-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP BPMDS’18 Working Conference 11-12 June 2018, Tallinn, Estonia Datum: Mon, 29 Jan 2018 07:50:55 +0100 Von: rainer.schmidt(a)hm.edu Antwort an: rainer.schmidt(a)hm.edu An: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Business Process Modeling, Development, and Support the 19th edition of the BPMDS series, in conjunction with CAiSE’18 BPMDS’18 Working Conference 11-12 June 2018, Tallinn, Estonia http://www.bpmds.org Sponsored by IFIP WG8.1 (International Federation for Information Processing Working Group 8.1) BPMDS solicits papers related to Business Process Modeling, Development and Support (BPMDS) using quality, relevance, originality and applicability as main selection criteria. As a working conference, BPMDS’18 seeks to attract full research papers describing mature research, experience reports related to using BPMDS in practice, and visionary idea papers. Practitioners are also encouraged to present lessons learned from practice. Papers submitted in the category idea papers will be required to be of relevance to the focus theme. The focus theme for BPMDS'18 idea papers is: Ecosystem-aware Business Process Modeling, Development and Support Today, successful business process modeling, development and support have to be aware of their ecosystem context. Business process modeling has to capture as many external contributions as possible, to integrate all stakeholders and to identify best practice knowledge. Coupling business process modeling with social software helps to capture these contributions. Business models such as multi-sided platforms are based on processes spanning over multiple organizations. The design of business processes integrates external resources as part of virtual organizations and outsourcing relationships. Decisions in business processes are based on advanced analytics and artificial intelligence using a multitude of data sources that are increasingly coming from outside of organizations. Also, the support of business processes is using external resources increasingly. Technologies such as blockchains externalize the business process support more and more. 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 research papers, experience reports, and lessons learned from practice that contain results worth of discussion. Full research papers should report research in an advanced stage, including results and at least partial evaluation. Thus four categories of submissions are welcome: (1) Full research papers (could be technical papers or empirical evaluation papers). (2) Experience reports should follow guidelines in http://www.bpmds.org/guidelines. (3) Idea papers related to the focus theme “Open Business Process Modeling, Development and Support” should address completely new research positions or approaches. They should describe precisely the situation and demonstrate the shortcomings of current methods, tools, ways of reasoning, meta-models, etc. (4) Lessons learned from practice. We welcome all practitioners to share with BPMDS participants and followers their own experience in the topics (see below) related to the BPMDS conference. This category of short papers with up to 8 pages follow the guidelines suggested for the category (2). Conformity with LNCS guidelines is not mandatory for this category. The accepted propositions will be presented during the BPMDS’18 industrial track and will be published on the BPMDS web site. Papers of the first three 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. Please submit through the conference management system available at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmds18 Important dates Paper abstracts February 25th Submission deadline March 1st Notification of acceptance March 23th Camera-ready papers due April 5st 2018 Submission topics Ecosystem-aware BPMDS * Which external factors influence the modeling of business processes and how? * How can the design of business processes take into account their ecoystem? * Which ways of business process support are predetermined by the context, e.g. blockchain ? * How does the extended organizational context, e.g. virtual organizations and teams, influence the modeling design and support of business processes ?

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 eighteen events from 1998 to 2017. 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 are: 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 Publications The conference proceedings will be published in a Springer LNBIP volume (joint with EMMSAD), "Enterprise, Business-Process and Information Systems Modeling”, as the nine previous years (LNBIP volumes 29, 50, 81, 113, 147, 175, 214, 248, 287). Contributing authors may find all relevant information at http://www.springer.com/series/7911 . After the BPMDS’18 conference, extended versions of the accepted papers will be considered for publishing in a special issue of an international journal. The previous special issues are: BPMDS'17 in SoSyM launched; BPMDS'16 in SoSyM in progress; BPMDS'15 in SoSyM, papers online; BPMDS'14 in SoSyM, vol. 16, issue 3, July 2017; BPMDS'13 in SoSyM, vol. 15, issue 2, May 2016; BPMDS'12 in SoSyM, vol. 14, issue 3, July 2015; BPMDS’11 in IJISMD, vol. 4, issue 2, 2013; BPMDS’10 selected paper in REJ, vol. 17, issue 2, 2012; BPMDS’09 in IJISMD, vol. 2, issue 2, 2011; BPMDS’08 in JSME vol. 24, issue 3, 2012; BPMDS'07 in IJBPIM, vol. 4, issue 2, 2009; BPMDS'06 in IJBPIM, vol. 3, issue 1, 2008; BPMDS'05 in SPIP, vol. 12, issue 1, 2007; BPMDS'04 in SPIP vol. 10, issue 4, 2005 & REJ vol. 10, issue 3, 2005, BPMDS'02 in BPMJ, vol. 11, issue 6, 2005.

