Fwd: [AISWorld] CfP: 1st Enterprise Engineering Working Conference 2011
by Gustaf Neumann 29 Nov '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP: 1st Enterprise Engineering Working Conference 2011 Datum: Mon, 29 Nov 2010 16:21:32 +0100 Von: Albani Antonia <antonia.albani(a)unisg.ch> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org =================================================================== 1st Enterprise Engineering Working Conference (EEWC 2011) http://ciaonetwork.org/index.php?id=72 16-17 May 2011 Antwerp, Belgium Proceedings published in Springer Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) =================================================================== Motivation ---------- Modern enterprises face a strong economical pressure to increase competitiveness, to operate on a global market, and to engage in alliances of several kinds. But the vast majority of strategic initiatives in enterprises fail, meaning that enterprises are unable to gain success from their strategy. Abundant research indicates that the key reason for strategic failures is the lack of coherence and consistency among the various components of an enterprise. At the same time, the need to operate as a unified and integrated whole is becoming increasingly important. These challenges are dominantly addressed from a functional or managerial perspective, as advocated by management and organization science. Such knowledge is necessary and sufficient for managing an enterprise, but it is inadequate for bringing about changes. To do that, one needs to take a constructional or engineering perspective. Both organizations and software systems are complex and prone to entropy. This means that in the course of time, the costs of bringing about similar changes increase in a way that is known as combinatorial explosion. Regarding (automated) information systems, this has been demonstrated; regarding organizations, it is still a conjecture. Entropy can be reduced and managed effectively through modular design based on atomic elements. The people in an enterprise are collectively responsible for the operation (including management) of the enterprise. In addition, they are collectively responsible for the evolution of the enterprise (adapting to needs for change). These responsibilities can only be borne if one has appropriate knowledge of the enterprise. Focus and Goal -------------- The Enterprise Engineering Working Conference is the first working conference in the emerging field of Enterprise Engineering with the goal to gather academics and practitioners in order to share innovative research issues and practical experiences, and to facilitate profound discussions about challenges mentioned above. Addressing these challenges requires a paradigm shift. It is the mission of the discipline of Enterprise Engineering to develop new, appropriate theories, models, methods and other artifacts for the analysis, design, implementation, and governance of enterprises by combining (relevant parts of) management and organization science, information systems science, and computer science. The ambition is to address (all) traditional topics in said disciplines from the Enterprise Engineering Paradigm. The result of the efforts should be theoretically rigorous and practically relevant. Topics of interest to this workshop include, but are not limited to: * Enterprise Ontology * Enterprise Architecture * Enterprise Governance * Modeling (cross-enterprise) business processes * Reference models for (cross-enterprise) business processes * Domain reference ontologies * Business rules * Information systems development * Information system ontologies * Information system architectures * Component-based system development * Ontology-based web services * Interoperability testing and verification * Service Oriented Architecture * Enterprise modeling and simulation * Organizational modeling and simulation * Business process modeling and simulation * Collaborative, Participative, and Interactive Modeling Organization of the Workshop ---------------------------- The Enterprise Engineering Working Conference arises out of a series of successful workshops (CIAO!'10, CIAO!'09, CIAO!'08, MIOS-CIAO'06, MIOS-INTEROP'05, MIOS'04) held at the DESRIST, CAiSE and OTM Federated conferences so far. We are looking for articles on current or recently finished research projects as well as articles from practitioners. Based on our inspiring experience of the 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2010 workshops, the Enterprise Engineering Working Conference is planned to be a real working conference, providing ample time for profound discussions during two days. The focus of discussion will be on the emerging discipline of enterprise engineering, in particular according to the Enterprise Engineering Manifesto (www.ciaonetwork.org/publications/EEManifesto.pdf). Publication ----------- The EEWC proceedings will be published in the Springer LNBIP series "Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing". The authors of the best papers will be invited to submit an extended version of the paper for possible publication at the International Journal of Information System Modeling and Design (www.igi-global.com/ijism). Submission Conditions --------------------- Papers should be submitted in PDF format. The results described must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. Submissions must conform to Springer's LNBIP format and should not exceed 15 pages, including all text, figures, references and appendices. Submissions not conforming to the LNBIP format or exceeding 15 pages will be rejected without review. Information about the Springer LNBIP format can be found at Springer LNBIP Web page (http://www.springer.com/series/7911). Three to five keywords characterizing the paper should be indicated at the end of the abstract.