-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Last Mile! CfP AMCIS2014 - Minitrack Cloud Operations and Very Large Business Applications (VLBA) Datum: Fri, 28 Feb 2014 09:17:42 +0100 Von: Holger Schrödl <holger.schroedl(a)ovgu.de> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ### Apologies for cross-postings ### ================================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS 20th Americas Conference on Information Systems Savannah, Georgia, August 07-10, 2014 Track: Enterprise systems (SIGEntSys) Minitrack: Cloud Operations and Very Large Business Applications (VLBA) Instructions for authors at: AMCIS website(http://amcis2014.aisnet.org/) ================================================================ DESCRIPTION Emerging technologies like mash-ups, web 2.0 and cloud computing on the one side and the increasing agility of business models on the other side raises the question how Enterprise Systems will look like in the future. Therefore, we see a new class of Enterprise Systems which address the need for more agility in the entire value chain with a loosely coupled system of distinct elements, orchestrated to a highly integrated, complex Information System (Very Large Business Applications, VLBA). VLBA act as enabler for intra- and interorganisational business processes and play a significant role in the development of new business models. This Mini-Track aims at studying, grounding, and finally exploiting the potential of VLBA to solve integration and coordination problems in distributed business processes as a key enabler of flexible boundaryless information systems. Key research questions are: -how to represent VLBA in service-based information systems by employing and adapting constructs, models, and methods of different information systems technology stacks, -how to coordinate software services by employing and adapting approaches for service discovery and composition, -how to operate large-scale, highly distributed enterprise systems aligned with the needs of an agile business environment, -how to negotiate and agree upon the delivery of software-based services (SLA), -how to control the delivery of software-based services in VLBA by measuring efficiency and effectiveness? This minitrack is continuing the successful start of the scientific discuss on the topic of VLBA in an international perspective from AMCIS 2012 and AMCIS 2013. SUGGESTED TOPICS Topics relevant for this mini-track include, but are not limited to, the following: -Cloud Computing and VLBA -VLBA Operations Management -Strategic, tactic and operative Systems Landscape Engineering -VLBA Business Simulations -VLBA Business Models -Analytical Business Process Engineering for VLBA -VLBA and Knowledge Management -VLBA security issues -Innovative VLBA Applications We invite contributions from different disciplines including information systems, information management, computer and management science to properly cover all facets of Very Large Business Applications. We encourage papers applying quantitative and qualitative, empirical and theoretical research methodologies such as case studies, action research, surveys, experiments, and design science.

For more information including submission, visit: http://amcis2014.aisnet.org *Description* With the trends of globalization and IT as a utility available over the Internet continuing to grow unabated, various types of sourcing models have begun to emerge. As a prominent example, cloud computing offers various sourcing arrangements through the Internet delivery of IT products and services, providing firms an opportunity to gain access to and deliver applications, infrastructures, and platforms over public or private networks. Specifically, to tap innovation and growth opportunities, firms are transitioning to an on-demand model of IT sourcing enabled by cloud computing to create increased flexibility and enhance their ability to scale. These emerging alternatives create challenges for both service provider and recipient organizations as they have to take into account a number of new additional considerations, such as variable hardware capacity needs and multiple and varying user application preferences, to be able to successfully leverage these new sourcing alternatives and manage their new sourcing relationships with their partners. While the development of IT outsourcing and cloud computing happened independently, they have become intricately intertwined and should be considered as a set of viable sourcing options while formulating and executing IT sourcing strategy. We invite papers that provide insights into all aspects of IT sourcing and various IT sourcing models over the network such as cloud computing and SaaS. In particular, we are also interested in papers that tie the developments of these sourcing models to broader IT strategy issues in firms. Papers that include empirical, analytical, and conceptual approaches that develop or extend theory are welcome. Co-authored papers with practitioners are particularly encouraged. