ICAIS'09 will serve as a space to present the current state of the art but also future research avenues of this thematic. Topics of the conference cover three aspects: Algorithms & theories of adaptation and learning, Adaptation issues in Hardware, Applications. ICAIS will feature contributed papers as well as world-renowned guest speakers (see webpage), interactive breakout sessions, and instructional workshops. Conference Proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society. * * * IMPORTANT DATES * * * Workshop/Special Session proposal: February 28, 2009 Full paper submission: April 30, 2009 Acceptance notification: June 20, 2009 Final camera ready: July 10, 2009 * * * SCOPE OF THE CONFERENCE * * * Adaptation plays a central role in dynamically changing systems. It is about the ability of the system to "responsively" self-adjust upon change in the surrounding environment. Like in living creatures that have evolved over millions of years developing ecological systems due to their self-adaptation and fitness capacity to the dynamic environment, systems undergo similar cycle to improve or at least do not weaken their performance when internal or external changes take place. Internal or endogenous change bears on the physical structure of the system (the building blocks: hardware and/or software components) due mainly to faults and knowledge inconsistency. It requires a certain number of adaptivity features such as flexible deployment, self-testing, self-healing and self-correction. Extraneous change touches on the environment implication such operational mode or regime, non-stationarity of input, new knowledge facts, interference, etc. The two classes of change also shed light on the research avenues towards smart systems. To meet the challenges of these systems, a sustainable effort is necessary to develop intelligent hardware on one level and concepts and algorithms on the other level. The former level may concern various analog and digital adjustments but also self-healing, self-testing, reconfiguration and many other aspects of system development and maintenance. The latter level is concerned with developing algorithms, concepts and techniques which can rely on metaphors of nature and which are inspired from biological and cognitive plausibility. This two-fold plausibility is the basis for many computational models such as neural networks, evolutionary computation, probabilistic reasoning and many other soft computing and machine learning models. Taking stock of both classes of changes, a system must self-adapt its structure and self-adjust its parameters over time as changes occur. A fundamental issue is the notion of "self" which refers to the capability of the system to act and react on its own and which covers all stages of the system's working and maintenance cycle starting from online self-monitoring to self-growing and self-organizing. * * * TARGET TOPICS (but not limited to) * * * - Theories and Algorithms o Self growing neural networks o Online adaptive and life-long learning o Plasticity and stability o Forgetting o Unlearning o Online adaptive neuro-fuzzy rule-based systems o Online adaptive fuzzy identification systems o Adaptation in changing environments o Concept drift o Self-monitoring o Online diagnostics o Novelty detection o Time series prediction o Online and single-pass data mining o Online information routing o Online classification systems o Online clustering o Online regression o Online feature selection and reduction o Adaptive decision systems o Adaptive preference learning o Principles of self-organization o Methodologies of self-organization o Perception and evolution o Adaptivity and online learning models in computational intelligence - Applications : Adaptivity and learning in o Smart systems o Ambient / ubiquitous environments o Distributed intelligence o Intelligent agent technology o Robotics o Industrial applications o Internet o E-commerce, etc - Hardware: o Evolvable hardware o Bio-inspired architecture o Self-healing systems o Self-reconfigurable systems o Evolutionary hardware design o Evolutionary circuit sythesis o Evolutionary Robotics o Hardware/Software co-evolution o Adaptive Hardware o Embryonic hardware o Evolutionary circuit diagnostics and testing o MEMS and nanotechnology in evolvable hardware * * * SUBMISSION * * * Papers must be in PDF, not exceeding 6 pages and conforming to IEEE Specifications and submitted through the submission system (http://www.isys.uni-klu.ac.at/icais09/openconf/openconf.php).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP for the AMCIS 2009 minitrack on "Information Systems Success & Benchmarking" Datum: Thu, 4 Dec 2008 12:09:27 +0100 Von: Stefan.Smolnik(a)ebs.edu An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de (Apologies for cross-postings of this announcement.) ************************************************* CALL FOR PAPERS 15th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2009) August 6 - 9, 2009 (Thursday-Sunday) San Francisco Marriott (http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/sfodt-san-francisco-marriott/) Track: Performance and Measurement Minitrack: Information Systems Success & Benchmarking Annual worldwide spending on information technology (IT) has been increasing for many years. By 2010, International Data Cooperation expects the total expenditure on IT to reach 1.48 trillion US dollars (IDC 