang, Zhang et al. 2007). This is the reason why in the recent decade, services computing has gained significant momentum from both industry and academia. However, applying services computing technology to modernize the traditional services industry is now facing significant challenges. One major issue is the lack of skilled practitioners to meet the increasing and urgent demands from the market.
