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). Authors whose papers are accepted will be instructed to upload their papers to a particular web site for publication - the uploaded papers to the publication web site will only be checked for correct typesetting. At this point, authors will be required to attest to the originality of their work (ie, declaring that no part of the work is plagiarized and the paper does not suffer from any acts of plagiarism.) 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 of ICAI was 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 - these books will be composed after the conference. Also, many chairs of tracks will be forming journal special issues to be published after the conference. SUBMISSION OF POSTER PAPERS: Poster papers can be 2 pages long. Authors are to follow the same instructions that appear above (see, SUBMISSION OF REGULAR PAPERS) except for the submission is limited to 2 pages. On the first page, the author should state that "This paper is being submitted as a poster". Poster papers (if accepted) will be published if and only the author of the accepted paper wishes to do so. IMPORTANT DATES: March 27, 2012: Submission of full papers (about 7 pages) April 26, 2012: Notification of acceptance (+/- 2 days) May 12, 2012: Final papers + Copyright/Consent + Registration July 16-19, 2012: The 2012 International Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ICAI'12) GENERAL INFORMATION: ICAI conference is being held jointly (same location and dates) with a number of other research conferences, WORLDCOMP congress.

The Congress makes concerted effort to reach out to participants affiliated with diverse entities (such as: universities, institutions, corporations, government agencies, and research centers/labs) from all over the world. The congress also attempts to connect participants from institutions that have teaching as their main mission with those who are affiliated with institutions that have research as their main mission. The congress uses a quota system to achieve its institution and geography diversity objectives." One main goal of the congress is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research conferences, workshops, and symposiums into a coordinated research meeting held in a common place at a common time. This model facilitates communication among researchers in different fields of computer science, computer engineering, and applied computing. The Congress also encourages multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary research initiatives; ie, facilitating increased opportunities for cross-fertilization across sub-disciplines. 67969 MEASURABLE SCIENTIFIC IMPACT OF PROCEEDINGS: The conference proceedings enjoy a high number of citations.

They provide a technology platform that enables organizations to integrate their information assets and coordinate their business processes. As the central nervous system of the organization, they ensure that information can be shared across all functional departments and managerial levels. EIS are invaluable because they eliminate the problem of information fragmentation caused by multiple information systems in an organization. The CONFENIS series of conferences offers an annual opportunity to EIS researchers and practitioners to present recent research or application experiences, to provide feedback to peers, to set out the vision for future research and developments in the field, and to create or confirm long-lasting and fruitful collaborations. With the theme of CONFENIS 2012 we wish to emphasize two evolutions in the science and practice of EIS. The first evolution is the development of more open systems, for instance, the creation of interoperation between systems from collaborating organizations or the composition of systems from standard modules and packages offered by different vendors. The second evolution is the move towards more flexible systems, meaning easily configurable and adaptable systems based on service-oriented software architectures, the software as a service business model, cloud computing infrastructures, and software product line approaches. We therefore especially welcome Design Science research and technical or evaluation papers on methods, techniques and technologies to make EIS more transparent, e.g. research on enterprise modelling, ontology and architecture that would â??open upâ?? the structure and behaviour of enterprise systems, as well as empirically-driven research and theoretical, conceptual or even visionary papers on how flexible EIS solutions can foster business agility and innovation. Apart from research papers, the call for papers is also open to practice-driven experience reports that reflect upon openness and flexibility in the context of the acquisition, implementation, use and management of EIS in organizations. The conference is hosting an industry & service track aimed at exploring emerging topics in depth. We therefore particularly welcome