2007). Simultaneously, however, a greater number of information systems (IS) failures are still emerging. A questionnaire-based survey carried out in 2006 in the USA indicated that only 62% of software projects were considered successful (Verner et al. 2006). The measurement of investments and developed systems' success, as well as the paradox of high investments and low productivity returns ("productivity paradox") therefore remains a top concern for both practitioners and researchers (Brynjolfsson 1993). During the last two and a half decades, research on measuring IS success – the clarification of an important dependent variable in IS research – has been a popular stream of research. A number of models have been proposed in attempts to define IS success and identify the various causes of success or failure respectively. Complementary, the benchmarking method allows for an external perspective on the unit of analysis and therefore for an inter-organizational comparison. Thus, organizations are able to assess costs and benefits of IS with respect to a peer group. In addition, benchmarking establishes standards as well as a shared understanding and common procedures. Researchers and practitioners interested in submitting papers to this minitrack are encouraged to present research into strategies, methodologies, and stories that relate to assess and benchmark IS. In addition, this minitrack will be used to explore the bodies of performance measurements that define the current state of research in measuring IS success. Topics and research areas include, but are not limited to: * Frameworks and models for assessing IS success/effectiveness * Measuring IS success/effectiveness in global organizations and globally dispersed communities * Impact of strategic, organizational, process-related, cultural, and other issues on IS success * Critical discussion of existing approaches (D&M IS Success Model, TAM, etc.) * IS success factors and key performance indicators * Benchmarking initiatives comparing IS across different organizations and industries * Exploring security system success and security benchmarking * Empirical studies evaluating different kinds of IS such as - Customer Relationship Management Systems - Project (Portfolio) Management Systems - Knowledge Management Systems - Decision Support Systems - Collaborative Systems - Enterprise Systems * Case studies of IS success and performance evaluation * Why doesn’t focusing on system requirements lead to system success?

Papers should not exceed 5,000 words, including possible attachments. Key Dates: � Abstracts Due: January 20, 2009 � Full Papers Due: February 20, 2009: � Notification of Acceptance: April 2, 2009 � Camera Ready Copy Due: April 20, 2009 You may seek more information at http://amcis2009.aisnet.org or by contacting the mini-track chairs. AMCIS Track: Performance and measurement TRACK DESCRIPTION The challenge for organizations today is how to match and align performance measures with business strategy, structures and corporate culture, the type and number of measures to use, the balance between the merits and costs of introducing these measures, and how to deploy the measures so that the results are used and acted upon. To address this challenge organizations are advised to devise a performance measurement system that provides a set of rules or guidelines for selecting and deploying performance measures. The performance and measurement track of AMCIS 2009 focuses on the measurement of the results, outcomes and efficiencies of IT services and programs. These include customer-oriented process that focuses on maximizing benefits and minimizing negative consequences for customers of services and programs. Potential research areas include: 1. Organizational Effectiveness 2. Process (or Implementation) Evaluation 3. Outcome Evaluation 4. Impact Evaluation 5. Cost-Benefit and Cost-Effectiveness Analyses 6. Future Challenges and Opportunities in Electronic Commerce 7. Information Quality 8. Information Systems Evaluation 9. IS Strategy and Implementation 10. IT Investments in Emerging Economies 11. Measuring IT Investment payoffs 12. Sourcing: Analysis of Costs and Benefits 13. Cost and Measurement of Privacy and Security 14. Group Performance and Team Facilitation 15. Performance Management using Business Intelligence 16. IT metrics for the Information Age 17. Evaluating User Interface design 18. Measuring User Acceptance 19. User Satisfaction and dis-satisfaction AMCIS 2009 Mini-Track: Cost and Benefit Measurements of Privacy and Security Hamid Nemati ISOM Dept. The University of North Carolina at Greensboro 440 Bryan Greensboro, NC 27402 Nemati(a)uncg.edu Theme: A common motivation for corporations to invest in information security is to safeguard their confidential data. This motivation is based on the erroneous view of information security as a risk mitigation activity rather than a strategic business enabler. No longer should information security be viewed solely as a measure to reduce risk to organizational information and electronic assets, it should be viewed as way the business needs to be conducted. To achieve success in information security goals, an organization�s information security program should support the mission of the organization. The Information Systems Security Association (ISSA) has been developing a set of Generally Accepted Information Security Principles (GAISP). GAISP include