Fwd: [wkwi] ECSCW 2021 in Zurich: Call for Journal Papers
by Gustaf Neumann 20 Jul '20

20 Jul '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [wkwi] ECSCW 2021 in Zurich: Call for Journal Papers Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2020 18:19:35 +0200 From: Mateusz Dolata <dolata(a)ifi.uzh.ch> Reply-To: Mateusz Dolata <dolata(a)ifi.uzh.ch> To: wkwi(a)listserv.dfn.de The European Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (ECSCW) is an international venue on practice-centred computing and the design of cooperation technologies. It is a series of conferences on computer-supported cooperative work located in Europe that was established in 1989. The 19th edition of ECSCW will take place in Zurich, Switzerland, from 7 to 11 June 2021. This call invites submissions of Journal Papers, the most established category of papers featured in ECSCW. The submissions undergo an integrated, journal-like review and revision process. The accepted articles are published in Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW): The Journal of Collaborative Computing and Work Practices. ECSCW 2021 CALL FOR JOURNAL PAPERS https://ecscw.eusset.eu/2021/papers/ The European Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (ECSCW) invites submissions of original and novel research related to the wide field of CSCW. ECSCW is a single-track conference that contributes to developing an interdisciplinary and global community, supported by EUSSET, the European Society for Socially Embedded Technologies (https://www.eusset.eu/). The conference format facilitates critical discussion across disciplinary and national borders in the field. An overview of earlier ECSCW conferences (and proceedings) is available at https://www.eusset.eu/events/ecscw/. The Conference features a range of submission formats including journal papers, exploratory papers, notes, posters, and demos, as well as various events such as masterclasses, workshops or a doctoral colloquium. The various formats differ in terms of length and the types of contributions they represent. Please see https://ecscw.eusset.eu/2021/submission/ for the full list of submission formats. The data provided below applies to Journal Papers only. Important Dates since April 2020: System open for submissions April 2020 – March 2021: Review, revise & resubmit processes, on a rolling basis 1 April 2021: Acceptance cut-off date for inclusion in ECSCW 2021 Programme. 7-11 June 2021: ECSCW 2021 Conference in Zurich Submissions are handled continuously in accordance with the Journal’s processes. As soon as the submission is made, it enters the review and revision process. Full papers must have a status of “Accept but incomplete” by the 1st of April 2021 to be included in the ECSCW 2021 Programme. Papers accepted after that date will be included in ECSCW 2022 Programme. To submit a full paper, proceed to https://www.editorialmanager.com/cosu and select the following Article Type: ECSCW Contribution. Submission Description We invite journal papers documenting original, rich, and in-depth contributions to CSCW. Authors are encouraged to submit papers that improve and extend the CSCW field. Relevant themes include, but are not limited to: - Empirical investigations of collaborative practices. Findings, guidelines, and/or studies related to communication, collaboration, and social technologies, practices, or use. - System design focusing on solutions to support cooperative work in increasingly complex, networked, and data-driven settings. - Hardware, architectures, infrastructures, interaction design, technical foundations, algorithms, and/or toolkits that enable the building of new social and collaborative systems and experiences. - Methodologies and tools for investigating human practices, e.g., the nature of ethnography and the role of other innovative research approaches in building systems or studying their use, the application of critical design or design fictions to investigate future possibilities. - Critical analysis or theory with clear relevance to study, design, or use of collaborative settings and systems. - Domain-specific social and collaborative applications, including applications to digital civics, grassroots movements, healthcare, transportation, ICT4D, sustainability, education, workplace, accessibility, global collaboration, or other domains. - Analysis of the ethics and policy implications of socio-technical systems, the values that inform them, and the algorithms that shape them. - The changing nature of collaboration and teaming in relation to intelligent machine agents, e.g., human-AI relationships in collaborative practices. - Studies, prototypes, or other investigations that explore interactions across disciplines, distances, languages, generations, and cultures, to help understand how to design in relation to social, temporal, and/or spatial boundaries. - Discussions and extrapolations of work-practices and technologies, which contribute to the core topics of ECSCW. Review and Revision Process Submissions to the journal-track of the ECSCW conference will undergo a fully integrated, continuous review process. The submission and review process will allow authors to develop and refine stronger papers over a longer time period. The review process is single-blind. Each submission is assigned to one of the three ECSCW 2021 Journal Papers Chairs, who is in charge of finding three reviewers, writing a meta-review and making a decision. This decision is transmitted to the Lead Editor of the CSCW Journal in charge of ECSCW contributions, who will transmit