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] 2nd Call for Contributions and Attendance - Transforming Government Workshop, March 17 - 18 2011 Datum: Mon, 29 Nov 2010 17:56:50 +0000 Von: Muhammad Kamal <Muhammad.Kamal(a)brunel.ac.uk> An: 'aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org' <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear Colleagues We would like to invite you to contribute and attend the transforming government workshop to be held at Brunel University on the 17^th and 18^th of March 2011. The workshop hosts a mixture of UK and EU practitioners and academics as well as well acclaimed Keynote speakers such as *Prof. John Bertot* (Editor-in-Chief -- Government Information Quarterly, University of Maryland, USA) and *Dr. Theresa Pardo* (Director, Centre for Technology in Government, University at Albany, USA). The workshop is pleased to announce that arrangements have been made with the Editor-in-Chiefs of the following journals for the best papers to be considered with a view to be published in: --*/Government Information Quarterly;/* --*/Transforming Government: People, Process and Policy;/**//* --*/International Journal of Electronic Government Research;/**//* --*/Electronic Journal of E-Government./**//* /Transforming Government Workshop Scope:/ E-government implementation efforts have now evolved from basic information provisioning to more integrated and joined up service offerings in most developed countries. Having successfully implemented a number of transaction-based e-services by e-enabling front office and customer facing processes, most developed countries are now working towards realising transformational government (or t-Government). The transformational phase is considered the highest level of maturity for e-government programmes and encompasses redefining the delivery of government services by providing a single point of contact to citizens' that makes the government transparent to citizens and businesses. T-Government involves reengineering and e-enabling back office processes and information systems to enable more joined-up and citizen-centric electronic government services. However, public sector transformation is a massive and complex undertaking involving distributed decision-making that requires a good understanding and evaluation of the political context, business processes and technology. Also, from a demand perspective extensive efforts are required to increase citizens' awareness about the transformation of the delivery of government services and their online availability which would result in increased e-participation. In order to prevent digital divide in terms of using electronic government services, it is also necessary that citizens from all facets of society are equipped with basic ICT skills as well as private and or public access to high-speed internet connections. Yet, despite the availability of innovative technologies, government agencies are faced with many technical, organizational, and socio-economic challenges and barriers that need to be addressed when developing, adopting and diffusing electronic government systems and services. Furthermore, from an organisational perspective t-Government has introduced an environment where most public institutions such as healthcare, social services, education and employment have struggled with the need to balance issues such as transparency and opaqueness, or social inclusion and professionalism. Consequently, there has been increasing pressure on the academic and practitioner communities for research that focuses on bridging the gap between t-Government theory and practice. The aim of this workshop is to provide a common platform for academics and practitioners to discuss and present original research highlighting issues related with technical, organizational, managerial and socioeconomic aspects of both (e) and (t)-government implementation and adoption. */Coverage:/* To ensure that the workshop has the most comprehensive current and relevant coverage of all topics related to transformational government, we are inviting researchers and leading experts in their particular areas of research to contribute papers of 6000-7000 words that offer an in-depth discussion of the key issues, concepts and trends related to the field of transformational government. All manuscripts should be formatted according to the template available on http://www.tgovworkshops.org/). */Recommended topics include, but are not limited to the following:/* ·The development, implementation, control and maintenance of transformational government projects ·Challenges, issues and complexities involving the implementation transformational government ·The significance of t-government benefits offered to both government and citizens ·A global perspective and assessment of t-Government implementation efforts ·IT-Governance, integrated service delivery and reengineering of the public sector ·Different process, information systems and technology integration approaches used in t-Government and e-Government projects ·The impact of e-Government and t-Government on social inclusion and e-participation ·The influence of Web 2.0, social media and cloud computing on public sector transformation ·Enterprise architecture at various levels of government ·Barriers to awareness, adoption and diffusion of (t) and (e) government services ·Evaluation of case studies involving transformational change in the public sector ·Technology alignments in (t) and (e) government projects ·Innovative applications and good practices in (t) and (e) government ·Overview studies; development within countries, policies, infrastructure facilities and comparative studies (comparing countries) of (t) and (e) government ·Tools, methods, frameworks and guidelines for t-Government ·Policy Modelling, Simulation and Visualisation for (t) and (e) government services ·Technologies, design approaches and management strategies that facilitate t-Government ·Theories and conceptual models that support t-Government implementation ·Role of socio-economic determinants in encouraging adoption and diffusion of e-Government services ·And other relevant topics and issues that may influence, relate to or impact on transformational government */Important Dates:/* Electronic Submission:*17^th January, 2011* ** Notification:*31^st January, 2011 * ** Camera Ready Copy:*25^th February, 2011* For further details, please visit our website (http://www.tgovworkshops.org/).

