Fwd: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2011: Minitrack "Advancing Enterprise Resource Planning through Technology"
by Gustaf Neumann 21 Feb '11

21 Feb '11

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2011: Minitrack "Advancing Enterprise Resource Planning through Technology" Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2011 09:31:17 +0100 From: Prof. Dr. Karl Kurbel <kurbel.bi(a)euv-frankfurt-o.de> To: <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS - 17th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) Minitrack "Advancing Enterprise Resource Planning through Technology" August 4-7, 2011, Detroit, MI, USA http://www.amcis2011.aisnet.org/ ********************************************************** Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems have evolved from large monolithic systems to more and more fragmented systems distributing just about any aspect of a system: functions, processes, data, hardware and infrastructure. This change has gone hand in hand with the incorporation of more and more business functionality into ERP. Starting from material requirements planning (MRP) and manufacturing resource planning (MRP II), the financial and human resources functions as well as executive information systems and eventually long-term strategic planning support for senior management have been included. These developments have made an ERP system "the" core information system of an organization -- and the technological backbone that other information systems need to collaborate with. ERP related functionality such as supply chain management (SCM ), customer relationship management (CRM) and supplier relationship management (SRM) is either integrated, embedded or closely coupled with an ERP system. Software, hardware and networking technology has enabled the increased importance of ERP systems, but it also posed technological and managerial challenges. In contrast to the early ERP monoliths, we nowadays have distributed architectures -- both conventional in-house architectures such as client-server and service oriented architectures (SOA) as well as externally hosted architectures used by application-service-providing (ASP) and software-on-demand solutions. With the appearance of mobile commerce, software-as-a-service (SaaS) approaches and cloud computing, additional challenges have emerged. Technologies such as radio frequency identification (RFID) have opened up new opportunities for an organization to act and react in real-time. RFID, smart items and the "Internet of things" impose new requirements on ERP systems, such as being capable of context-aware information processing. For the new technologies to be successfully implemented, security issues need to be resolved and a satisfactory level of trust in the technologies has to be created. The major vendors' inability to generate significant revenue from software-on-demand solutions indicates that businesses are not ready yet to adopt out-of-house ERP solutions on a large-scale basis. The hurdle is likely to be even higher when anonymous providers of infrastructure and services come into the game, as is the case with cloud computing. Organizations seem to be hesitant about having their mission-critical business processes run somewhere out in a "cloud" and maintaining their core business data in a nirvana. The rationale of this minitrack is exploration of new technologies that can further enhance enterprise resource planning. We invite papers that pursue a constructionist approach to information systems development, following an engineering-like or design-science research style. Papers presenting the development of prototypes as a proof of concept are welcome. Technology-oriented papers should give consideration to the business value of the proposed approaches or solutions. *Suggested Topics* ·Architectures for ERP and related business information systems ·ERP systems based on service oriented architectures (SOA) ·Software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions for ERP and related areas ·Orchestrating an ERP system from web services/enterprise services ·ERP on demand for small and medium-size enterprises ·Federated ERP systems, standardization and collaboration issues ·ERP and cloud computing ·Impact of virtualization and infrastructure-as-a-service on ERP ·Integrating RFID solutions with ERP ·Impact of the "Internet of things" on future ERP systems ·Integrating legacy ERP systems with new components using state-of-the-art technologies ·Mobile ERP and related areas such as mobile SCM, mobile CRM and mobile SRM ·Security issues and trust in new technologies for enterprise resource planning *Paper Submissions* Deadline for submissions: February 28, 2011 *Minitrack Co-chairs* Karl E.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Final Call for Papers: AMCIS 2011 Mini-track "Master Data Management: Strategies, Concepts and Cases"
by Gustaf Neumann 21 Feb '11

21 Feb '11

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Final Call for Papers: AMCIS 2011 Mini-track "Master Data Management: Strategies, Concepts and Cases" Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2011 16:39:08 +0100 From: Boris Otto <boris.otto(a)unisg.ch> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org, wkwi(a)seda.wiai.uni-bamberg.de, wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de CC: Eberhard Hechler <EHECHLER(a)de.ibm.com>, anette.weisbecker(a)iao.fraunhofer.de FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS 17th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2011) August 4-7, 2011, Detroit, MI, USA Track: Business Intelligence and Knowledge Management Mini-track: Master Data Management: Strategies, Concepts and Cases DESCRIPTION Master data management is an application-independent function which describes and manages the business data resource in an organization. It ensures high quality