Fwd: [AISWorld] BPM 2018 - Call for Papers
by Gustaf Neumann 26 Jan '18

26 Jan '18

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] BPM 2018 - Call for Papers Datum: Fri, 26 Jan 2018 09:55:49 +0100 Von: Cinzia Cappiello <cinzia.cappiello(a)polimi.it> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org --------------------------- BPM 2018 - 16th International Conference on Business Process Management Call for Papers September 9-14, 2018, Sydney, Australia http://bpm2018.web.cse.unsw.edu.au/ <http://bpm2018.web.cse.unsw.edu.au/> --------------------------- The annual BPM conference is the premium forum for researchers and practitioners in business process management. BPM is a broad discipline, covering topics that range from formal methods in computer science to techniques in information systems engineering, to management science methods. Therefore, not only different research topics are addressed, but also different research methods are employed that require different evaluation criteria in the peer reviewing process. To accommodate for this diversity, the BPM conference introduces a new structure. This structure is based on three tracks that cover not only different phenomena of interest and research methods but, consequently, also different evaluation criteria. To implement this structure, each track has a dedicated track chair and a dedicated program committee. The track chairs, together with a consolidation chair, are responsible for the scientific program. Through this new structure we aim to broaden the BPM community and position the BPM conference as a forum for all aspects of the broad business process management discipline. TRACK I: FOUNDATIONS Track I invites papers that follow computer science research methods. This includes papers that investigate the underlying principles of BPM systems, computational theories, algorithms, and methods for modeling and analyzing business processes. This track also covers papers on novel languages, architectures, and other concepts underlying process aware information systems, as well as papers that use conceptual modeling techniques to investigate problems in the design and analysis of BPM systems. Papers in Track I are evaluated according to computer science standards, including sound formalization, convincing argumentation, and, where applicable, proof of concept implementation, which shows that the concepts can be implemented as described. Since papers typically do not have an immediate application in concrete business environments, empirical evaluation does not play a major role in Track I. You should send your paper to Track I if: - It provides foundational results about the underlying principles and concepts of BPM systems. - It advances the state of the art in BPM through the investigation of formal methods and algorithms. - It contributes to the definition of novel concepts, languages, and architectures for BPM systems. - It tackles conceptual modelling issues of BPM systems and their environment. - It investigates novel concepts of BPM systems through the development of proof-of-concept implementations. Track Chair: Marco Montali Senior PC: Florian Daniel, Dirk Fahland, Giancarlo Guizzardi, Thomas Hildebrandt, Marcello La Rosa, John Mylopoulos, Manfred Reichert, Jianwen Su, Hagen Völzer, Matthias Weidlich. TRACK II: ENGINEERING Track II invites papers that follow information systems engineering methods. The focus is on the investigation of artifacts and systems in business environments, following the design science approach. Papers in this track are expected to have a strong empirical evaluation that critically tests criteria like usefulness or added value of the proposed artifact. This track covers business process intelligence, including process mining techniques, and the use of process models for enactment, model-driven engineering, as well as interaction with services and deployment architectures like the Cloud. It also covers BPM systems in particular domains, such as digital health, smart mobility, or Internet of Things. Empirical evaluations are important to show the merits of the artifact introduced. A self-critical discussion of threats to validity is expected. Formalization of problems and solutions should be used where they add clarity or are beneficial in other ways. You should send your paper to Track II if: - It has a significant technical contribution. - Its results are empirically evaluated. - It reports on a system that you designed, with a maturity of at least a prototype. i.e., it can be evaluated in an application context. - It follows the design science approach. Track Chair: Ingo Weber Senior PC: Wil van der Aalst, Boualem Benatallah, Boudewijn van Dongen, Jan Mendling, Cesare Pautasso, Hajo Reijers, Stefanie Rinderle-Ma, Pnina Soffer, Barbara Weber, Jianmin Wang TRACK III: MANAGEMENT Track III invites papers that aim at advancing our understanding of how BPM can deliver business value, for instance how it builds organizational capabilities to improve, innovate or transform the respective business. Papers that study the application and impact of BPM methods and tools in use contexts based on empirical observation are highly welcome. Areas of interest include a wide range of capability areas that are relevant for BPM, such as strategic alignment, governance, methods, information technology, and human aspects including people and culture. We seek contributions that advance our understanding on how organizations can develop such capabilities in order to achieve specific objectives in given organizational contexts. Papers may use various strategies of inquiry, including case study research, action research, focus group research, big data analytics research, neuroscience research, econometric research, literature review research, survey research or design science research. Papers