[forwarded] CFP: CSSE Special Issue on Flexible Workflow Technology Driving the Networked Economy
by Gustaf Neumann 15 Feb '00

15 Feb '00

Forwarded message from [vanderal(a)cs.colorado.edu (vanderal(a)cs.colorado.edu)] sent originally on Mon, 14 Feb 2000 11:01:45 -0700: : International Journal of Computer Systems Science & Engineering : : Call for Papers : : Special Issue on Flexible Workflow Technology : Driving the Networked Economy : : Guest editors : : Wil van der Aalst : Department of Mathematics and Computing Science, Eindhoven University of : Technology, P.O. Box 513, NL-5600 MB, Eindhoven, The Netherlands. : wsinwa(a)win.tue.nl : : Stefan Jablonski : Department of Computer Science VI, Friedrich-Alexander Universitat : Erlangen-Nurnberg, Martenstra?e 3, D-91058 Erlangen, Germany. : jablonski(a)informatik.uni-erlangen.de : : Scope : : The new millennium is characterized by speed and distribution in every : aspect of most business and organization undertaking. Organizations are : challenged to bring ideas and concepts to products and services in an : ever-increasing pace. Companies distributed by space, time, and : capabilities come together to deliver products and solutions for which : there is any need in the global marketplace. The trends for virtual : corporations and e-commerce, and increasing global networking of economies : are real and will accelerate. Enterprise information systems using : workflow technology will play an increasingly critical role in providing a : competitive edge to organizations in the networked economy. The : interorganizational nature of workflow processes in the DNE (Dynamic : Networked Economy) poses all kinds of interesting issues, e.g., How to : agree on a common business process without considering local : particularities? The coordination between processes in different : organizations is fundamentally different from the situation where the whole : process and all of the participating resources are contained within one : organization. Another critical challenge for workflow technology in the DNE : is the ability to respond effectively to changes. Changes may range from : ad-hoc modifications of the process for a single customer to a complete : restructuring for the workflow process to improve efficiency. Today's : WFM/ERP systems are ill-suited to deal with change; they typically support : a more or less idealized version of the preferred process and the real : run-time process is often much more variable than the process specified at : design-time. The only way to handle changes is to go behind the system's : back. If users are forced to bypass the workflow management system quite : frequently, the system is more a liability than an asset. The biggest : challenge we are facing is to develop concepts, techniques, and tools to : support adaptability. Adaptability has become one of the major research : topics in the area of workflow management and is characterized by notorious : problems such as the 'dynamic change bug' (How to migrate workflow : instances from the old to the new process if the degree of parallelism is : reduced?). : : This special issue of the International Journal of Computer Systems Science : & Engineering seeks to shed light on the state-of-the-art and the future of : workflow technology in the dynamic networked economy. : : Topics of interest include: : Interorganizational workflows : Adaptive/ad-hoc workflows : Dynamic schema evolution and workflow migration : Workflow distribution and interoperability : Object-oriented concepts (e.g., inheritance) to support workflow : flexibility and distribution : Process mining and AI-based techniques : Extensions of workflow modeling techniques (Petri nets, state-charts, : speech acts, etc.) : Merging of groupware and workflow into workware : Case studies and prototypes : : See http://wwwis.win.tue.nl/~wsinwa/csse_special_issue.html for more : information. : Important dates : Paper Submission Deadline: March 1, 2000 : Feedback to Authors: May 1, 2000 : Final Manuscripts to Publisher: July 1, 2000 : Publication of Special Issue: September 2000 : : Authors should carefully read the submission guidelines of the : International Journal of Computer Systems Science & Engineering : http://www.dircon.co.uk/crl/CSSE.htm. Papers must be in a standard : non-proprietary format such as HTML, PostScript, or PDF. Authors should : send an email to Wil van der Aalst (wsinwa(a)win.tue.nl) with a URL pointing : to the paper submission.