of these data by providing guidelines for its management and it creates a common view on the data. Recently, master data management received much attention from business. A major reason for this is the important role high-quality master data plays with regard to a number of business drivers. Among them are compliance to regulatory requirements, integrated customer management and the need of a "single source of the truth" for company-wide reporting purposes. Despite the relevance of master data quality, current efforts in practice leave much to be desired. Moreover, the topic has been discussed in the information systems (IS) research area to a marginal extent only so far. The proposed mini-track addresses this gap and aims at giving a forum for novel concepts and research work in the following areas: * Strategies for master data management * Master data centric business scenarios and use cases * Cost and benefit analysis for master data management * Application of valuation theories of master data management * Organizational concepts for master data management * Human factors in master data management * Master data governance * Master data quality * Master data security and privacy aspects * Master data lifecycle management * Master data architectures including reference architectures and architecture patterns * Master data management deployment methods * Business metadata management * Standardization activities * Data modeling for master data * Master data and service-orientation * Software architectures * Patterns for data distribution and data synchronization * Case studies and applications * Industry specific aspects of master data management The mini-track chairs welcome innovative research papers from both the academic and the practitioners’ community.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [wkwi] Final Call for Papers: AMCIS 2011 Mini-track "Researcher-PractitionerCollaboration and Knowledge Transfer" Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2011 16:45:34 +0100 (CET) From: Boris Otto <boris.otto(a)unisg.ch> Reply-To: postmaster(a)idefix.buva.sowi.uni-bamberg.de To: undisclosed-recipients:; FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS 17th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2011) August 4-7, 2011, Detroit, MI, USA Track: Design Science Mini-track: Researcher-Practitioner Collaboration and Knowledge Transfer DESCRIPTION The Information Systems (IS) research community is discussing the relevance of its results. The transfer of principles of design sciences from other domains, such as engineering, to IS research is considered a promising way of addressing the issue appropriately. Design Science Research (DSR) aims at delivering research results which are of scientific rigor and of practical relevance at the same time. An integral part of DSR is the identification and description of a relevant practical problem and the evaluation of design artifacts. To perform these tasks, the design-oriented IS researcher has to rely on intensive knowledge transfer from practitioners to research and vice-versa. However, existing research provides only little guidance and support for facilitating and ensuring the required transfer of knowledge. The Design Science Research Methodology (DSRM), for example, says that resources required for this activity would "include knowledge of the state of the problem and the importance of its solution", but does not specify this any further. This mini-track addresses this gap and aims at giving a forum for original and rigorously conducted research in the following (not conclusive) list of areas: * Methods and approaches for researcher-practitioner collaboration * Measures for success of researcher-practitioner collaboration * Required skills and competencies in industry and academia * Organizational design for researcher-practitioner collaboration * Funding researcher-practitioner collaboration * Obstacles and boundaries of researcher-practitioner collaboration * "Stakeholder" management in researcher-practitioner collaboration * DSR and knowledge management * Researcher-practitioner collaboration and project management * Theories for explaining the transfer of knowledge in researcher-practitioner collaboration * Methods and techniques supporting and ensuring the transfer of knowledge * Knowledge transfer in proven approaches such as "Engaged Scholarship", "Living Labs", and "Collaborative Practice Research" * Case studies and applications PAPER SUBMISSION Please submit papers via _http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2011_.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP: 2nd International Workshop on End User Development for Services - EUD4Services'2011

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: 2nd International Workshop on End User Development for Services - EUD4Services'2011 Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2011 13:19:40 +0000 From: Nikolay Mehandjiev <n.mehandjiev(a)manchester.ac.uk> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers EUD4Services 2011 2nd International Workshop on End User Development for Services - Methodologies, Tools, and Evaluations www.eud4services.org/Workshop2011 will be held in Torre Canne (Brindisi), Italy on June 7, 2011 in conjunction with IS-EUD'2011 Third International Symposium on End-User Development http://www.iseud.net The establishment of the Service Oriented Architecture paradigm in professional software development is opening new challenging environments for the End-User Development (EUD) community. SOA has produced a large number of reusable software components, which can be linked and organised into new applications to satisfy specific business and personal needs. If, on the one hand, SOA provides promising tools for the EUD agenda, so far the SOA approach has been characterised by a very technical attitude with little interest to the final