the decision to the Editor in Chief of the Journal, and will manage conflicts of interest among the different Journal Papers Chairs if necessary. Authors of the submitted papers will be considered as reviewers for other submissions and may be contacted by the Journal Papers Chairs on this behalf. Authors are encouraged to submit as soon as they have their manuscripts ready. The system is already open for submissions. Early submissions will allow for multiple Revise & Resubmit cycles and will generally result in earlier publication of the accepted manuscript in the Journal. Papers could take approximately three months between submission and results of the first review cycle, and approximately two months in the subsequent review cycles, but the Journal Papers Chairs are working hard to speed the process up. Papers usually go through at least two review rounds. Upon an acceptance notice (status “Accept but incomplete”), the paper will go through production (including proof corrections) and only then will it be published on Springer Online First. To be considered for publication and presentation at ECSCW 2021, papers must reach the status “Accept but incomplete” by the 1st of April 2021. This status differs from a “Minor revisions” recommendation. The former refers to papers which require only minimal formatting amendments, while the latter refers to papers which still require some minor structural or conceptual changes. Early submission makes it more likely to receive reviews in a timely manner and speeds up the process of publication afterwards. If the paper does not reach the “Accept but incomplete” status by the 1st of April 2021, it will automatically be transferred to the batch of submissions for the subsequent ECSCW conference, unless the submission is withdrawn. With this approach, the authors will not have to restart the submission process. All work completed to this point will be considered for the next edition of the conference. This also means that authors may get their papers accepted shortly after the ECSCW 2021 conference. If this happens, the paper will be published as an Online First manuscript as soon as it goes through the production process; the authors will be invited to present their work at ECSCW 2022. Submission Format Paper submissions should be formatted following the CSCW Journal Instructions for Authors available at: https://www.springer.com/journal/10606/submission-guidelines. The length of the paper must correspond to the size of the contribution. We suggest the papers to be between 10000 and 15000 words (including tables and appendices, excluding references). Submission Process Manuscripts must be submitted via https://www.editorialmanager.com/cosu. When submitting, please select “ECSCW Contribution” as the Article Type and follow the submission steps until the final manuscript upload. For any queries, please, do not hesitate to contact the ECSCW 2021 Journal Papers Chairs at papers2021(a)ecscw.eusset.eu <mailto:papers2021@ecscw.eusset.eu> . Publication and Copyright information The accepted articles are published in Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW): The Journal of Collaborative Computing and Work Practices – see https://www.springer.com/journal/10606/ for details. Authors will be asked, upon acceptance of the article, to transfer copyright of the article to the Publisher. This will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information under copyright laws. As soon as a manuscript has been accepted for publication, it will go to production, and when production has finished (including proof corrections), it will be published on Springer Online First, complete with DOI. Additionally, authors will have the option to make their versions of accepted Papers available with open access in the European Society for Embedded Technologies (EUSSET) digital library (http://www.eusset.eu/digital-library), as an edited collection. The EUSSET digital library features all past ECSCW proceedings.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] MODELS 2020 - Call for Tutorials Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2020 18:28:25 +0300 From: Iris Reinhartz-Berger <iris(a)is.haifa.ac.il> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org MODELS 2020 - Call for Tutorials ********************************* Following the tradition of previous conferences, MODELS 2020 will host tutorials as part of its satellite events on October 18 to 20, 2020. Due to the COVID-19 situation, the conference will run fully virtually. Tutorials provide intensive overviews on topics in the area of model-based software and systems engineering ranging from modeling methodologies and research methods through new modeling tools and technologies to thoughts on the past, current, and future development of the modeling discipline. Important Dates **************** Tutorial proposal submission: July 22, 2020 Anywhere on Earth (i.e., UTC-12, hard deadline) Notification: August 21, 2020 Camera ready: August 28, 2020 Tutorials: October 18-20, 2020 Audience ********* Tutorials target an audience of practitioners, researchers (academic and industrial), students, and developers familiar with, and already working with, modeling techniques. The target audience typically has a strong interest in Model-Driven Engineering (MDE), including work on improving and evolving modeling languages (such as UML or DSLs), developing sophisticated MDE tool support, and using MDE to develop / test / reverse / maintain complex systems. Potential attendees may also be interested in how modeling has been