ABSTRACT
When we look at the living creatures in the world, most of them have the communication methods in order
to recognize within same species each other for protection, getting food, being multiplied, or seeing the
world, et cetera. And they mostly use the five senses as the basic mechanisms for the communication
among them in a quite natural way with a seamless manner without any difficult manipulation. These
five senses in those behaviour look like being swirled around their bodies.
Today, we have “an external communication method among us beyond the five senses” by using
Information Technologies (IT); TV, telephone, cellular phone, laptop computer, the Internetworking,
software (SaaS, VPN, SAP, SOA, Cloud, etc.), etc. But they are costly and need cutting edged high skills
and technologies for the usages. And what is more, they are not yet intellectually and technologically
matured for the usages compared with the five senses.
Under these circumstances, if we have a system “swirled” around us (Burgess 2008) like the five senses
in a relation to networking for communications with other entities (a system, a facility, knowledge, data,
etc.) which will be neither necessary to be conscious about the related facilities nor the high level of
the technological manipulations, this environment will give us convenient services and also will give us
important knowledge of extended entities in many aspects.
So in this chapter, the main theme is to discuss and to introduce “The Principle for Engineering Based
Service System by Swirl Computing” in Service Science.
