Call for Papers
IFIP WG8.1 Working Conference on
Engineering Information Systems in the Internet Context
Kanazawa, Japan
September 25-27, 2002
Web site : http://ebiz.int-evry.fr/ifip2002-wc
e-mail : eisic(a)univ-paris1.fr
Conference Aims and Objectives
Since the early 1980's, the IFIP WG8.1 conferences have provided
a forum for the presentation and exchange of research results and practical
experiences in the field of Information System Engineering.
The WG8.1'02 Conference will be held in the beautiful Kanazawa area in
North western Japan. The conference programme will feature invited talks,
paper presentations, workshops and interactive panel sessions.
Conference Theme
The ubiquitous Web has revolutionised the way organisations communicate and
work internally as well as externally and, consequently, the nature of
information systems supporting business activities. Web-based systems have
become the state of the art in information systems engineering in a very
short time. As companies become more international in their strategies and
activities, information systems themselves span the globe, led by the
Internet. While the risks from failed systems may be enhanced due to higher
expectations and increased complexity, we have the opportunity to learn more
bout the nature of information systems and to develop new engineering
techniques and methods to improve the development of information services in
a World Wide Web context. The main theme of this working conference is
"Engineering Information Systems in the Internet Context" and the programme
will address both technologies and methodologies for building them.
Relevant Topics
Models, Methods and Tools for Web-IS Engineering
Method Engineering
Requirements Engineering
Web-IS Engineering Process Modelling and Enactment
E-business Applications Engineering
MetaData and Ontologies
Workflow related Issues in Web-IS Engineering
Report of Experience in IS Engineering in the Web Context
Impact on Organisation Structures and Strategies
Architectural Web-IS Design
Componentware and Web-ISDistributed, Web and Mobile Architectures
XML and Semi-Structured Data for Web Applications
Standardisation Issues
Web-Data Mining
Secure Transaction Processing methods for Web-IS
Co-operative Work Support
Concurrent Web-IS Engineering
Adaptive Web IS and User Profiling
Call for papers
The Program Committee solicits original technical papers either in the area
of the main conference theme or relevant to the list of topics given above.

Alternate Track of
11th International World Wide Web Conference (WWW2002),
May 7-11, 2002, in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA
http://www2002.org/http://webengineering.org/events/
Co-Chaired by:
Martin Gaedke, University of Karlsruhe, Germany
Daniel Schwabe, PUC-RIO, Brazil
San Murugesan, University of Western Sydney, Australia
Yogesh Deshpande, University of Western Sydney, Australia
Key Dates are:
Paper Submission deadline: November 13, 2001
Author Notification: January 25, 2002
Final Paper Due: February 25, 2002
The World Wide Web is having phenomenal impact on business, industry,
finance, education, government, entertainment, and other sectors. The
Web's initial scope as an environment for information exchange has been
significantly extended, and a whole range of new applications is emerging
in the Web environment. The Web also serves as a platform for many
distributed applications. The original simple and well-defined
document-oriented model of the Web, which limits the Web's potential, is
being extended and enhanced by initiatives such as Semantic Web to cater
to advanced applications.
Web application development is, however, still mostly ad hoc, generally
lacks disciplined and systematic approaches, causing concerns about their
maintainability, quality and reliability. It often neglects appropriate
established practices from other disciplines such as Hypermedia and HCI to
create, manage, and reuse structures of the information space and enhance
the end user experience. And in most cases, Web development suffers from
its biggest potential: new technologies and devices allowing for
ubiquitous use of these applications.
Web Engineering addresses these issues and focuses on systematic,
disciplined and quantifiable approaches to the cost-effective development
and evolution of high-quality, ubiquitously useable Web-based systems and
applications.
This track covers processes, methodologies, system design, lifecycle and
management of large Web-based systems and education and research issues.
Further, it would discuss case studies and best practices, and pave
directions further work.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Web Application Development Processes and Methodologies
- Design Models and Methods
- Web Application Frameworks and Architectures
- OO Technology and Component-Based Web Engineering
- Web Services and Service-based Approaches
- Reuse and Integration
- Web Design Patterns and Pattern Mining
- Managing System Evolution and Maintenance
- Web Personalization
- Web Metrics
- Quality Measures and Evaluation
- Web Usability
- Web Application Testing
- Performance Monitoring and Evaluation
- Development Teams and Web Project Management
- Legal and Social Obligations
- Case Studies
Papers discussing relationship and interaction among Web development and
other disciplines are also invited.