applied effectively in specialized domains (e.g., in the automotive industry), and in learning about successful uses of MDE methods in real-world applications. Topics ******* The following themes are examples of what is considered relevant for tutorials: - Modeling techniques for specific domains (e.g., automobile, cyber-physical and hybrid systems, Industry 4.0, Internet of Things …) - Modeling methodologies and model-oriented processes (e.g., for agile modelling or modelling at scale) - AI in modelling (including search*based approaches, machine learning, planning, or flexible modelling) - Presentation of new tools or new versions of old tools (e.g., modeling tools, language workbenches, model transformation languages, model verification tools, model execution tools) - Dissemination of project results from industry-related projects - Teaching of model-driven software development - Research methods in MD* (Model-Driven Development (MDD), Model Driven Engineering (MDE), Model Driven Software Development (MDSD), etc.) - Modeling for re-engineering and legacy evolution - Empirical studies in the context of modeling - User experience in model-based software engineering - Practical experiences of general interest - General topics of interest to young researchers, like presentation skills or research methodologies Tutorials are intended to provide independent instructions on a topic of relevance to the audience described above. Therefore, no sales-oriented presentations will be accepted. Tutorials relating to commercial tools or involving the use of commercial tools may be accepted, but will be subject to closer scrutiny, including possible approval of presentation slides. Potential presenters should keep in mind that there may be quite a varied audience, including novice graduate students, seasoned practitioners, and specialized researchers. Tutorial speakers should be prepared to cope with this diversity. Proposal Contents ****************** All submissions must be in English and adhere to the IEEE formatting instructions (https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.ht…). The submission must include the following information in the indicated order: - Title - Presenters: Name, affiliation, contact information, and short bio. - Authors of the proposal or tutorial material, who are not going to be presenting, may be listed, but must be listed last with a footnote “Author only; will not be presenting”. - Abstract (maximum of 200 words) If accepted, the abstract will be used to advertise the tutorial. Thus, the abstract should clearly highlight the goals of the tutorial and the skills that participants will acquire. - Keywords (at least 5 keywords) - Proposed length (suggestion: up to 1.5-2 hours) - Level of the tutorial: beginner/introduction or advanced Target audience and any prerequisite background required by attendees to be able to follow the tutorial (beyond average modeling skills) - Description of the tutorial and intended outline (maximum of 4 pages) - Novelty of the tutorial - List offerings of similar tutorials at previous editions of the MODELS conference or other conferences, and discuss the differences with respect to the current proposal. - Required infrastructure: Explicitly specify the adaptations and actions you intend to do in order to make the tutorial suitable for a virtual environment. - Sample slides (minimum of 6 slides, maximum of 25 slides) - Supplementary material (optional) Submission Guidelines ********************** Proposals must be submitted electronically in PDF format through EasyChair at https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=models2020tutorials. Review Process *************** The Tutorials Selection Committee will review each submitted proposal to ensure high quality, and select tutorials based on their anticipated benefit for prospective participants and their fit within the tutorial program as a whole. Factors to be considered also include: relevance, timeliness, importance, and audience appeal; effectiveness of teaching methods; and past experience and qualifications of the instructors. The goal will be to provide a diverse set of tutorials that attracts a high level of interest among broad segments of the MODELS participants. Compensation ************* As in previous years, participants will pay a single satellite fee, which will cover both tutorials and workshops. This permits unifying the treatment of workshops and tutorials, and it makes tutorials more attractive to attendees. Under this scheme, tutorial presenters will not receive monetary compensation, and will have to pay their own registration to the satellite events. By submitting a tutorial proposal, the presenter accepts that there will be no compensation for giving the tutorial if accepted and that the registration fees for the instructors have to be funded by the instructors themselves. The benefit to the presenter is the opportunity to extend their sphere of influence to the MODELS community. Selection Committee ******************** - Loli Burgueno, Open University of Catalonia (Spain) & CEA List (France) - Thomas Degueule, Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (The Netherlands) - Juergen Dingel, Queen’s University (Canada) - Esther Guerra, Universidad Autonoma de Madrid (Spain) - Regina Hebig, Chalmers, Gothenburg University (Sweden) - Emilio Insfran, Universitat Politecnica de Val?ncia (Spain) - Vinay Kulkarni, Tata Consultancy Services (India) - Levi Lucio, Fortiss (Germany) - Jan Oliver Ringert, University of Leicester (UK) - Bran Selic, Malina Software Corp.