They : need to remain competitive by developing products and processes which are : specific to individual requirements, completely packaged and manufactured : globally to make best use of scarce global resources. Networks of enterprises : are formed to operate across time and space with world-wide distributed : functions of manufacturing, sales, customer support, engineering, quality : assurance, project management, supply and process chain management, operations : control and so on. Research and technology development is addressing : architectures, methodologies, models, tools and services enabling the symbiosis : of information and communication infrastructure and the business functions for : intra- and inter-enterprise planning, operation and management. Throughout an : integrated life cycle of products and enterprises there is the requirement to : transform information sourced from globally distributed offices and partners, : into knowledge, useful for decision and action. : : CONFERENCE THEMES : Building on the success of the first three DIISM conferences (Tokyo, 1993, : Eindhoven, 1996, Fort Worth, 1998), this conference will further elaborate on : the: : · Establishment and management of the dynamics of inter and : intra-enterprises for the support of global manufacturing and engineering; : · Simultaneous development and deployment of information management in : multi-cultural systems, assuring universal applicability of the proposed : architecture and solutions for globally operating manufacturing companies; : · Modeling and co-ordination of information system requirements and : development of solutions for virtual enterprises; : · Enterprise integration architectures, methodologies and information : infrastructure support for reconfigurable enterprises; : · Information infrastructure and intelligent manufacturing systems: how : information - in globally distributed enterprise networks - is transformed into : knowledge for decision and action by machine and skillful people; : · Design and configuration of models for extended enterprises and product : life cycles, and incorporating global inter-enterprise manufacturing : requirements; : · Definition of intra- and inter- enterprises information infrastructure : services. : : The conference program will leave much room for discussion and exchange of : views. The conference is also a meeting place for new initiatives for : collaborative work between research and practice. : : CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES : The objective of the conference is to extend the understanding and agreement : about design methods, modeling languages, reference frameworks, services and : architectures for information infrastructure systems for global manufacturing. : Some specific goals are: : · to exchange views and developments in the area of global manufacturing : with functions crossing company boundaries : · to compare and evaluate enterprise integration architectures, modeling : methods and languages that support better understanding of the information : infrastructure requirements for global manufacturing : · to expand enterprise and product models such that these can be applied : to modeling extended enterprises, enterprise networks and product life cycles : · to compare and evaluate documented cases in model design, system : modeling, architecture and information infrastructure development : · to summarize experiences from case studies and derive a strategy for : developing global infrastructure service designs or implementations : · to identify targets and requirements for multi-location manufacturing, : supply and process chain management, distributed engineering and business : functions in a global marketing scenario : : TOPICS INCLUDED : Contributions are invited, but not limited to, concepts, theory and : applications in the area of: : · Enterprise Architectures : · Supply and process chain management : · Modeling for inter-enterprises : · Information interoperability across policy frameworks : · Frameworks for extended-enterprise process models : · Product life cycle models : · Virtual enterprises : · Virtual manufacturing : · Generic product and process models and configuration techniques : · Comparison of frameworks and environments for product and process : modeling : · Harmonization of international standards : · Multi-agent model execution services : · Generic information infrastructures, services and interfaces for : interflow systems : · Formal ontologies, information sharing and industrial semiosis : · Application of web technologies : · Business-to-business E-commerce infrastructure : · Partner Interface Process models : · Remote customer support and system maintenance : · Concurrent Engineering : : For further information on the conference please contact: : CSIRO Manufacturing Science and Technology : Corner of Albert and Raglan Streets, : Preston, VIC 3072, Australia : Phone: (+61-3) 9662-7716 (Mention DIISM2000) : Fax: (+61-3) 9662-7851 : E-mail: DIISM2000(a)msa.cmst.csiro.au : WWW: http://www.msa.cmst.csiro.au/DIISM2000 : : INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE : J.