contributions from starters, SMEâ??s, social profit organizations, organizations within non-business sectors or any other kind of organization that was not targeted by the standard monolithic enterprise system software packages of the past. Topics of interest Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: â??Enterprise Information System (EIS): evolution in concept, technology, and application â??EIS classifications and typologies â??Design of EIS: approaches to variability, adaptability and flexibility â??Acquiring, implementing and managing EIS: approaches, experiences, lessons learned â??Success of EIS: satisfaction, acceptance, adoption â??Integration and interoperability of enterprise systems â??Enterprise modelling, ontology, architecture, and engineering â??Business process management and service-oriented architecture for enterprise systems â??New platforms for EIS: Web-based EIS, cloud computing for enterprise systems, platform/infrastructure as a service â??New EIS delivery and commercial models, e.g., Software as a Service (SaaS), software on demand, from proprietary to open source in enterprise system packages â??IT governance and EIS: trust, security and privacy issues in EIS, compliance issues, risk management, value delivery, alignment of business and enterprise systems â??Quality assurance of enterprise systems and enterprise information â??ERP and social media (social ERP): integration of social media software in EIS â??Market trends, opportunities, and future strategies for EIS software vendors, integrators and implementers â??Making sense of EIS: application of theories used in organization studies and the social sciences â??Behavioural and social studies of the impact of EIS on individuals, teams, and organizations â??Economic studies of EIS: benefits, costs and risks, productivity studies, impact on organizational performance â??The art of researching EIS: research methodologies and paradigms â??EIS best practices and use cases â??EIS and more specifically ERP in smeâ??s and start-ups: needs, thresholds, lessons learned, opportunities and visionary trends â??EIS in social profit organisations, in healthcare, in other economic domains: media, accounting,.. â??ERP and cloud computing (cloud ERP) â??ERP and open source Four types of papers, two different tracks We are soliciting four types of papers for two different tracks: an *academic track* that is mainly focused on research issues in EIS and an *industry & service track* that is mainly focused on practical issues in EIS. 1.*Regular research papers*(*_academic track_*) report on completed EIS research that complies with rigorous scientific standards. These papers present original results of completed research studies with the aim of obtaining feedback from fellow researchers. ** 2.*Work-in-progress papers*(*_academic track_*) are short papers that present the design and preliminary results of ongoing EIS research studies with the aim of obtaining early feedback and further guidance from experts and peers. Work-in-progress papers will be evaluated using the same academic standards as regular research papers (except for completeness requirements).** 3.*Conceptual or visionary papers*(*_industry & service track_*) are papers that may target practitioners, researchers, or both. Their aim is to convey a clear message based on well-founded arguments, though not necessarily based on the results of specific scientific studies. The ideas expressed may be driven by experience with the practice of EIS or research in EIS. These papers will be evaluated mainly for their readability, innovativeness, and soundness of the ideas expressed.** 4.*Experience reports*(*_industry & service track_*) describe real-life experiences with EIS that authors wish to share with fellow practitioners and EIS researchers. They focus on specific problems and solutions in specific contexts. Their aim may be to help other practitioners facing similar problems or to solicit help and possible solutions from other practitioners (or EIS researchers). We especially welcome papers aiming at following domains** â??media â??healthcare IT â??smeâ??s and ERP: from design for large enterprises towards adaptation for smaller organizations (smeâ??s) and social profit organisations â??from transactional systems to decision-making systems, from ERP and SCM over CRM, Office Systems towards Business Intelligence and Web 2.0Â Â â??approaches for training and communication when implementing ERP â??change management in the context of planning and/or implementing ERP â??sources of success and failure when selecting, planning, implementing ERP â??evaluation and benefits management of EIS projects â??characteristics, skills and competencies of planning and/or implementation teams The evaluation of these papers will be based mainly on readability, relevance to the conference, and potential interest to the conference participants. The submission process will be handled by the EasyChair conference management system.