TRACK DESCRIPTION:
The growth of the Internet and its acceptance among both organizations and
end users has paved the way to the rise of ASP vendors. ASP vendors are
companies that deliver and manage applications and computer services from
remote data centers to multiple users via the Internet. According to
Gartner Group, the ASP market will reach $25 billion by 2004 compared to
$3.5 billion in year 2000. The major service categories dominating the ASP
market include business application hosting, ERP, E-commerce, customer
relationship management (CRM), supply chain management (SCM), digital
content storage, Web hosting, and wireless applications. ASP vendors make
these applications available to be accessed by their clients via the
Internet or the dedicated communication networks. The ASP service delivery
model allows ASP vendors to reduce the cost of services through the economy
of scale, and at the same time, the valuable resources of the ASP clients
can be freed up to focus on their core competencies. Moreover, this model
reduces the importance of national boundaries in service providing and
allows an increasing level of global IT service delivery not seen before.
ASP model differs from the traditional outsourcing in a number of aspects
including the types of applications, client organizations, methods of
service delivery, pricing structure, contractual agreement, and
client-vendor relationships. Therefore, it offers new and fruitful areas
for academic research opportunities. This track provides researchers
worldwide with a forum for further exploring these issues related to global
e-sourcing and ASP.
RECOMMENDED TOPICS
Papers (completed or in-progress: about 20 double spaced pages),
extended abstracts (completed or in-progress research: about 4-6 pages),
panel and workshop proposals (2-4 pages) dealing with (but not limited
to) the following topics are invited. Please mention the name of this
track on the cover page.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Opportunities and difficulties in global e-sourcing
- Global B2B services
- ASP value chain analysis
- Global business and technical collaboration
- Service Level Agreement (SLA) and contractual issues in global
e-sourcing and ASP
- Global e-sourcing and ASP business models
- Client-vendor relationships in global e-sourcing and ASP

Martin Gaedke, University of Karlsruhe, Germany
Daniel Schwabe, PUC-RIO, Brazil
San Murugesan, University of Western Sydney, Australia
Yogesh Deshpande, University of Western Sydney, Australia
Key Dates are:
Paper Submission deadline: November 13, 2001
Author Notification: January 25, 2002
Final Paper Due: February 25, 2002
The World Wide Web is having phenomenal impact on business, industry,
finance, education, government, entertainment, and other sectors. The
Web's initial scope as an environment for information exchange has been
significantly extended, and a whole range of new applications is emerging
in the Web environment. The Web also serves as a platform for many
distributed applications. The original simple and well-defined
document-oriented model of the Web, which limits the Web's potential, is
being extended and enhanced by initiatives such as Semantic Web to cater
to advanced applications.
Web application development is, however, still mostly ad hoc, generally
lacks disciplined and systematic approaches, causing concerns about their
maintainability, quality and reliability. It often neglects appropriate
established practices from other disciplines such as Hypermedia and HCI to
create, manage, and reuse structures of the information space and enhance
the end user experience. And in most cases, Web development suffers from
its biggest potential: new technologies and devices allowing for
ubiquitous use of these applications.
Web Engineering addresses these issues and focuses on systematic,
disciplined and quantifiable approaches to the cost-effective development
and evolution of high-quality, ubiquitously useable Web-based systems and
applications.
This track covers processes, methodologies, system design, lifecycle and
management of large Web-based systems and education and research issues.
Further, it would discuss case studies and best practices, and pave
directions further work.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Web Application Development Processes and Methodologies
- Design Models and Methods
- Web Application Frameworks and Architectures
- OO Technology and Component-Based Web Engineering
- Web Services and Service-based Approaches
- Reuse and Integration
- Web Design Patterns and Pattern Mining
- Managing System Evolution and Maintenance
- Web Personalization
- Web Metrics
- Quality Measures and Evaluation
- Web Usability
- Web Application Testing
- Performance Monitoring and Evaluation
- Development Teams and Web Project Management
- Legal and Social Obligations
- Case Studies
Papers discussing relationship and interaction among Web development and
other disciplines are also invited.