Each submission is assigned to one of the three ECSCW 2021 Journal Papers Chairs, who is in charge of finding three reviewers, writing a meta-review and making a decision. This decision is transmitted to the Lead Editor of the CSCW Journal in charge of ECSCW contributions, who will transmit the decision to the Editor in Chief of the Journal, and will manage conflicts of interest among the different Journal Papers Chairs if necessary. Authors of the submitted papers will be considered as reviewers for other submissions and may be contacted by the Journal Papers Chairs on this behalf. Authors are encouraged to submit as soon as they have their manuscripts ready. The system is already open for submissions. Early submissions will allow for multiple Revise & Resubmit cycles and will generally result in earlier publication of the accepted manuscript in the Journal. Papers could take approximately three monthsbetween submission and results of the first review cycle, and approximately two monthsin the subsequent review cycles, but the Journal Papers Chairs are working hard to speed the process up. Papers usually go through at least two review rounds. Upon an acceptance notice (status “Accept but incomplete”), the paper will go through production (including proof corrections) and only then will it be published on Springer Online First. To be considered for publication and presentation at ECSCW 2021, papers must reach the status “Accept but incomplete” by the 1st of April 2021. This status differs from a “Minor revisions” recommendation. The former refers to papers which require only minimal formatting amendments, while the latter refers to papers which still require some minor structural or conceptual changes. Early submission makes it more likely to receive reviews in a timely manner and speeds up the process of publication afterwards. If the paper does not reach the “Accept but incomplete”status by the 1st of April 2021, it will automatically be transferred to the batch of submissions for the subsequent ECSCW conference, unless the submission is withdrawn. With this approach, the authors will not have to restart the submission process. All work completed to this point will be considered for the next edition of the conference. This also means that authors may get their papers accepted shortly after the ECSCW 2021 conference. If this happens, the paper will be published as an Online First manuscript as soon as it goes through the production process; the authors will be invited to present their work at ECSCW 2022. Submission Format Paper submissions should be formatted following the CSCW Journal Instructions for Authors available at:https://www.springer.com/journal/10606/submission-guidelines. The length of the paper mustcorrespond to the size of the contribution. We suggest the papers to be between 10000 and 15000 words (including tables and appendices, excluding references). Submission Process Manuscripts must be submitted via https://www.editorialmanager.com/cosu. When submitting, please select “ECSCW Contribution” as the Article Type and follow the submission steps until the final manuscript upload. For any queries, please, do not hesitate to contact the ECSCW 2021 Journal Papers Chairs atpapers2021(a)ecscw.eusset.eu <mailto:papers2021@ecscw.eusset.eu>. Publication and Copyright information The accepted articles are published in Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW): The Journal of Collaborative Computing and Work Practices – see https://www.springer.com/journal/10606/for details. Authors will be asked, upon acceptance of the article, to transfer copyright of the article to the Publisher. This will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information under copyright laws. As soon as a manuscript has been accepted for publication, it will go to production, and when production has finished (including proof corrections), it will be published on Springer Online First, complete with DOI. Additionally, authors will have the option to make their versions of accepted Papers available with open access in the European Society for Embedded Technologies (EUSSET) digital library (http://www.eusset.eu/digital-library <http://www.eusset.eu/digital-library>), as an edited collection. The EUSSET digital library features all past ECSCW proceedings.