will be evaluated according to management and information systems standards. Authors of selected papers in this track will be invited to submit revised and extended versions of their work for a special issue in the European Journal of Information Systems (EJIS) on “Business Process Management and Digital Innovation”. You should send your paper to Track III if: - It makes a contribution to an organizational challenge. - It builds on and draws from real-world organizational endeavors in BPM. - It extends the BPM body of knowledge to better contribute to strategy delivery. - It advances our understanding and methodology of BPM to support digital innovation. - It contributes to solving grand societal challenges through BPM. Track Chair: Jan vom Brocke Senior PC: Jörg Becker, Alan Brown, Mikael Lind, Peter Loos, Amy van Looy, Olivera Marjanovic, Jan Recker, Maximilian Röglinger, Michael Rosemann, Theresa Schmiedel, Peter Trkman SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Each paper will be submitted to exactly one track. Please use the track descriptions above to decide where to send your paper. Authors may contact track chairs for clarification. Papers must be formatted according to Springer's LNCS formatting guidelines. Submissions must be in English and must not exceed 16 pages. The title page must contain a short abstract clarifying the relation of the paper with the topics above. The paper must clearly state the problem being addressed, the goal of the work, the results achieved, and the relation to other work. Student papers are treated as regular papers in the review process. Importantly, the contribution underlying a student paper must be carried out mainly by the student(s), but others (advisors, collaborators, etc.) can appear as authors as well. When submitting the paper, student papers must be clearly marked as such in the EasyChair system. To be eligible for the best student paper award, student papers have to be presented at the conference by a student author. Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format via the BPM 2018 EasyChair submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpm2018 <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpm2018>. Submissions must be original contributions that have neither been published previously nor submitted to other conferences or journals while being submitted to BPM 2018. Authors are encouraged to adhere to the best practices of Reproducible Research (RR), by making available data and software tools for reproducing the results reported in their papers. Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. For each accepted paper, at least one author must register for the conference and present the paper. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version to special issues in Elsevier’s Information Systems (Tracks I and II) and in Palgrave’s European Journal of Information Systems (Track III). The BPM Forum will host innovative research which has high potential of stimulating discussion at the conference but does not fully meet the quality criteria for the main conference. Those papers will be invited to the BPM Forum and published in full length in a separate post-proceedings volume in the Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing series, as well as being presented during the main conference. There will not be short papers at the conference. First-time submitters to BPM may request to be considered for a pre-submission shepherding program in which a selected BPM PC member advises on the presentation and positioning of a shepherded paper. Interested candidates are encouraged to contact the PC Chairs (bpm2018(a)easychair.org <mailto:bpm2018@easychair.org>) by 23 January, 2018. PC CHAIRS Marco Montali (Track Chair, Track I) Ingo Weber (Track Chair, Track II) Jan vom Brocke (Track Chair, Track III) Mathias Weske (Consolidation Chair) KEY DATES Abstract submission: 5 March, 2018 Full papers submission: 12 March, 2018 Notifications: 14 May, 2018 Camera ready papers: 11 June, 2018 Remark: Deadlines correspond to anywhere on earth (‘AoE’ or ‘UTC-12′) _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

They help keep transport links open, keep electricity flowing and enable emergency response to extreme weather events. The Unified Model is a key component in the Met Office's ability to generate hundreds of forecasts every day to tight operational timescale. It is constantly being improved with more accurate and computationally expensive physics. OpenMP has been an important tool in meeting the scalability challenge this has presented. This presentation will describe the Unified Model's journey with OpenMP. This has taken it from an enabler of hyperthreads, through I/O acceleration to being a fully-fledged part of the model's parallelism strategy. The lessons learned during this process will be shared, along with some recent experiences with tasking to mitigate MPI load imbalance. - Invited Talk: *OpenMP Gotchas* by Dr Mark Bull, Architect (Research and Training), EPCC - Invited Talk: *OpenMP 4.5 Performance Portability* by Simon McIntosh-Smith, Prof. in High Performance Computing, University of Bristol Conference Dinner There will be a conference dinner on the evening of Monday 21st May. ------------------------------ Program Committee - Conference Chair: Simon McIntosh-Smith, Prof. in High Performance Computing, University of Bristol - Program Co-Chair: Dr Mark Bull, Architect (Research and Training), EPCC Program Co-Chair: - Jim Cownie, Principal Engineer, Intel Corporation (UK) Ltd. - Founder, Local Organiser & Marketing Chair: Tim Lewis, Croftedge Marketing Limited ------------------------------ Proceedings All the presentations, tutorials and posters presented at the meeting will be collated into a set of electronic proceedings and made available on-line.