a number of information security practices, including the need for involvement of top management, the need for customized information security solutions, the need for periodic reassessment, the need for an evolving security strategy and the need for a privacy strategy. This implies that information security should be viewed as an integral part of the organizational strategic mission and therefore, requires a comprehensive and integrated approach. It should be viewed as an element of sound management in which cost-effectiveness is not the only driver of the project. Management should realize that information security and developing measures to protect privacy are smart business practices. By investing in security and privacy measures, an organization can reduce the frequency and severity of securityrelated losses. Possible Topics: This Mini-track features scholarly manuscripts that explore a wide range of issues addressing the costs associated with information security and privacy and ways to measure them. Papers ranging from conceptual frameworks to case studies and empirical research are encouraged. Topics may include but are not limited to: � Research frameworks, methods, methodologies for the study of privacy concerns. � Technological architecture and infrastructure issues dealing with cost measurement in � information security and privacy. � Measuring costs and benefits associated with technology factors that facilitate how data is actually collected, stored, transported and used. � Measuring costs and benefits associated with systems that exist for tracking user information � Measuring costs and benefits associated the techniques that are used to clean, massage and analyze the data to determine the trends and individual profiles. � Measuring costs and benefits associated how business processes are affected the concerns over privacy and security. � Organizational impact of information security and privacy concerns � What are the impact of privacy concerns on individuals and their quality of life. � The role of government agencies in privacy concerns of individuals. � The impact of legislations and government regulations on privacy concerns � Measuring costs and benefits associated with security and privacy issues in E-Services,E-Voting, and E-government in general � Measuring costs and benefits associated with security and privacy of agents and mobile communication systems � Measuring costs and benefits associated with security and privacy of distributed marketplaces, auctions, and gaming � Measuring costs and benefits associated with security and privacy of electronic commerce, banking and payment protocols � Measuring costs and benefits associated with security and privacy of peer to peer computing � Measuring costs and benefits associated with security and privacy preserving and enhancing technologies and initiatives Minitrack: Information Systems Success & Benchmarking Annual worldwide spending on information technology (IT) has been increasing for many years.

ROMANO, JR., Oklahoma State University JERRY FJERMESTAD, New Jersey Institute of Technology DEFINITION OF PROPOSED RESEARCH AREA Electronic Commerce (eCommerce) continues to be a significant, pervasive issue for both enterprises and customers. eCommerce is comprised of two relationship types: those between enterprises and customers; and those between and among enterprises. It is the former this minitrack addresses. Fundamentally eCRM concerns attracting and keeping �Economically Valuable� customers and repelling and eliminating �Economically Invaluable� ones. We are on the threshold of a shift from a transaction-based economy to a �relationship-based economy�. The continuing importance of managing customer relationships in eCommerce is the stimulus for this minitrack. There are 8 major non-mutually-exclusive topics within this minitrack. Each major topic is composed of minor ones, due to the complexity and richness of eCRM issues that need to be researched. The proposed mini-track in particular invites papers that address the business value of e-CRM. Potential topics and research questions include but are not limited to: Topic 1. Business Performance Issues in eCRM � What is the ROI of CRM? How can it be measured? � How is CRM success related to the business profit? How can it be visualized? � How to develop a CRM metric system over time? Which are the essential KPIs to plan, implement, measure and to control CRM? Which are the relevant KPI�s for the different � KPI stakeholders (e.g. management, CRM manager, sales manager, operatives, etc.)? � What are the typical expense and profit factors of a CRM business case? How can particulary qualitative metrics be applied in order to convince the management? � Customer Value-added Measurement � Process Performance Effects of eCRM � Instruments and Frameworks for Measurement of eCRM Performance Topic 2. eCRM within Markets � How markets will emerge? � How the balance of power between suppliers and buyers may shift? � Who will benefit most from changing market structures? Topic 3. eCRM within Business Models � Will new Customer Relations Management Processes be developed? and how will they be structured? � Can process models and business models be developed to help companies involved in eCommerce to attract "economically valuable" customers and retain them and at the same time repel "economically invaluable" customers and keep them