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [wkwi] CfP WI2021-Track "Digitale Transformation & Geschäftsmodelle" Date: Sun, 19 Jul 2020 09:51:01 +0200 From: Martin Adam <adam(a)ise.tu-darmstadt.de> Reply-To: Martin Adam <adam(a)ise.tu-darmstadt.de> To: wkwi(a)listserv.dfn.de (Bitte entschuldigen Sie eventuelle Mehrfachzustellungen.) *Call for Papers für den WI2021-Track **„**Digitale Transformation & Geschäftsmodelle“* ** 16. Internationale Tagung Wirtschaftsinformatik (WI 2021), 09.-11. März 2021, Universität Duisburg-Essen http://www.wi2021.de *Track Chairs* Daniel Beverungen, Universität Paderborn Christiane Lehrer, Copenhagen Business School Thomas Hess, LMU München Martin Adam, TU Darmstadt *Beschreibung* Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien durchdringen alle Bereiche unserer Gesellschaft. Gegenstände werden durch ihre Erweiterung um Informationstechnik „smart“. Zunehmend größere und verschiedenartige Datenmengen stehen zur Verfügung, um Ereignisse dokumentieren, analysieren und vorhersagen zu können. Neuere Methoden der künstlichen Intelligenz erlauben die Übertragung von Aufgaben, die bisher Menschen vorbehalten waren, an Maschinen und Informationssysteme, schaffen aber auch völlig neue Aufgaben. Derartige Veränderungen können vielfältige Implikationen haben. Kunden und Mitarbeiter können ihr Verhalten ändern. Organisationen überdenken ihre Marktposition, passen ihre Strukturen an und etablieren neue Rollen, wie z.B. die eines Chief Digital Officers. Insbesondere müssen Unternehmen ihre Geschäftsmodelle kritisch prüfen oder parallel neue Geschäftszweige aufbauen, um im Wettbewerb bestehen zu können. Einerseits kann eine erfolgreiche Digitale Transformation unter anderem zu mehr Wirtschaftswachstum führen, andererseits gilt es, nicht intendierten Risiken entgegenzuwirken oder diese zu vermeiden. Dieser Konferenz-Track schafft einen Rahmen für die Präsentation, Diskussion und Entwicklung innovativer Ideen zur Digitalen Transformation aus der Perspektive einzelner Personen, (Arbeits-) gruppen, Organisationen, Netzwerken, Industrien und der Gesellschaft insgesamt. Wir unterstützen dabei ein breites Spektrum erkenntnistheoretischer Positionen und Forschungsmethoden zur Entwicklung neuartiger Theorien und IT-Artefakte. Besonders begrüßen wir Beiträge, die Einsichten in die Wirkungsmechanismen der Digitalen Transformation geben und dabei bestehende Theorien und IT-Artefakte der Wirtschaftsinformatik infrage stellen oder konzeptionell weiterentwickeln. Konkrete Anwendungsfälle disruptiver Veränderungsprozesse in Organisationen sind genauso von Interesse wie empirische Beiträge, die untersuchen, wie sich technologische Entwicklungen auf die Gestaltung von Geschäftsmodellen auswirken. Dabei sind alle Teile eines Geschäftsmodells – Produkt bzw. Dienstleistung, Kundenbeziehung, Ressourcen sowie Kosten- und Erlösmodell – gleichermaßen von Interesse. Zu den adressierten Themen gehören unter anderem: • Digitalisierung von Geschäftsmodellen und Wertangeboten • Theorien und IT-Artefakte für die Digitale Transformation • Organisationsentwicklung für die Digitale Transformation • Zusammenspiel von IT-Artefakten und organisatorischer Veränderung • Gestaltbarkeit, Emergenz und Risiko der Digitalen Transformation • Strategien für die digitale Transformation • Wettbewerbsvorteile durch die Digitale Transformation • Digitale Transformation auf Individualebene • Kulturelle Aspekte und Auswirkungen der Digitalen Transformation *Wichtige Termine* Frist für die Einreichung der Beiträge: 14.08.2020 Frist für die Einreichung der überarbeiteten Beiträge: 16.11.2020 Alle weiteren Informationen zum Track finden Sie unter https://wi2021.de/digitale-transformation-geschaeftsmodelle/ ** *Dr. Martin Adam * *Fachgebiet Wirtschaftsinformatik: Information Systems & E-Services* Fachbereich 1 - Rechts- und Wirtschaftswissenschaften Technische Universität Darmstadt | Hochschulstraße 1 | D-64289 Darmstadt | Germany Tel. +49 (0)157 33181778| Fax +49 (0)6151 16 4301 adam(a)ise.tu-darmstadt.de <mailto:adam@ise.tu-darmstadt.de> | www.ise.tu-darmstadt.de <https://mail.tu-darmstadt.de/owa/redir.aspx?REF=Pe3CWhsLOBJbnLmEKZWk8InVQ8d…> |

Fwd: [AISWorld] CfP: 10th Enterprise Engineering Working Conference (online) - Bolzano - Italy (EEWC 2020)
by Gustaf Neumann 18 Jul '20