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: .Decision making in IT sourcing alternatives .Cloud computing and SaaS as IT sourcing strategy .Commercial sourcing models associated with cloud services and SaaS .Coordination and control in IT outsourcing and network-based IT sourcing arrangements .Change in client role in emerging sourcing models with cloud computing .Relationship management with cloud and SaaS partners .Contracting issues in traditional IT sourcing vs. sourcing models with cloud computing and SaaS .Structuring IT outsourcing contracts and service level agreements .Security issues in IT sourcing over the network such as cloud computing and SaaS .Risk management in network-based IT sourcing projects .Service disruption and recovery .IT outsourcing in global supply chain management .IT outsourcing in healthcare, and healthcare information exchange (HIE) .IT outsourcing-enabled business transformation and new inter-organizational forms .Switching issues in cloud computing based IT sourcing from the tradition .Managing and monitoring suppliers in sourcing arrangements through the Internet delivery of IT products and services .Managing intellectual property issues in sourcing relationships .Social, ethical, and regulatory implications in IT outsourcing .Knowledge creation, acquisition, sharing, and loss in IT outsourcing .Preserving and managing organizational knowledge in outsourcing arrangements .Impact of outsourcing at the individual, firm, and national levels, both from a provider and a buyer perspective .Emerging trends in IT outsourcing .Challenges facing vendors as they adapt to sourcing models with cloud computing, including but not limited to: oCapabilities Required oPricing and contracts oNew service development oService customization oService supply chain management ** *Mini$B!>(Btrack Co-Chairs:* Matthew Swinarski Penn State Erie mes35(a)psu.edu <mailto:mes35@psu.edu> 814.898.6439 Jahyun Goo Florida Atlantic University jgoo(a)fau.edu <mailto:jgoo@fau.edu> 561.297.2352 =========================================================== Jahyun Goo, Ph.D. College of Business/Florida Atlantic University 777 Glades Road/Fleming Hall 218 Boca Raton, FL 33431 Voice: (561) 297-2352 / Fax: (561) 297-3043 Email: jgoo(a)fau.edu <mailto:jgoo@fau.edu>

BPMDS is officially linked on an ongoing basis to the CAiSE conference series, since 2011. http://delab.csd.auth.gr/caise2014/ - International Federation for Information Processing Working Group 8.1 (IFIP WG 8.1) https://research.idi.ntnu.no/ifip-wg81/ . Sponsor since 2009. ABOUT THE BPMDS CONFERENCE: -------------------------- The topics addressed by the BPMDS series are focused on business processes and their IT support. This is one of the keystones of information systems theory beyond short-lived fashions. The continued interest in this topic on behalf of the IS community is reflected by the success of the past BPMDS events, and their promotion from a workshop to a working conference. The BPMDS series has produced fourteen events from 1998 to 2013. From 2011, BPMDS has become a two-day working conference attached to CAiSE (Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering). The basic principles of the BPMDS series: 1. BPMDS serves as a meeting place for researchers and practitioners in the areas of business development, and business applications (software) development 2. The aim of the event is mainly discussions, rather than presentations. 3. Each event has a theme that is mandatory for idea papers. 4. Each event's results are, usually, published in a special issue of an international journal. The goals, format, and history of BPMDS can be found on the web site: http://www.bpmds.org/history BACKGROUND AND AIMS: ------------------- BPMDS solicits papers related to Business Process Modeling, Development and Support (BPMDS) in general, using quality as a main selection criterion. As a working conference, we would like to attract papers describing mature research, but we still give place to industrial reports and visionary idea papers. To encourage new and emerging challenges and research directions in the area of business process modeling, development and support, we have a unique focus theme every year. Papers submitted as idea papers will be required to be of relevance to the focus theme, thus providing a mass of new ideas around a relatively narrow but emerging research area. Full research papers and experience reports are not required to be directly connected to this theme (they still need to be explicitly relevant to BPMDS though). The focus theme for BPMDS'14 idea papers is *The human perspective in Business Processes *** The human perspective is of essence since it is humans who drive business processes rather than computers. This perspective plays a major role in all phases of Business Process Modeling, Design and Support. The human perspective in business process modeling relates to the individual who creates a process model, to the communication among people that is facilitated by the business process model during and after the modeling process, and to the social process of collaborative modeling. The human perspective in business process design relates to the kind of interaction / collaboration / coordination / cooperation that should to be implemented in the business process or to specific human-related aspects of the business process itself and their representations in models. Human perspective in business process support relates to all social aspects of the business process and its management in an organization. We invite the visionaries (from research and industry) to exploit this theme and submit idea papers that deal with specific human aspects of business processes. We also welcome research papers that include ideas on how theoretical results discussed can be used in practice, as well as experience reports on using theories in practice. TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION: ---------------------- Topics of interest include but are not limited to: *Business Process Modeling* - Business process modeling languages, notations and methods - Multi-perspectives on business process modeling - Representations of humans in business process models (expertise, skills, preferences, intentions, emotionsâ?