Although the benefits of cloud computing are tremendous, security and privacy concerns have still a detrimental impact on the adoption and acceptability of cloud services. In fact, users as well as companies that rely on cloud storage and computation services lose the direct control over the systems managing their data and applications, thus putting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the data at risk. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners who are interested in discussing the security, privacy, and data protection issues emerging in cloud scenarios, and possible solutions to them. SPC 2018 is the fourth workshop in this series and will be held in Beijing, China, on May 30-June 1, in conjunction with the IEEE Conference on Communications and Network Security (IEEE CNS 2018). The workshop seeks submissions from academia, industry, and government presenting novel research, as well as experimental studies, on all theoretical and practical aspects of security, privacy, and data protection in cloud scenarios. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Anonymity in cloud scenarios - Applied cryptography in cloud scenarios - Cloud-based biometric systems - Data and application security - Data and system integrity - Data availability in outsourcing scenarios - Data protection - Efficient access to outsourced data - Key management in cloud scenarios - Privacy - Privacy of accesses - Secure computation over encrypted data - Security and trust metrics - Security and privacy in crowdsourcing - Security and privacy in multi-clouds and federated clouds - Security and privacy in data outsourcing - Security and privacy in the Internet of Things - Security and privacy of big data - Security and privacy of distributed computations - Security and privacy of fog computing - Security and privacy policies - Selective information sharing - Threats, vulnerabilities, and risk management PAPER SUBMISSIONS Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Submissions should be at most 9 pages in the IEEE 8,5"x11" two-column format. Submissions should not be anonymized. The workshop will also consider short submissions of up to 4 pages for results that are preliminary or that simply require few pages. Papers should be submitted for review through EDAS (http://edas.info/N24475). Only PDF files will be accepted. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Papers must be received by the deadline of March 5, 2018 (11:59 p.m. American Samoa time). Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be presented at the workshop. Accepted and presented papers will be included in the IEEE CNS 2018 conference proceedings and also in IEEE Xplore as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases. IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission due: March 5, 2018 Notification to authors: March 26, 2018 Camera ready due: April 2, 2018 PC CHAIR Sara Foresti, Universita' degli Studi di Milano, Italy PUBLICITY CHAIR Giovanni Livraga, Universita' degli Studi di Milano, Italy PROGRAM COMMITTEE To be announced If you have any question, please contact the organizers at spc2018(a)di.unimi.it _______________________________________________ computational.science mailing list computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org https://lists.iccsa.org/mailman/listinfo/computational.science Hosted by Sardina Systems: FishOS: AI-powered OpenStack www.sardinasystems.com

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP - AMCIS mini-track - The Controversial Information Technologies [SIGADIT] Datum: Wed, 24 Jan 2018 21:38:01 -0500 Von: Isaac Vaghefi <svaghefi(a)binghamton.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org AMCIS 2018 Aug. 16-18, 2018 New Orleans, LA, USA Track: Adoption and Diffusion of Information Technology (SIGADIT) Mini-track: The Controversial Information Technologies *Description of Mini-track:* Controversial Information Technologies (CIT) such as smartphones, social media, videogames, and cloud computing are perceived as having the potential to both benefit and damage the well-being of the user. On one hand, CIT use can benefit users, organizations, and the society by improving productivity, performance, and satisfaction. On the other hand, CIT use can also result in negative and often unplanned outcomes, rendering them a double-edged sword. CIT includes a wide range of information systems that we use today; some examples include social networking sites that can be both beneficial and harmful for the user, emails that despite their flexibility and connectivity benefits can also be interruptive for the work, and algorithmic and biometrics systems that despite their benefits toward productivity, can be source of concerns given the amount and type of information they collect from users. While nominal IT use have received extensive attention in IS research, CIT adoption, use, and consequences have been largely ignored. This mini-track provides a forum for the exchange of research ideas to shed light on issues related to CIT’s adoption and use, various behaviors users may exhibit when using CIT, and consequences of using CIT for individuals and organizations.