18 Jul '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP: 10th Enterprise Engineering Working Conference (online) - Bolzano - Italy (EEWC 2020) Date: Sat, 18 Jul 2020 20:00:23 +0000 From: Robert Pergl <programchair(a)ciaonetwork.org> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org **Tenth Enterprise Engineering Working Conference** /(New Dates!) September 28th - 30th, 2020 (online), Bozen / Bolzano, Italy, as part of //BOSK 2020/ <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?tid=R1vfODd9G+OSW1TJsIQWsbOpczO6BkO/m…> Important Dates (submission window): August 31st: Submission deadline for initial versions of papers October 18th: Final versions of papers The 2020 Enterprise Engineering Working Conference (EEWC 2020) will be the 10th working conference addressing the field of Enterprise Engineering. As it is not unlikely that there will still be Covid-19 related travel restrictions in place for several of us by September, it has been decided for the BOSK 2020 events to take place in some on-line format. This also applies to EEWC 2020. The precise format, and platform, we will employ for EEWC 2020 is still under investigation. This also depends on the experiences which we, as a community, will gain from e.g. CAiSE 2020 and IEEE CBI 2020, which have also chosen to “go on-line”. Nevertheless, the goal remains to gather academics and practitioners in order to share innovative research issues and practical experiences, balancing rigour and relevance, as well as to facilitate profound discussions on the discipline of enterprise engineering <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?tid=vrIRDx9kjEiKoyDLE2cTYLOpczO6BkO/m…> . Furthermore, as in earlier years, the proceedings of EEWC 2020 will be published as post-conference proceedings in Springer's Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?tid=RnJcWvoPZ72qAFwSj445/LOpczO6BmO/m…> (LNBIP). The use of post-conference proceedings enables the authors to update their submissions based on the feedback from reviewers, as well as the discussions during the conference, which truly underlines the/ working conference/ character of EEWC. In going on-line, we will take the opportunity to take a further step in turning our EEWC conferences in a community-driven working event. We plan to organise the reviewing process in a more open format, involving a broader, and open, discussion within the community using an on-line discussion platform. More specifically, the plan is to have each paper go through the following process: Each submitted paper (via EasyChair) will be reviewed by three reviewers. The reviewers will be asked (1) if the current version of the paper is good enough to be published on the on-line discussion platform, and (2) to provide a discussion statement regarding the paper, to kick-off the discussion on the on-line platform. The discussions on the on-line platform will start well ahead of the actual conference and continue to be open just before and during the conference also. Two weeks before the conference, PC-chairs will, based on reviews and discussions, make a selection of papers that are to be presented. Some of these papers will already obtain confirmation of publication in Springer proceedings, some will be conditionally accepted and, after the conference might be accepted. The authors will then have the option to provide an updated version of their papers. In addition, they will be required to provide a 20 minute pre-recorded video with a presentation. These will have to be provided one week before the actual conference will take place. During the conference week, the community will be able to read the (updated version of the paper), and watch the pre-recorded video. During the actual conference days, video-meetings will be organised in which the papers (and presentations) will be discussed in more detail. Three weeks after the conference, the authors are required to submit an updated version of their paper via EasyChair. The latter will be re-assessed by the reviewers. Based on this, the final selection of papers to be included in the post-proceedings will be made. The above structure also allows us to be rather flexible in terms of submission deadlines. We plan to allow (initial) submissions (see step 1 above) from the 20 July until the 31st of August, while we aim the on-line forum to be available as of August. **Proceedings** 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?tid=RnJcWvoPZ72qAFwSj445/LOpczO6BmO/m…> (LNBIP). As in the previous years, the EEWC working conference will use post-conference proceedings. This enables the authors to update their submissions based on the feedback from reviewers, as well as the discussions during