Workshop; Symposium on Technology Management in the Service Sector, August 4, 2007, Portland Oregon

这个为期一天的研讨会的主要目标是确定技术管理的研究议程，作为服务科学管理和工程的贡献者。它将于2007年8月5日星期日举行，紧接着PICMET'07（波特兰国际工程和技术管理会议）会议的技术方案。PICMET最近在土耳其伊斯坦布尔举行了一次会议，刚刚结束了它的第15个年头。预计将提交约500篇论文，其中约300篇将在PICMET'07上发表。这些论文将经过双盲评审，全球约有110名评审员。被接受的论文被收录在PICMET会议记录中。预计来自40多个国家的约700名与会者将出席PICMET '07会议。通常，70%的PICMET参与者是研究人员，20%是行业高管，10%是政府官员。我们的目标是邀请8-10名该领域的主要领导人在上午提出他们的想法，并在下午主持讨论。将有开放的参与，和PICMET与会者将给予折扣，他们在研讨会的参与。讨论的重点将是确定服务部门技术管理的关键研究需求。结果将在会议结束时提交给所有PICMET'07与会者，并将作为报告提交给NSF。

The main objective of this one-day symposium is to define the research agenda in Management of Technology as a contributor to Service Science Management and Engineering. It will be held on Sunday, August 5, 2007, immediately preceding the technical program of PICMET'07 (Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology) Conference. PICMET just completed its 15th year with a recent conference in Istanbul, Turkey. It is expected that around five hundred papers will be submitted and about three hundred of them will be accepted for presentation at PICMET'07. The papers are subjected to a double-blind review process with about one hundred ten referees around the world. The accepted papers are included in the PICMET Proceedings. Approximately seven hundred attendees from more than forty countries are expected to attend the PICMET '07 conference. Typically, 70% of PICMET participants are researchers, 20% are industry executives and 10% are government officials. We are targeting to invite 8-10 key leaders in the field to present their ideas in the morning and to lead the discussions in the afternoon. There will be open participation, and PICMET attendees will be given a discount for their participation in the Symposium. The discussions will be focused on identifying the critical research needs in Technology Management in the Service Sector. The results will be presented to the entire PICMET'07 participants toward the end of the conference, and will be published as a report to be submitted to NSF.
