A few things that you should know! We are currently working on Service Science. An interresting area with a lot to be done. Maybe someday the Internet of Services will "fly". Until them, you will have to use the Yellow Pages :) If you are interrested in BPM, meet some of the people behind Business Process world (Here). If you can, you should visit the beautiful island of Madeira (63 reasons to visit Madeira).

A few "old" papers which were interesting in their time.