The 2018 Enterprise Engineering Working Conference (EEWC 2018) will be the eighth working conference addressing the emerging field of Enterprise Engineering, having as goal to gather academics and practitioners in order to share innovative research issues and practical experiences, mixing rigour and relevance, and to facilitate profound discussions on the issues put forward in the next sections of this Call for Papers. The proceedings of the working conference will, as always, be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=fU0CBBoFBR1X> (LNBIP). Selected papers will also be invited to a special issue in the Organisational Design & Enterprise Engineering <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=fU0CB1VPBFYfDQ> (ODEE) journal from Springer. Please distribute this Call for Papers among your colleagues, and/or mailing lists you belong to, that may be possibly interested in this conference. * please submit your abstract as soon as possible to facilitate review assignment preparation Motivation for enterprise engineering Modern enterprises face a strong pressure to increase agility and competitiveness, to operate on the global market, and to engage in manifold alliances. However, many strategic initiatives in enterprises fail, meaning that enterprises are unable to gain success from their strategy. One of the identified reasons for such 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. Currently, these challenges are dominantly addressed from a functional or managerial perspective, as advocated by the management and organisational sciences, and as implemented by traditional programs in business schools. Such knowledge is indeed necessary for managing an enterprise, but it is insufficient for bringing about changes in a fully systematic and integrated way. To do that, one needs to take a constructional or engineering perspective. In addition, both organisations and software applications are complex systems, 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. Entropy can be reduced and managed effectively through modular design based on atomic elements. Lastly, the individual persons in an enterprise, in cooperation, are ultimately responsible for the effective and efficient operation of the enterprise. They are also collectively responsible for the evolution of the enterprise, in order to meet new challenges. We believe these responsibilities can be born in a much more effective way if members have an appropriate knowledge and an effective awareness of the enterprise given by a sound engineering approach put forward by a full-fledged scientific discipline. The mission of enterprise engineering The CIAO! Enterprise Engineering Network <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=fU0CB1JPBFYfDQ> is a community of academics and practitioners who strive to contribute to the development of the discipline of Enterprise Engineering (EE), and to apply it in practice. The long term aim is to develop a holistic and general systems theory based understanding on how to (re)design and run enterprises effectively. The ambition is therefore to gather and develop a consistent and coherent set of theories, models and associated methods that: enable enterprises to reflect, in a systematic way, on how to realise improvements; and assist them, in practice, in achieving their aspirations. In doing so, sound empirical and scientific foundations should underlie all efforts and all organisational aspects that are relevant should be considered, while combining already existing knowledge from the scientific fields of information systems, software engineering, management science, organisational sciences, as well as philosophy, semiotics and sociology, amongst others. To this end, the network regularly organises events <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=fU0CB1NPBFYfDQ> such as the Enterprise Engineering Working Conference and associated Doctoral Consortium to drive the promotion and development of the enterprise engineering body of knowledge. A history of rigour, relevance and an open perspective The Enterprise Engineering Working Conference (EEWC) series emerged out of the CIAO! workshop and doctoral consortium held from 2008 until 2010, after which they transitioned into the Enterprise Engineering Working Conference (EEWC). The EEWC regularly featured an industrial track. To institutionalise the interaction between the practice of enterprise engineering, and enterprise transformation in general, it was decided that as of 2017 the TEE series <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=fU0CB1BPBFYfDQ> on Transformation and Engineering of Enterprises will be fully merged into the EEWC series. The TEE series of events (including PRET, WEETM, LABEM, and AppEER) provides a practice-driven perspective on enterprise engineering, featuring papers that take real-world cases of enterprise transformations as a starting point. Merging TEE into the EEWC series aims to enable a tight integration of rigour and relevance. The origin of the scientific foundations of our present body of knowledge is the CIAO! Paradigm (Communication, Information, Action, Organisation) as expressed in our Enterprise Engineering Manifesto <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=fU0CBRoFBR1X> and the paper: The Discipline of Enterprise Engineering <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=fU0LAxoFBR1X>. In this paradigm, organisation is considered to emerge in human communication, through the intermediate roles of information and action. Based on the CIAO! Paradigm, several theories have been developed, and still are being proposed. They are published as technical reports <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=fU0LABoFBR1X>. Considering theories or sets of theories as lenses to see and understand reality we can say that two main lenses have emerged out of the CIAO! network efforts: the Enterprise