away? � What types of cooperative norms will develop within eCommerce virtual communities? Topic 4. Knowledge Management for eCRM � Customer Profiles, Knowledge Elicitation and Creation � Knowledge Analysis � Knowledge Representation � Efficient Mobile Access to Knowledge for Employees and Customers Topic 5. eCRM Technological Issues � What types of interfaces are best for producing sales? � Can the number of actions required for an electronic purchase be minimized? � What infrastructure extensions are required for mCRM in addition to possibly existing eCRM infrastructures? Topic 6. eCRM Human Issues � Customer Commitment to Relationships � Customer Satisfaction � Customer Value-added Measurement � Customer Interactions � Cyber-intermediation � Interface design and usability considerations for eCRM and mCRM applications Topic 7. Security and Privacy Issues in eCRM and mCRM � Building and Maintaining Customer Trust in and with eCRM and mCRM � Privacy Issues in Handling Customer Information in eCRM and mCRM Applications Topic 8.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CfP AMCIS 2009 Mini Track on Semantic Web and Information Systems Datum: Thu, 4 Dec 2008 14:24:17 +0100 Von: Prof. Dr. Gottfried Vossen <vossen(a)helios.uni-muenster.de> Antwort an: Prof. Dr. Gottfried Vossen <vossen(a)helios.uni-muenster.de> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> CC: Prof. Dr. Gottfried Vossen <vossen(a)uni-muenster.de> Call for Papers Mini Track on Semantic Web and Information Systems AMCIS - 15th Americas Conference on Information Systems San Francisco, CA, August 6-9, 2009 http://www.amcis2009.org<http://www.amcis2009.org/> Purpose In the past few years, the Semantic Web communities have brought to maturity a comprehensive set of foundational technology components, both at the conceptual level and in the form of prototypes and software. This includes, among other assets, ontology engineering methodologies, standardized ontology languages, ontology engineering tools, and other infrastructure like APIs, repositories, and scalable reasoners, plus a plethora of work for making the so-called Deep Web and computational functionality in the form of Web 2.0 services accessible at a semantic level. Indeed, ontologies, understood as consensual models of a domain of discourse with some degree of formal semantics, are a research topic of growing interest in several research communities; their potential contribution to core problems of Information Systems as a discipline is widely acknowledged. However, Semantic Web technology is only recently being picked up by Information Systems researchers and practitioners, despite the fact that many problems of data and process management in enterprises and value chains can be traced back to representational mismatches. On the other hand, we can observe that the Semantic Web research communities in Computer Science have not yet addresses the economic dimensions and the conceptual complexity of real-world integration challenges. The workshop aims at bringing together researchers from the following research communities and practitioner groups: Business Process Management, Civil Engineering, Conceptual Modeling, Data and Knowledge Engineering, E-commerce and E-business, E- government, Knowledge Management, Management Information Systems, Ontologies in Computer Science, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Semantic Web and Semantic Web Services, Software Engineering, Web 2.0 community. This conference track is intended as a venue for research that transfers the foundational research from the Semantic Web movement into the Information Systems domain, and extends the state of the art in ontology research by explicitly considering the economic dimension. Suggested Topics We are looking for submissions covering topics including, but not limited to the following: 1. Cost and benefit models for using ontologies in Information Systems; 2. Ontology-based content integration tasks in business and public sector applications, e.g., catalog data integration, spending analysis, corporate search; 3. Semantic business process management; 4. Ontologies in modeling and systems analysis; 5. Semantics-supported Business Intelligence (BI); 6. Ontology support for a. Corporate Knowledge Management, b. Customer Relationship Management (CRM), c. Decision Support Systems, d. E-procurement, e. Enterprise Application Integration, f. Web services matching, g. Human Resources Management, h. Legal Applications, i. Specification and Monitoring of Service-Level Agreements, and j. Supply Chain Management.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] DE@ICSE'09 Datum: Thu, 4 Dec 2008 02:41:32 -0500 Von: Iris Reinhartz-Berger <iris.rberger(a)gmail.com> Antwort an: Iris Reinhartz-Berger <iris.rberger(a)gmail.com> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> ** Apologies for cross-postings. Please send to interested colleagues and students. ** DE@ICSE'09 Workshop on Domain Engineering In Conjunction with ICSE�09 May 17th, Vancouver, Canada http://www.bgu.ac.il/~sturm/DE@ICSE09/ Domain Engineering is an engineering discipline concerned with building reusable assets, such as specification sets, patterns, and components, in specific domains. A domain in this context can be defined as an area of knowledge that uses common concepts for describing phenomena, requirements, problems, capabilities, and solutions. The purpose of