user of the resulting applications. Services have been designed to perform software functionalities which can be connected to each other to perform complex tasks, yet the responsibility for composition and deployment was delegated to expert programmers, who are also assumed to be in charge of designing the interface between services and their users. The uptake of EUD within the SOA paradigm is hampered by a set of emerging issues, including intrinsic difficulties stemming from the complexity of technology and distributed nature of computations. The 2nd International Workshop on End User Development for Services focuses on the issues encountered when people who are not software developers attempt to create and compose software services, and on approaches and theories aiming to support such activities. The aim is to establish a community of academics and practitioners working in various fields, including software services, human-computer interaction, software engineering, artificial intelligence, computer-supported cooperative work and innovation management, and facilitate the production of a coherent body of work related to this area. We expect to generate a debate on the potential of SOA for non-technical developers in both professional and personal lives by exploring the challenges of opening up SOA technologies to end-users and ideas on how to facilitate their usage and dissemination. WORKSHOP TOPICS The first workshop devised a number of interesting research topics which foster and guide the focus of the second workshop. The resultant topics for the second workshop include: (1) Studies of organisational and societal practices involving the development of service-based software systems; (2) Cognitive and behavioural studies aimed at establishing theories and models related to people attempting to design software services and service-based applications; (3) Model-informed approaches or tools aiming to facilitate end-user development and design of software services; (4) Evaluation and comparative studies of tools, approaches and theoretical models in the area of end user development for services. A subset of the larger questions and issues we want to address during the workshop are the following: * What are the drivers and obstacles to SOA based EUD? * Is EUD for services a specific branch of EUD or just an application? * What is different about software services compared to conventional software, component-based software and distributed software? * To what extend are existing methods and tools for supporting end user developers of conventional software applicable to software services? * Which cognitive models of design are applicable to the design of software services? * Which methods are appropriate for studying the practices of developing software services? * What are the suitable engineering principles and approaches for understanding, designing, developing, and evolving software services by people who are not software professionals? * How can we facilitate uptake of EUD4Services? PAPER SUBMISSION The workshop welcomes position papers from researchers and practitioners from academia and industry working in the fields of EUD and Software Services. The position papers must not exceed 6 pages following the Springer format guidelines and be submitted in PDF format. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by a minimum of two members of the international programme committee. The proceedings and a report of the workshop will be published on the workshop website. Editing a special issue of a journal will be considered depending on the coherence and quality of the submitted materials and workshop proceedings.

In this session we consider innovation as a new manner of production of software. In software development, innovation can be of different types. Some examples of types of innovations (not a complete list) in software development are: * Use of a new programming language, or development tool, or a bug-tracking tool (category tools) * A new processes or change of development process (category process); * A new design method (e.g. based on Object Orientation rather than on functional decomposition) (category method) * A new code- or test-generation technique (category techniques) * The use of or migration towards cloud-computing or SOA (architectural style/pattern) Innovations may be the collective choice of a team, or the choice of an individual. This survey is not aimed at functional innovations of software products; thus: adding a new feature to a program is not considered an innovation from this sessions’ perspective. For this session we solicit papers describing research regarding: * Case studies and experience reports regarding: * Open source as a source of innovation * Use of migration towards cloud-computing, or SOA * The introduction of/transition towards Model-driven development * The introduction of new testing techniques * The introduction of iterative development process * The introduction of agile development practices Studies on the innovation process and management of innovation * Management of innovation in software development * Studies of diffusion/adoption of innovation in software development * Which types of innovations are popular for which types of software development groups ? * Relation between innovation and development styles (agile, iterative, CMMI, ...) * Innovation ecosystems * The role of universities for innovation in industrial innovation in software development. * Impact of innovation in software development on performance of IT-departments/business SUBMISSION OF PAPERS The Paper submission system and further instructions are available at the submission page: http://seaa2011.oulu.fi/index.php/submission Important dates: * Paper submission dates: o Papers and experience reports: March 1, 2011 o PhD Symposium: March 31, 2011 o Workshop submissions: April 20, 2011 o Work in Progress: May 10, 2011 * Notification of accepted papers: o Papers and experience reports: April 15, 2011 o Workshop submissions: May 20, 2011 * Camera-ready paper due: o Papers and experience reports: June 1, 2011 o Workshop submissions: June 1, 2011 * Conference: August 30 to September 2, 2011 at Oulu, Finland Accepted papers will be included in the proceedings, published by the IEEE Computer Society Press, and the IEEE Xplore Digital library.