Due to their complex requirements the design of WIS is not a trivial task. Design methodologies provide guidelines for the creation of WIS so that the complexity of this process becomes manageable. Based on the separation-of-concerns principle some of these methodologies propose models to specify different aspects of WIS design like data integration, navigation structure, user interface, user interaction, presentation personalization, etc. Recent advances in networking technologies enabled WIS access via different devices (e.g., PDA, Smart phone, PC, BlackBerry, etc.). In addition to this device heterogeneity there is also a heterogeneous audience (e.g., different backgrounds, different goals, etc.) that wants to access the same system. In order to improve the user experience, these systems often need to personalize the content and its presentation based on the current user needs (e.g., user’s browsing platform or user preferences). Another aspect that can influence the behaviour of a WIS is the context of use (e.g., the geographical position, the temporal information, the weather conditions, etc.). Systems that are able to exploit this kind of information will further improve the application usefulness for their users. Integrating such information is possibly made available by specialized services and the need to seamlessly integrate these services into a WIS is therefore an important part of WIS development research. As the Web data is very diverse, WIS are seeking efficient and flexible approaches to provide integrated views over heterogeneous data sources. These data sources are usually autonomous (maintained by different organizations), overlapping, frequently changing, and distributed. All these characteristics make the data integration on the Web a very challenging research topic. The increased use of rich-clients applications (e.g., AJAX, OpenLaszlo, etc.) poses new demands to WIS design. The design of these applications needs to go beyond the server roundtrip paradigm by considering the new functionality added to clients, an intelligent data-push communication with the server, interactive-rich graphical interfaces, etc. Also, with the current emergence of social Web applications (e.g., Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, etc.) there is a need to properly model the highly dynamic aspects of these systems. In addition, WIS can tap into the data made available by these systems to provide for previously unforeseen functionalities. Making use of rich clients and allowing users to establish social networks are some of the features that need to be considered when developing Web 2.0 applications. Semantic Web (also known as Web 3.0) technologies (e.g., RDF(S), OWL, etc.) can help in the representation and processing of the different WIS design models aiming for an improved interoperability. One example of such a model is the user profile which is often described using a CC/PP vocabulary. Due to their focus on distribution over the Web, Semantic Web representation languages prove to be useful also for specifying the semantics of data and the semantics of interfaces in order to facilitate the integration of heterogeneous databases and Web services, respectively. The best practice recommendation of Linked Data allows Web applications to seamlessly publish, interconnect, and access information on the Semantic Web. The inference mechanisms of the Semantic Web (captured in the semantics of the representation language or in rule-based languages like RuleML and SWRL) can be used for deriving new information or building intelligent services on the Web. Over the last few years, Web services have offered new opportunities to deploy WIS. Web services are independent from specific platforms and computing paradigms, and have the capacity to form composed processes, referred to as composite Web services. Web services composition fulfils user requests that require the participation of several component Web services. Several composition languages are now available (e.g., BPEL, WSFL, etc.). Semantic descriptions of Web services are also proposed for automating composition (e.g., OWL-S, WSMO, WSDL-S, etc.). A research topic that is worth pursuing is the modeling of these composite Web services. Goal of the Workshop -------------------- The aim of the workshop is to provide a platform for bringing together researchers, practitioners, designers, and users of WIS and discuss how specific issues of Web Information Systems (WIS) design can be addressed by means of modeling. Specifically, we will discuss how the influence of Semantic Web technology can help in a model-driven WIS development. Thus, the workshop should enable a fruitful exchange of ideas in the state-of-the-art of WIS modeling. Topics of Interest ------------------ The workshop topics include but are not limited to: * Methodologies for WIS Design * WIS Architectures * WIS Adaptability * WIS Personalization * WIS Evolution * Semistructured Data in WIS * Data Models in WIS * Query Languages in WIS * Integration of WIS * Optimization Techniques for WIS * Security in WIS * Business Rules in WIS * Web Services in WIS * WIS Ubiquity * Social WIS * Rich Client WIS * Web Metadata in WIS * Ontologies in WIS * Linked Data in WIS * Semantic Web Information Systems Paper Submission ---------------- Prospective workshop participants are invited to submit a paper related to one (or more) of the workshop topics. The page limit for workshop papers is 10 pages. Papers should be formatted according to Springer LNCS style http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. The organizers will oversee a peer-review process for the submitted papers. Manuscripts not submitted in the LNCS style or having more than 10 pages will not be reviewed and thus automatically rejected. The papers need to be original and not submitted or accepted for publication in any other workshop, conference, or journal. Papers should be submitted to wism2012(a)ese.eur.nl in PDF format. Publication ----------- Workshop proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS series as the official ER workshop proceedings.