¦) - Actor-driven (vs activity driven) representations of business processes - Coherence among multi-perspective representations - Theoretical foundations for analyzing, modeling business processes - Verification and validation of business process models - Variability and adaptability of business process models - Dynamic configuration; modeling by reuse - Granularity, development of reusable and context-aware components; modeling for reuse - Domain specific reference models - Business process modeling enhanced by social software and social networks *Business Process Support* - Business process change management and governance issues - Theoretical foundations for simulating or executing business processes - Business process support architectures and platforms - Business process support based on a service-oriented architecture - Business process support combined with social software and social networks - Work allocation in business processes - Actor support vs control support in business processes - Enhancing creativity in business processes - Mobile technologies and context aware business processes - Business processes using cloud-services *Requirements on Business Processes* - Human-centric business processes - Compliance, reliability, security, performance - Flexibility, variability, adaptability - Metrics, maturity and continuous improvement - Human resource management in business processes - User-oriented aspects - Strategy, business processes, people and IT: alignment, fit and coherence - Knowledge-intensive business processes - Context aware business processes - Cross-organizational business processes - Data-intensive business processes - BPMDS in the cloud SUBMISSIONS: ----------- Prospective conference participants are invited to submit a paper that concerns business process modeling and development, and/or business process support (development of software dedicated to business processes). We solicit the papers (both research papers and experience reports) that contain results worth of discussion. For full research papers, it means that reported research should be in an advance stage and a paper includes results and at least partial evaluation. Thus three kinds of submissions are possible: (1) Full research papers. (2) Experience reports, which should follow guidelines in http://www.bpmds.org/guidelines. (3) Idea papers related to the focus theme, devoted to completely new research positions or approaches, in order to face to a generic situation that arises because of, for instance, new methods and tools or new types of emerging challenges; the compliance to the focus theme is mandatory for idea papers, which should describe precisely the situation and demonstrate the shortcomings of current methods, tools, ways of reasoning, meta-models, etc. Papers of all submission types should be of up to 15 pages. Please follow the LNCS format instructions at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for all of them. Papers should be submitted in Adobe PDF format. The results described must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. The papers should be submitted through the conference management system available at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmds2014 . PUBLICATIONS: ------------ The conference proceedings will be published in a Springer LNBIP volume (joint with EMMSAD), "Enterprise, Business-Process and Information Systems Modelingâ??, as the five previous years (LNBIP 29, LNBIP 50, LNBIP 81, LNBIP 113, LNBIP 147).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] eChallenges e-2014 - CfP Application Tools and Technology for Conceptual Modelling and Semantic - 31.03.2014 Datum: Tue, 25 Feb 2014 12:25:12 +0100 Von: Vedran Hrgovcic <Vedran.Hrgovcic(a)boc-eu.com> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to submit extended abstracts for the Workshop Application Tools and Technology for Conceptual Modelling and Semantic at the eChallenges e2014 by 31 March 2014. Supported by the European Commission, the 24th annual eChallenges e-2014 Conference & Exhibition takes place in Belfast, Northern Ireland from 29 - 31 October. Focused on Applied ICT addressing major Societal Challenges, and showcasing strategic keynote presentations, technical and policy papers, case studies and workshops, eChallenges brings together senior representatives from leading commercial, government and research organisations around the world to share knowledge and experience, lessons learnt, good practice and innovation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Workshop: Application Tools and Technologies for Conceptual Modelling and Semantic ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Concept Modelling is commodity in e-sciences, domain applications and ICT and hence a cross-domain aspect. Domain specific modelling is an emerging topic in ICT and can be observed by a growing