ODC : includes on-line newspapers, magazines, music, education, searchable : databases, consulting, and eventually expertise and ideas. This paper : describes market structures and pricing strategies for ODC. So far : businesses have been restricted to versioning and group pricing, when : differentiating their offerings. New information technologies enable : businesses to charge personalized prices on the Internet. A crucial : precondition for this is detailed knowledge about a customer's preferences. : We describe the latest trends in electronic catalog technology and new : ways how on-line merchants can learn about their customers on the Internet. : : Digital News: Content, Delivery, and Value Propositions for an Intangible : Product : JONATHAN W. PALMER, University of Maryland, USA : LARS BO ERIKSEN, University of Aalborg, Netherlands : : This paper examines the news products (newspapers, news magazines, and : broadcast news) on the Internet. Analysis of 50 Web sites reveals digital : news product content, delivery mechanisms, and revenue generation. Content : reflects the producer's original medium (e.g. print version or broadcast) : although often augmented with a greater number of articles or additional : media. Delivery is immediate and many digital news products are : customizing content and delivery through search and retrieval mechanisms. : Revenue is generated through traditional retail and classified : advertisements, as well as through market intermediation. Few digital news : products utilize a subscription-based fee, and are instead generating : income through their archives. The paper suggests a new business model for : digital news products that includes content-based revenue generation : through personalization, archiving and versioning, cost savings through low : cost reproduction and pay per use revenue approaches and three approaches : to advertising, including retail, classified, and more highly targeted : market intermediation. : : Commercialization of Electronic Information : JEAN-HENRY MORIN, University of Geneva, Switzerland : DIMITRI KONSTANTAS, University of Geneva, Switzerland : : Information dissemination is slowly moving from printed media to electronic : media. However this step cannot be completed if the electronic : commercialization of information does not provide the same guarantees : against copyright infringement as with the printed media. In this paper we : present the major requirement for the commercialization of electronic : information and describe Hep, an agent-based framework we developed for the : commercialization of arbitrary electronic documents over open networks. : The Hep electronic document commercialization model follows the secure : content encapsulation model and regards documents as programs (agents) that : need to be executed in order to reveal their contents. This way the : document provider can include arbitrary checks and controls against : possible copyright infringement attempts. : : Signalling Intentions and Obliging Behavior Online: An Application of : Semiotic and Legal Modeling in E-Commerce : JAMES BACKHOUSE, London School of Economics, UK : EDWARD CHENG, Harvard Law School, USA : : Electronic commerce has the potential to deliver goods and services to : customers more quickly, cheaply, and conveniently than ever before. But : before performance the obligations have to be created. This paper explores : the semiotic and legal aspects of online contracts. It reviews speech act : theory from philosophers such as Austin and Searle to explain how words and : actions can create legal obligations. It then examines English contract : law and its requirements to find an abstract basis upon which contract : creation can be modeled. Using semiotics and law, the paper thereafter : creates a model of the contract creation process and applies it to : electronic commerce in intangible goods. Since electronic commerce is so : pervasive and extends beyond any particular jurisdiction, the need is : destined to increase the high-level abstraction and for a model of : comparison and cross reference. : : INDUSTRY AND PRACTICE ABSTRACT : : Zero Entry Barriers in Computationally Complex World: Transaction Streams : and the Complexity of the Digital Trade of Intangible Goods : BRIAN SUBIRANA, IESE International Graduate School of Management, Spain : : In this paper we analyze how transactions related to the digital trade of : intangible goods and services is being performed on the Internet. The : adoption of electronic markets in an industry has a desintermediation : potential because it can create a direct link between the producer and the : consumer (without the need for intermediation role of distributors). : Electronic markets lower the search cost allowing customers to choose among : more providers (which ultimately reduces both the costs for the customer : and the profits for the producer). In this paper we content that : electronic markets on the Internet have the opposite effect, resulting in : the increase of intermediators. We introduce transaction streams which : model how transactions related to the digital trade of intangible goods are : being conducted. Transaction streams help explain the types of new : intermediators that are appearing on the Internet and why entry barriers : are close to zero. We also prove that in transaction stream-based : electronic markets, searching for the best price of intangible goods is : NP-complete. : : Book Review : : Review by JONATHAN D. WAREHAM : Georgia State University, USA : : Information Rules: A Strategic Guide to the Network Economy, : by Carl Shapiro and Hal R. Varian. : Cambridge: Harvard Business School Press, 1998, : 352 pages, ISBN: 0-7895-0654-8. $32.50 : : There is no shortage of popular rhetoric extolling the new rules, : paradigms, revolutions and meta- revolutions of the Network Economy. In : this grand arena of cyber-hype, Shapiro and Varian's Information Rules: A : Strategic Guide to the Network Economy may be the most sober and : substantial contribution to date. The book is constructed around three : main principles that highlight the divergent properties of tangible and : intangible products. The first principle is that information goods are : "experience goods," where real consumer value varies considerably. The : second principle of the information economy revolves around the cost : structure of intangible production. The third reigning principle of the : information economy is that of network externalities. From these three : main principles, the authors survey questions of product differentiation : and versioning, rights management, lock-in, demand-driven externalities, : strategic networks, standards management and information policy. Shapiro : and Varian successfully pull us back out of the clouds through a solid, : theoretically well-founded view of the information economy. : : JEUC EDITOR's NOTE : : If you are presently conducting research or have an interest in the : electronic commerce area and you would like to get a free copy of the : present issue of the journal, please let me know. Please remember that I : will only have a few sample copies to distribute and, therefore, I may not : be able to satisfy everyone's need (I was able to satisfy everyone's : request for a copy of the last issue).