Ontology theories and the Normalized Systems theory, both with relevant results in practice. Organisations and their enterprises, being socio-technical systems, are the result of a social dialogue among the social individuals that make up the organisation and the two currently identified lenses are, so we certainly expect, not enough. More lenses are needed and the current ones are open to extensions and/or improvements. The CIAO! community has always taken the view that (1) rigour and relevance, and (2) a shared understanding (based on a shared "meta ontology", such as the EE paradigm) is a crucial element in ensuring effective discussions within the community. In adding/extending lenses, new members are expected to underline these qualities as well. In adding/extending lenses, it is expected that the "meta ontology" will evolve/extend based on new, shared, insights. Dedicated Sessions Having in mind the spirit put forward in the previous section, the EEWC aims to expand its community and reach out to other communities to find synergies and cooperate in the development of the EE discipline. To this end, from 2017 onwards the EEWC includes special/dedicated sessions focused on lenses and/or domains as to inspire and facilitate this cooperation effort. Thus, in the EEWC 2018 we plan to give focus to the following domains: * Enterprise Ontology * Normalized Systems * Foundational Ontologies * Enterprise Interoperability * Standards and Policies in sectors/domains: o Smart Cities o Construction o Supply Chain Management * Other EE topics There is one single track in the conference and accepted submissions will be assigned to one of the sessions above. Relevant topics Topics of interest to for the EEWC include, but are not limited to: * Business Process Management * Business Process Improvement * Business Process Modelling and Simulation * Business Rules * Business Rules Management * Collaborative, Participatory, and Interactive Modelling * Domain Ontologies * Domain Reference Ontologies * Enterprise Architecture * Enterprise Design and Implementation * Enterprise Transformations * Enterprise Governance * Enterprise Modelling and Simulation * Enterprise Ontology * Foundational Ontologies * Information System Architectures * Information System Ontologies * Information Systems Design * Information Systems Development * Interactivity Modelling * Modelling (cross-enterprise) Business Processes * Ontology Implementation * Organisational Design * Organisational Structure * Reference Models * Regulatory Compliance * Standards and Policies for Industry Sectors Publications and Conference format The EEWC proceedings will, as always, be published in the Springer LNBIP (Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=fU0CBBoFBR1X>) series. Selected papers will also be invited to a special issue in the Organisational Design & Enterprise Engineering <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=fU0CB1VPBFYfDQ> (ODEE) journal from Springer. We are looking for papers on current or recently finished research initiatives/projects as well as papers from practitioners. Based on our motivating experience of the previous working conferences, the seventh EEWC is planned to be a real working conference, providing ample time for profound discussions following the paper presentations. Therefore, normally 40 minutes slots are planned for each accepted full paper, with a maximum limit of 15 pages. Since the EEWC 2017 we now accept publication (also in the Springer proceedings) and presentation of short papers with a page limit of 9 pages to be adapted from the original submission with page limit of 15 pages. As a result of the merging of the TEE Series <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=fU0CB1BPBFYfDQ> with the EEWC and also to foster community building and more sharing and discussion regarding preliminary research and reporting on practice in our domains, we introduced in 2017 the EEWC Forum where case reports are accepted, as well as posters invited from the submissions to the EEWC not accepted as full or short papers but with interesting contents to discuss. Case reports and posters will be officially be published on CEUR. More information on the EEWC Forum 2018 available at its respective web page <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=fU0CBFNPBFYfDQ>. Submission 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 mentioned above. Three to five keywords characterising the paper should be indicated at the end of the abstract.

We are looking for papers on current or recently finished research initiatives/projects as well as papers from practitioners. Based on our motivating experience of the previous working conferences, the seventh EEWC is planned to be a real working conference, providing ample time for profound discussions following the paper presentations. Therefore, normally 40 minutes slots are planned for each accepted full paper, with a maximum limit of 15 pages. Since the EEWC 2017 we now accept publication (also in the Springer proceedings) and presentation of short papers with a page limit of 9 pages to be adapted from the original submission with page limit of 15 pages. As a result of the merging of the TEE Series <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=YU0CB1BPBFYfCAE> with the EEWC and also to foster community building and more sharing and discussion regarding preliminary research and reporting on practice in our domains, we introduced in 2017 the EEWC Forum where case reports are accepted, as well as posters invited from the submissions to the EEWC not accepted as full or short papers but with interesting contents to discuss. Case reports and posters will be officially be published on CEUR. More information on the EEWC Forum 2018 available at its respective web page <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=YU0CBFNPBFYfCAE> . **Submission** Papers should be submitted in PDF format.
