Frontiers scope of service science 2011072 v1ISSIP
The document proposes a framework for visualizing the scope of service science. It discusses service systems through the lens of three foundational premises: 1) Service systems dynamically configure resources to provide value, 2) Service systems calculate value from multiple stakeholder perspectives, and 3) Service systems reconfigure access to resources through value propositions that change over time. The framework is used to analyze interactions between service system entities and outcomes in various domains like transportation, healthcare, education, and more.

The European Commission entered a voluntary agreement with automakers to reduce CO2 emissions from new passenger vehicles. The key points of the agreement are:
1) It sets a fleet-wide target of 140g of CO2/km by 2008 which would achieve over 41 mpg.
2) Automakers must introduce some models emitting under 120g/km of CO2 by 2000 and aim to reduce the fleet average to 120g/km by 2012.
3) The individual automakers have not set their own targets but will work collectively to meet the overall fleet goals.