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] BPM 2011 - Call for papers Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2011 10:35:26 +0100 From: Laurent d'Orazio <laurent.dorazio(a)isima.fr> To: laurent.dorazio(a)isima.fr ================================================================= BPM 2011 9th International Conference on Business Process Management 2011 August 29-September 2, Clermont-Ferrand, France http://bpm2011.isima.fr ================================================================= ======================== Call for Research Papers ======================== BPM 2011 is the ninth conference in a series that provides the most distinguished research forum for researchers and practitioners in all aspects of BPM including theory, frameworks, methods, techniques, architectures, systems, and empirical findings. With an acceptance rate in previous editions at around 13% the conference has a record of attracting innovative research of highest quality, from a mix of disciplines including Computer Science, Management Information Science, Services Computing, Services Science, and Technology Management. This year’s conference will continue with the broad-based themes of previous editions, and strives to strengthen and expand in several key directions . The conference encourages emerging research on new conceptual models for BPM that attempt to unify core aspects of BPM, including process management, data management, business rules and requirements, and analytics. The conference also encourages the increasing interest in applying established and new techniques, such as model-driven architectures, Web services and Web architectures, SOA, and Cloud Computing, to the specific challenges of BPM. In this context, the conference is also looking for contributions on implementation techniques and details for process or Web service execution engines with focus on new application areas. Finally, the conference seeks to attract papers that highlight the pervasive need for BPM capabilities across application areas outside of business management, including healthcare delivery, digital government, disaster management, and management of scientific and other academic endeavors, and that highlight how new techniques can solve the distinctive challenges arising in those diverse areas. Awards will be given to the best papers in different categories. BPM 2011 will be held in Clermont-Ferrand, France, and will be organized by the LIMOS Laboratory (http://www.isima.fr/limos/), CNRS, Université Blaise Pascal. The conference will take place at the campus des cezeaux which is located about minutes from the city center. Clermont-Ferrand is a medium-sized city located in the heart of Auvergne, one of the most beautiful regions of France: ancient volcanoes, lakes and gorges, historic sites and Romanesque architecture make its wealth. Information about the venue and local area are provided on the conference website: http://bpm2011.isima.fr/ . Research topics include, but are not limited to: MODELING AND THEORY OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND PROCESSES Process modeling languages, notations and methods Data-aware and data-centric approaches to BPM Reference process models Variability and configuration of process models Process simulation and static analysis Automated process composition and synthesis Process metadata and semantic reasoning Process patterns and standards Foundations of business process models Security and Privacy aspects in business process modeling PROCESS ARCHITECTURES AND PLATFORMS Process-oriented software architectures Service-oriented architectures for BPM Workflow management systems and infrastructure Security and Privacy aspects of business process execution Automated planning for business process execution Resource management in business process execution Process componentization and component repositories Distributed process execution Cloud computing in support of BPM MANAGEMENT OF PROCESS EXECUTION DATA Models and theory of workflow as data Process tracing and monitoring Dynamic process analysis and Process performance measurement Process mining and learning Process data warehousing Data streaming in business processes PROCESS EVOLUTION AND FLEXIBILITY Process exception handling Process change management Monitoring and provenance across change Adaptive and context-aware processes Case handling Process-enhanced groupware HUMAN-CENTRIC BPM People-intensive processes User-centric aspects of BPM design User-centric aspects of process management and use Cross-organizational processes Globally distributed process management Integrating strategy, process, people and IT Task sourcing through social networks NON-TRADITIONAL BPM SCENARIOS Knowledge-intensive processes Data-driven business processes Distributed and mobile processes Inter-process planning and coordination Scientific processes / grid workflows MANAGEMENT ISSUES AND EMPIRICAL STUDIES Business process lifecycle management Relationship of business strategy and business process Success factors and measures in BPM BPM governance and compliance management BPM Maturity Adoption and Practice of BPM Case Studies and Experience Reports in BPM BPM in support of business networks ================================= Conference Paper Submission ================================= BPM 2011 invites research submissions on all topics related to business process management, including but not limited to those listed above.