domain engineering is to identify, model, construct, catalog, and disseminate artifacts that represent the commonalities and differences within a domain. Although being applicable to different engineering disciplines, domain engineering methods and domain specific languages (DSL) have been recently receiving special attention in the software engineering era. Some of the reasons for this interest are the increasing variability of applications, the need to obtain and share expertise in different, evolving domains, and the trend towards reusing software artifacts and knowledge about them. Domain engineering addresses two main layers: the domain layer, which deals with the representation of domain elements, and the application layer, which deals with the software applications and systems artifacts related to the domain. More specifically, the programs, applications, and systems are included in the application layer, whereas their common and variable characteristics, as can be described, for example, by patterns or emerging standards, are generalized and presented in the domain layer. Similarly to software engineering, domain engineering includes three main activities: domain analysis, domain design, and domain implementation, which are carried out in the domain layer. However, domain engineering also supports inter-layer activities, namely interactions that exist between the domain and application layers. Specifically, domain layer artifacts may be used for creation and validation of the specifications of application layer artifacts, while applications may be generalized into domain artifacts in a process of knowledge elicitation. Domain engineering as a discipline has practical significance as it deals with methods and techniques that may help reduce time-to-market, product cost, and projects risks on one hand, and improve product quality and performance on a consistent basis on the other hand. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners in the area of domain engineering in order to define the topic, identify possible points of synergy, common problems and solutions, and discuss visions for the future of the area. In particular, workshop will focus on the interaction between software engineering and domain engineering. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Methods and techniques to support domain engineering * Product line lifecycle engineering * Development and management of domain assets * Domain-driven software engineering * Testing, modeling, and formal verification of domain and application artifacts. * Application derivation (i.e., how to use domain artifacts in the application layer) * Variability management * Domain-specific languages, frameworks, and architectures * Domain engineering techniques in support of reuse, validation, and knowledge management * Theoretical and empirical evaluation of domain engineering methods and techniques * Case studies and practice reports related to domain engineering Submission Guidelines Prospective workshop participants are invited to submit a paper related to the purpose of the workshop. The workshop will accept three types of submissions: 1. Completed Research � this type of papers should include evidence to support the contribution (e.g. in the form of data analysis, proof of concept, or case studies) and discussion on research findings and their theoretical and practical significance. The paper should not exceed 5,000 words (excluding references and appendices). Accepted completed research papers will be allocated 30 minutes for presentation (including questions & answers) during the workshop. 2. Research-In-Progress � this type of papers can report on research that is under way with preliminary results available at the time of the conference. The paper should not exceed 2,500 words (excluding references and appendices). Accepted research-in-progress papers will be allocated 15 minutes for presentation (including questions & answers) during the workshop. 3. Position papers � this type of papers can include lucid and well-supported statements and suggestions on domain engineering, e.g., directions for the discipline, open questions, criticism on the state-of-the-art, and novel approaches. Accepted position papers will be allocated 15 minutes for presentation (including questions & answers) during the workshop. All three types of papers may refer to theoretical and/or practical issues. Papers must conform to the ICSE 2009 format (see http://www.cs.uoregon.edu/events/icse2009/calls/format/). The paper type (completed research, research-in-progress, or a position paper) should explicitly be indicated after the paper title. In addition, the paper abstract should not be longer than 150 words. As the workshop will apply double-blind reviews process, the papers should not indicate their authors. Papers should be submitted through the on-line system at http://www.bgu.ac.il/~sturm/DE@ICSE09/DE_ICSE09_Submission.htm.. Publication The paper selection will be based upon the relevance of a paper to the main topics, on its quality and on the potential to stimulate discussion in the workshop. Accepted papers will be published in the online ICSE'2009 workshop proceedings. In addition, authors of some selected papers will be asked to consider submitting revised version of the papers as chapters in a book on Domain Engineering to be edited by the workshop co-chairs and published by Springer.

