-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] 2nd CfP - AMCIS 2012 Mini-Track: "IT Governance, Alignment, and Architectures" Datum: Mon, 6 Feb 2012 16:20:38 +0100 Von: Patas, Janusch <j.patas(a)fs.de> Antwort an: Patas, Janusch <j.patas(a)fs.de> An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org>, <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> *2^nd CALL FOR PAPERS* 18th Americas Conference on Information Systems Seattle, Washington, August 9-12, 2012 *TRACK*: Strategic Use of Information Technology *MINI-TRACK*: IT Governance, Alignment, and Architectures *Description* An integral part of IT management is the planning, steering, controlling, and monitoring of the enterprise IT systems and infrastructure in an efficient and effective way. On the one hand, IT managers have to satisfy business requirements and demonstrate the value-generating abilities of IT to the business. On the other hand, information technology and concepts of its application are evolving rapidly and thus managers have to decide which innovation out of many should be adopted within their respective IT organization. In the last years, research and practice have developed and highlighted the benefits of new concepts to cope with these challenges. These are for instance concepts from: IT governance, IT alignment as well as enterprise architecture management. Furthermore, a lot of (best practice) reference models and frameworks (e. g. COBIT, ITIL, CMMI), standards (ISO 38500, 20000, etc.), and tools were developed and refined. They all provide methodological support to IT management. The mini track "IT Governance, Alignment, and Architectures" aims to review and discuss the state of the art of methodological support from a holistic perspective and will debate new approaches to support IT governance, business/IT alignment and IT architectures. In addition, new challenges and empirical findings should be analyzed within this domain. Both conceptual and empirical papers are welcome and will be considered for this Mini-Track. *Research papers of interest include, but are not limited to:* - Relationship between and linking of IT governance and enterprise architectures - Interdependencies between IT governance and enterprise architecture - IT governance frameworks and their application - Benefits of frameworks and standards in IT governance - Comparison, mapping and integration of IT governance/ best practice frameworks - Methodological support for IT governance and business/ IT alignment - IT governance architectures - Maturity models for IT governance, alignment and enterprise architectures - IT processes and controls - Impact of IT governance on the business value of IT - Education in IT governance - Case studies in IT governance / enterprise architecture *Mini-Track Chairs: * Matthias Goeken Danijel Milicevic Janusch Patas {m.goeken | d.milicevic | j.patas}(a)fs.de FrankfurtSchoolof Finance & Management Sonnemannstraße 9-11 60314 Frankfurt am Main Germany *Submission Procedure:* Submit your paper using the manuscript central system at -- http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2012 *Important Dates* .

All reasonable typesetting formats are acceptable (later, the authors of accepted papers will be asked to follow a particular typesetting format to prepare their final papers for publication.) Papers must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. The first page of the paper should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation, postal address, and email address for each author. The first page should also identify the name of the Contact Author and a maximum of 5 topical keywords that would best represent the content of the paper. The name of the conference (ie, ICAI) that the paper is being submitted for consideration must be stated on the first page of the paper as well as a 100 to 150-word abstract. The length of the final Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited to 7 (two-column IEEE style) pages. Each paper will be peer-reviewed by two experts in the field for originality, significance, clarity, impact, and soundness. In cases of contradictory recommendations, a member of the conference program committee will be charged to make the final decision (accept/reject); often, this would involve seeking help from additional referees by using a double-blinded review process. In addition, all papers whose authors include a member of the conference program committee will be evaluated using the double-blinded review process. (Essay/philosophical papers will not be refereed but may be considered for discussion/panels). Proceedings of ICAI will be published in printed conference books (ISBN) and will also be made available online. The proceedings will be indexed in science citation databases that track citation frequency/data for each published paper (science citation databases such as: Inspec / IET / The Institute for Engineering& Technology; The French National Center for Scientific Research, CNRS, INIST databases, PASCAL (covers the core scientific literature in Science; about 90% of inclusions are journals; only about 9% are proceedings; worldcomp tracks are selected to be among the 9% - accessable from INIST, Datastar, Dialog, EBSCO, OVID, Questel.Orbit, Qwam, and STN International); and others. Though, there is no guarantee that the proceedings will also be included in EI Compendex/Elsevier indexings, in the past, the proceedings were included in these databases. Therefore, we will also be sending the proceedings for indexing procedures to EI Compendex/Elsevier. The printed proceedings/books will be available for distribution on site at the conference. In addition to the publication of the proceedings, selected authors will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers for publication in a number of research books contracted with various publishers (such as, Springer, Elsevier, ...) - these books will be composed after the conference.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: rBPM 2012 (3rd International Workshop on Reuse in Business Process Management) @ BPM 2012 Datum: Mon, 6 Feb 2012 23:17:40 -0200 Von: Marcelo Fantinato <m.fantinato(a)usp.br> An: <sbc-l(a)sbc.org.br>, <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> *3rd International Workshop on Reuse in Business Process Management (rBPM 2012)* http://www.each.usp.br/rbpm/2012/ September 3, 2012 Tallinn, Estonia In conjunction with the *10th International Conference on Business Process Management (BPM 2012)* http://bpm2012.ut.ee/ ------- CALL FOR PAPERS ------- * * *Aims and Scope: Academia and Industry* ============================= Current complexity of corporative world demands dynamic and flexible IT infrastructure to provide technical solutions for conducting business. Business Process Management (BPM) has been providing important technological support to improve organization competitiveness. In order to increase dynamism and competitiveness, BPM can benefit from reuse techniques and tools at several stages of business process life cycle. The 3rd International Workshop on Reuse in Business Process Management will be dedicated to explore any type of reuse in the BPM domain, taking into account both the results of research in academia and the results of applications in industry. It will be a forum to discuss systematic reuse applied to BPM at its various levels and different life cycle stages, including: (1) basic service-oriented foundation level: including service development, description, publication, discovery, selection, negotiation, and aggregation; (2) management and monitoring upper level: including business process modeling, execution, monitoring, administration, and optimization. Moreover, the impact of reuse on business- and service-oriented engineering as well as analyzing how it can help in the design of higher quality process models are very important topics to be discussed. Different existing reuse approaches and techniques can be extended to be applied to this fairly new domain, including: software product line or software product families; variability descriptors; design patterns such as feature modeling; aspect-orientation; and component-based development. In addition, completely novel approaches and techniques can be proposed. Their application must also be discussed, preferably under experimentation as well as results analysis. *Suggested Topics* ============= Possible topics for the workshop papers are (but are not restricted to) - related to both research in academia or applications in industry: - Product Lines (Product Families) for BPM - Patterns for business process and workflows - Variability descriptors applied in BPM elements - Feature modeling applied in BPM elements - Aspect-oriented extensions for BPM - Component-based Development and Service and Business-oriented Engineering - Reuse in Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) - Reuse in service development, negotiation, composition - Quality of Service (QoS) and Reuse - Reuse in SaaS (Software as a Service) approaches - Reusable asset libraries for BPM - Reuse in semantic Web services - Ontologies in business process modeling - Empirical findings related to reuse in the BPM domain - Surveys related to reuse in the BPM domain - Reuse in business process modeling, execution, monitoring - Reuse in electronic contract establishment - Case studies and experiments results related to reuse in BPM - Analysis of reuse related to Web services, WSDL, WS-BPEL - Reuse in e-Business, e-Commerce, B2B, B2C, virtual organizations - Web services, WSDL, WS-BPEL and extensions to improve reuse - Model-driven approaches for reuse *Submission Guidelines* ===================== Papers should be submitted in English language, in PDF format and in the LNBIP (Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing) format.