number of groups emphasizing the development of individual languages, methods and approaches for the specific benefit of a particular domain. Domain orientation allows implementing special model-driven solutions for domain experts, without the need to make compromises in the concepts, the method or the tools in use. This leads to a plethora of different concepts, approaches, platforms and modelling intentions. The challenge is to use modelling tools not only to deal with different purposes in complex and heterogeneous application environments but also to translate the conceptual world into a software that provides enough technical flexibility, user acceptance and appropriate application interfaces. Hence the workshop targets very openly all modelling applications, tools and technologies that have been developed or are used in application domains to provide some samples - but not limited to: (a) semantics, knowledge models and technologies for intelligent content; (b) business processes, governmental and policy modelling in eGovernment, eParticipation and eDemocracy; (c) learner models, training course design and course evaluation for technology enhanced learning; (d) model driven architecture, workflow orchestration as well as service discovery and deployment for cloud computing; (e) domain-specific models, semantic and knowledge platforms for eHealth, digital libraries and cultural heritage, Future Internet or any applicable domain. Technical surveys, novel technical solutions, prototypes or products have been implemented, adapted, configured or used in a vast amount of research projects and initiatives, ranging from Software Design and Workflow Management tools, ontology management system, rule inference engines, configuration platforms, business process management tools or platforms to design and monitor key performance indicators. This workshop aims to discuss a wide variety of modelling applications, tools and platforms and hence invites research projects, research initiatives and researches to present their ideas, prototypes, tools and platforms and present the challenges and requirements for the development, configuration and deployment of modelling tools into concrete application scenarios. The aim is to strengthen the European community of research dealing with modelling to enable the collaboration across projects and ensure sustainability of research results. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers for the Workshop "Application Tools and Technology for Conceptual Modelling and Semantic ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are now inviting extended abstracts (1,200 - 1,500 words) for technical papers, visionary papers, business and government case studies. Proposals to arrange 90 minute thematically focused workshop sessions are also welcome. Related themes and suggestions for papers and sessions are outlined in the Call for Papers http://www.echallenges.org/e2014/default.asp?page=c4p Important Deadlines Submission deadline for Extended Abstracts: 31 March 2014 Acceptance decision: 30 April Submission of full paper: 30 May The scientific programme for eChallenges e-2014 is based on an open Call for Papers and the conference language is English. All extended abstracts including the one for the workshop "Application Tools and Technology for Conceptual Modelling and Semantic (http://www.echallenges.org/e2014/default.asp?page=submission) must be submitted online by 31 March for double blind peer review by the International Programme Committee. Papers should focus on a research or eAdoption topic on which a case study, initial or final results can be published. General project descriptions are not appropriate. All papers must highlight the level of innovation and actual or expected impact. Please bear in mind that the extended abstracts submitted are double blind peer reviewed so they should not provide contact details within the text of the extended abstract submitted. All extended abstracts are submitted as text via a form - tables and diagrams can be submitted as part of the full paper submission in April. Extended abstracts should provide a good overview of your full paper and cover the following headings: - Address in the title of the paper that it is a workshop paper "Application Tools and Technology for Conceptual Modelling and Semantics" - Introduction - Issues to be addressed - Objectives of your paper - Methodology Used - Technology or Business Case Description - Conclusions and Summary Recommendations -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Core Thematic Priorities for eChallenges e-2014 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Applied ICT addressing Societal Challenges - ICT-related Entrepreneurship and Innovation - eHealth and mHealth - eGovernment, eParticipation & eDemocracy - eInclusion - ICT4D - Digital Libraries and Cultural Heritage - Technology Enhanced Learning and ICT Skills - Intelligent Content and Semantics - Societal Implications of Technology Emerging Technologies & Infrastructures - Future Internet & Smart Cities - eInfrastructures & Smart Grid - Collaborative Open Innovation and Living Labs - Cloud Computing - Mobile Applications - Security and Identity Management More information is available at http://www.echallenges.org/e2014/default.asp?page=themes We look forward to receiving your extended abstracts and workshop submissions by 31 March.
