IBM announced today that it is making
available to universities through the IBM Academic Initiative program a new
academic curriculum designed to develop the skills required in the world's
increasingly services-based economies. "IBM's initiative provides a crucial impetus for a
more systematic approach to research and teaching in services, which will
play a vital role in getting universities to overcome their academic
disciplinary boundaries that were created in a bygone era. This sector will require a thorough
understanding of how to create and deliver reusable assets so that services
engagements can be more easily replicated and more effectively delivered. Among the universities leading the way are the University of
California at Berkeley, Stanford University, Northwestern University,
Arizona State University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology , Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute, and Georgia Institute of Technology. For more information on the IBM Academic Initiative, visit

"The ability to discover semantic meaning at the record level in
semi-structured data is a critical enabler for connecting business systems
within and between enterprises," said Green.

The new course, called Services Sciences, Management and Engineering
(SSME), has been created through close collaboration among IBM,
universities, industry partners and government agencies. Particular
opportunities exist in the IT and business consulting space, where
companies are seizing new business opportunities by building more efficient
IT systems, streamlining their business processes and embracing the
Internet.S.
"There is a tendency to think of 'data semantics' as an academic topic,"
continued Green, "but we have now reached the point that we are using these
core capabilities to solve very significant business problems for some very
large companies -- problems that up until now had no practical solution.com

Through case
studies of real businesses and scientific programs, particularly in
information technology and business services, this course will focus on the
issues involved in aligning people and technology effectively to generate
value for both services providers and services clients. However, there is a shortage of individuals with comprehensive
knowledge of business, people and information technology -- the combination
most needed to provide effective services -- and there are few focused
efforts aimed at preparing people for this new environment or even
understanding it.com