Some people, particularly those who are from developing economies in some parts of the world, are still not informed of the threat and peril of ISP. In some developing countries, ISP issues have not been adequately addressed. As the majority of the ISP standards and best-practice guidelines have been developed by technologically leading countries, most of which are developed economies, relatively few studies have investigated emerging ISP issues in developing economies. To address this gap, this mini-track intends to target ISP issues in developing economies by providing a forum for researchers to present and discuss ISP issues highlighting technical, administrative, strategic, and judicial insights from the perspective of the developing economies. All paper submissions need to address some ISP issue that is specific to the developing economy setting. Papers ranging from quantitative to qualitative studies are encouraged. Both research-in-progress and complete researcher papers will be welcome. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following: � The economic and social aspects of information security � Intellectual property rights and policies � IT outsourcing and information security � Cultural aspects of information security � Open source software security � Security of E-commerce/M-commerce � Information security in e-healthcare � The impact of government policies on information security across industries � Security software industry development and strategies � Security technology adoption � The implication of information security for the future of the IT industry � Key Information security skills for the next decade � Information security evaluation metrics � The impact of privacy legislation � Privacy protection models in developing countries � Protecting privacy in outsourcing projects � Privacy risk in e-commerce/m-commerce � Tools/techniques/protocols for privacy � Trade-offs between security and privacy All paper submissions need to address some ISP issue that is specific to the developing economy setting. Papers ranging from quantitative to qualitative studies are encouraged. Both research-in-progress and complete researcher papers will be welcome. We welcome papers of all methodological approaches. Papers that do not have a clear ISP in developing economies context will not be considered for this mini-track.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Call for Papers: AMCIS 2009 Mini-Track "Case Studies on Enterprise Systems" Datum: Wed, 3 Dec 2008 20:55:36 +0100 Von: Leimstoll,Uwe <uwe.leimstoll(a)fhnw.ch> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> CC: Petra Schubert <petra.schubert(a)uni-koblenz.de>, "Mark Ginsburg (mark(a)seventhrank.com)" <mark(a)seventhrank.com> ********************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS Mini-Track Case Studies on Enterprise Systems ********************************************************** 15th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2009) August 6 - 9, 2009, San Francisco, California Official AMCIS 2009 Web Site: http://www.amcis2009.org ********************************************************** DESCRIPTION The idea of this mini-track is to present case studies on enterprise systems. Case studies have long been used as a research methodology, especially in the area of managerial sciences. In recent years they find growing attention in the area of IT research and practice. Enterprise systems projects are often complex and expensive. The implementation of IT applications requires a combination of management und information technology expertise. Companies need software applications that ideally support their business processes thus providing them with a competitive advantage. Case studies are recognized as a valuable means to demonstrate the kind of applications that can be successfully implemented. It is important to show how companies can master the challenges of complex projects for enterprise systems. We call for papers that describe case studies on the planning and implementation of enterprise systems. Methodology papers dealing with case studies as a research instrument are also welcome. The case studies should focus on one or more of the following topics: * Business process integration, collaborative business * Enterprise application integration (EAI) * ERP-based e-business applications (e.g. CRM, SCM, E-procurement solutions) * ERP and CMS integration * Alignment of corporate strategy and IS strategy * Management of ERP projects * Formats and standards used in enterprise systems * Areas of use and value of case studies * Structured schemes for writing, analyzing, and describing case studies * Cross-case analysis METHODOLOGY: CASE STUDIES The described case studies should meet the following basic requirements. Each case study should be based on a real-world company and provide sufficient detail on the experiences associated with the implementation of the software application. The discussion should include the following four perspectives: (1) business (including motivation and objectives), (2) processes, (3) software applications (including software solution and systems architecture), and (4) technology. A recommendable structure is the description of the company (history, products, vision) and its IS strategy, parties involved (ERP vendor, IT consultant, system integrator, business partners), the enterprise system (from the four perspectives), project management (including implementation aspects), and lessons learned (costs and benefits, success factors). An inherently managerial-oriented style of writing should allow students and managers to understand and appreciate the strategic and operational challenges f aced when implementing the described solution. IMPORTANT DATES Submission of abstracts to mini-track chairs (optional): as soon as possible Paper submission deadline: February 20, 2009 Notification of acceptance: April 2, 2009 Camera ready copy due: April 20, 2009 SUBMISSION PROCESS Submit abstracts via email to Uwe Leimstoll (mailto:uwe.leimstoll@fhnw.ch) as soon as possible.