Final papers must be submitted by 13 March 2011. Submission details and formatting instructions are given at the website. All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings published by Springer-Verlag in their LNCS series. For each accepted paper, at least one author is required to register for the conference and should plan to present the paper. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their paper to a special issue Information Systems (an Elsevier Science Journal). Additional Conference Activities The BPM 2011 conference will include a diverse set of tracks and activities in addition to the main research track. As with previous editions of the conference, there will be several associated workshops that explore newly emerging approaches, methods, and technologies in the BPM space. All or most of these workshops will be held on 29 August 2011. The Demo Track will showcase new, innovative systems that illustrate key BPM functionalities. The proceedings of the workshops, and short papers describing the demos, will be published in a volume of Springer’s Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP). The Industrial Experiences track aims at bridging the viewpoints of leading research outcomes with practical demands and industrial experience; practitioners are encouraged to submit papers reporting on innovative industrial implementations and applications of BPM methods and techniques, with a particular emphasis on their impact on information technology use or business practice. The conference will include tutorials on cutting-edge frameworks and associated principled techniques for solving BPM challenges. There are plans for a Doctoral Consortium, that will provide students in advanced stages of their dissertation work an opportunity to share their research with peers, world-class researchers, and industry experts in Business Process Management. Finally, a summer school directly following the main conference is envisioned. ================================= Preliminary conference schedule ================================= Abstract submissions: 6 March 2011 Final paper submissions: 13 March 2011 Notification of acceptance: 13 May 2011 Camera-ready papers: 12 June 2011 Doctoral Symposium: 28 August 2011 Workshops + industry day: 29 August 2011 Conference: 30 August - 1 September 2011 Summer school: 2 September, 2011 -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Administrator: wi-admin(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Konfiguration: https://www.lists.uni-karlsruhe.de/sympa/info/wi

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] AMCIS 2011: Minitrack "Advancing Enterprise Resource Planning through Technology" Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2011 08:32:03 +0000 From: wi-sek <wi-sek(a)europa-uni.de> To: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, wir möchten Sie gern auf den Minitrack "Advancing Enterprise Resource Planning through Technology" im Rahmen des Tracks "Enterprise Systems" auf der AMCIS 2011 in Detroit, MI, USA aufmerksam machen. Der Minitrack thematisiert Fortschritte und Weiterentwicklungen auf dem Gebiet des Enterprise Resource Planning, die durch neue Technologien ermöglicht werden. Beiträge, die dem konstruktionsorientierten Paradigma folgen, sind willkommen. Deadline für Einreichungen: 28. Februar 2011 AMCIS-Website: http://www.amcis2011.aisnet.org/ Mit freundlichen Grüßen Karl Kurbel, Universität Frankfurt (Oder) Jorge Marx Gomez, Universität Oldenburg ********************************************************* CALL FOR PAPERS - 17th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) Minitrack "Advancing Enterprise Resource Planning through Technology" August 4-7, 2011, Detroit, MI, USA ********************************************************** Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems have evolved from large monolithic systems to more and more fragmented systems distributing just about any aspect of a system: functions, processes, data, hardware and infrastructure. This change has gone hand in hand with the incorporation of more and more business functionality into ERP. Starting from material requirements planning (MRP) and manufacturing resource planning (MRP II), the financial and human resources functions as well as executive information systems and eventually long-term strategic planning support for senior management have been included. These developments have made an ERP system "the" core information system of an organization -- and the technological backbone that other information systems need to collaborate with. ERP related functionality such as supply chain management (SCM ), customer relationship management (CRM) and supplier relationship management (SRM) is either integrated, embedded or closely coupled with an ERP system. Software, hardware and networking technology has enabled the increased importance of ERP systems, but it also posed technological and managerial challenges. In contrast to the early ERP monoliths, we nowadays have distributed architectures -- both conventional in-house architectures such as client-server and service oriented architectures (SOA) as well as externally hosted architectures used by application-service-providing (ASP) and software-on-demand solutions. With the appearance of mobile commerce, software-as-a-service (SaaS) approaches and cloud computing, additional challenges have emerged. Technologies such as radio frequency identification (RFID) have opened up new opportunities for an organization to act and react in real-time. RFID, smart items and the "Internet of things" impose new requirements on ERP systems, such as being capable of context-aware information processing. For the new technologies to be successfully implemented, security issues need to be resolved and a satisfactory level of trust in the technologies has to be created. The major vendors' inability to generate significant revenue from software-on-demand solutions indicates that businesses are not ready yet to adopt out-of-house ERP solutions on a large-scale basis. The hurdle is likely to be even higher when anonymous providers of infrastructure and services come into the game, as is the case with cloud computing. Organizations seem to be hesitant about having their mission-critical business processes run somewhere out in a "cloud" and maintaining their core business data in a nirvana. The rationale of this minitrack is exploration of new technologies that can further enhance enterprise resource planning. We invite papers that pursue a constructionist approach to information systems development, following an engineering-like or design-science research style. Papers presenting the development of prototypes as a proof of concept are welcome. Technology-oriented papers should give consideration to the business value of the proposed approaches or solutions. *Suggested Topics* ·Architectures for ERP and related business information systems ·ERP systems based on service oriented architectures (SOA) ·Software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions for ERP and related areas ·Orchestrating an ERP system from web services/enterprise services ·ERP on demand for small and medium-size enterprises ·Federated ERP systems, standardization and collaboration issues ·ERP and cloud computing ·Impact of virtualization and infrastructure-as-a-service on ERP ·Integrating RFID solutions with ERP ·Impact of the "Internet of things" on future ERP systems ·Integrating legacy ERP systems with new components using state-of-the-art technologies ·Mobile ERP and related areas such as mobile SCM, mobile CRM and mobile SRM ·Security issues and trust in new technologies for enterprise resource planning *Minitrack Co-chairs* Karl E.