Regular research papers We are looking for original, finished research, with implications for both theory and practice. Motivation for research and discussion of the related work must be included, as well as a description of the research method applied. As research papers will be included in the main conference tracks, authors of accepted papers will be assigned a mentor who will advise and assist in adapting the presentation to suit a mixed audience of practitioners and researchers. Authors of accepted regular papers are also invited to give a short presentation of their research method at a separate workshop on research methods in studies of agile software development. Papers are limited to 10 pages. New ideas and emerging results We are looking for papers that describe new research directions, synergies with other disciplines or results not mature enough to be full papers. These ideas will be further developed with feedback actively sought from the practitioner community. This will provide a great opportunity to develop your ideas with others. Papers are limited to 4 pages. More details will follow in a separate workshop call. Submission Papers will undergo a rigorous double-blind peer-review process, by three reviewers selected from the program committee. Both regular research papers and new ideas and emerging results papers will be published in the electronic proceedings and indexed in IEEE Xplore. Papers must follow the IEEE Proceedings format to be reviewed (http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting). Author information must be removed from submissions. Submissions must be in PDF format. Papers must be submitted electronically through EasyChair: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=agile2011 Upon notification of acceptance, all authors of accepted papers will be asked to complete a copyright form and will receive further instructions for preparing their camera ready version. At least one author of each paper is expected to register and present the results at Agile 2011. Journal special issue Authors of high quality papers relevant to a special issue call will be invited to revise and extend the contribution for the Journal of Systems and Software (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/jss). A separate call for papers will be announced with instructions on direct submission, but we encourage authors to submit to the conference to receive more feedback. Best paper award The IEEE Software Agile 2011 Best Research Award will be chosen from the highest-quality regular research papers having significant potential to impact software practice.

Fwd: [AISWorld] WSM in relation to BPM Research Group at QUT

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] WSM in relation to BPM Research Group at QUT Date: Sun, 28 Nov 2010 12:41:37 -0800 From: Steven Alter <alter(a)usfca.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Jan, I hope your time in Vancouver was enjoyable and productive. I look forward to any further changes in our paper and then submission. Meanwhile, at the same time that I received your email I also saw your posting on AISWorld about the three positions in the BPM group. Since you are one of very few BPM experts who also understands the value of thinking about systems as work systems, not just highly structured business processes where the actual work steps are black box subroutines ( I am surely unaware of the latest BPM advances), you are in a unique position to visualize both disconnects and synergies between these two ways of looking at systemic action in organizations. While it might be easiest to simply keep those two areas separate in your future work, you might consider a number of possible ways of exploring and clarifying both the disconnects and the synergies. Here are a few such ideas: 1) Write an initial paper on the disconnects and potential synergies. Do this by identifying basic assumptions about reality, basic top level concepts, the second layer of concepts related to the top level concept, important omissions, etc. The sources could be the BPM literature on the one hand in comparison with some of the stuff in the WS theory paper I sent you. 2) Apply a highly rigorous BPM kind of mindset to thinking about WSM and how and why it meets or fails to meet criteria for well formed BPM models even with its different terminology. Perhaps this is essentially the same as using evaluation criteria for conceptual modeling concepts (e.g., under what circumstances are concepts overloaded, ambiguous, etc.) 3) Insert WSM awareness into the research that will be done by the three new BPM people at QUT. For example, when they do case studies, have them use WSM to help in clarifying what BPM truly accomplishes in those case study situations and what types of issues it ignores or downplays. One possibility is to have them write two versions of the same case study, one with a BPM mindset and one with a WSM mindset, and then to compare them. I don't know whether that would be possible, but if it would be possible it would probably be a unique contribution. Anyway, I would certainly be interested in discussing any of that or any related possibilities if you would be interested. (The worst case for me is that I would end up less ignorant about BPM.) See you at ICIS? ... or have you had enough of North America for a while?

The positions are under a new research project on "Facilitating Business Process Standardization and Reuse". Project background One of the most pressing management challenges of today's organisations lies in the reuse and standardisation of best practices across different sectors, products or units. This project aims to design and develop an innovative process model repository and appropriate governance structures to efficiently and effectively support the standardisation and reuse of best practices. The project is co-founded by Suncorp, one of Australia's top 25 listed companies and Queensland's largest listed corporation. Suncorp provides a range of banking and insurance products directly to customers through an extensive branch and agency network, call centre operations, on-line facilities, and through intermediaries and corporate partners. The collaboration with Suncorp will offer the successful applicants an opportunity to work with real-life business process models, and the possibility to conduct case studies to validate the outcomes of their research. Research Fellow The role of this research fellow is to work on algorithms and techniques to facilitate standardization of proven practices in large collections of business process models. Moreover, the fellow is expected to take a key role in the management of the research project. S(he) will assist in the supervision of research students where required, and participate in the development of the project by preparing and collating publications, reports and articles, as appropriate.