the working conference. Additionally, it provides us with more flexibility regarding the submission and reviewing process. **Relevant Topics** Topics of interest to for the EEWC include, but are not limited to: Specific aspects of enterprises: Business processes Business rules Information systems Software architectures Cross cutting concerns for enterprises: FAIR principles on good data management Regulatory compliance Sustainability Cyber risks Governance Coherence Resilience & antifragility Specific activities within enterprise engineering: Architecture Design Transformation Creation & use of reference models Tool support for enterprise engineering Foundations of enterprise engineering: Cybernetics Complex adaptive systems Foundations of (conceptual) modelling Fact-based thinking & modelling Enterprise ontology Normalised systems theory Foundational ontologies Collaborative & participatory modelling & design Application of enterprise engineering: Case studies in enterprise engineering Application of enterprise engineering in specific sectors / industries ***Submission*** Papers should be submitted in PDF format.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Extended Deadline: Modeling Language Engineering and Execution (MLE'20) at MODELS'20 **
by Gustaf Neumann 16 Jul '20

16 Jul '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Extended Deadline: Modeling Language Engineering and Execution (MLE'20) at MODELS'20 ** Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2020 18:44:05 +0200 From: Andreas Wortmann <wortmann(a)se-rwth.de> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org CC: Zschaler, Steffen <steffen.zschaler(a)kcl.ac.uk>, Taylor Riche <taylor.riche(a)ni.com> ------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------------------------------------------------ 2nd International Workshop on Modeling Language Engineering and Execution (MLE'20) at MODELS'20 https://mleworkshop.github.io/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Software-intensive systems are complicated, driven by the need to integrate across multiple concerns. Consequently, the development of such systems requires the integration of different concerns and skills. These concerns can be covered by different domain-specific modeling languages, with specific concepts, technologies, and abstraction levels. This multiplication of languages eases the development related to each individual specific concern but raises language and technology integration problems at the different stages of the software life cycle. To reason about the global system as a whole, it is necessary to explicitly describe the different kinds of relationships that exist between the different languages used in its development. To support effective language integration, there is a pressing need to reify and classify these relationships, as well as the language interactions that the relationships enable. Equally, the proliferation of domain-specific modeling languages required increases the need for effective and efficient techniques for engineering languages and their support infrastructures (transformations, analysis tools, editors, execution infrastructure, debuggers, ...). The Modeling Language Engineering and Execution (MLE) workshop aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners working on modeling-language and software-language engineering. It is a meeting opportunity for Software Language Engineering (SLE) enthusiasts within the software-modeling community. The topics of interest for MLE 2020 include: - Methodologies, languages, techniques, and methods for designing and implementing (executable) modeling languages - Composition, extension, and reuse of (executable) modeling languages and model execution tools - Heterogeneous modeling, simulation, and execution - Customization of (executable) modeling languages - Integration of (executable) modeling and programming languages - Semantics-aware model transformations and code generation - Scalability of model execution and execution-based model analysis - Execution of partial and underspecified models - Model execution with non-determinism and concurrency - Tracing model executions and analyzing model execution traces - Model execution tools for the (dynamic) validation, verification, and testing of systems (e.g., model animation, debugging, simulation, trace exploration, model checking, symbolic execution) - Automating the development of modeling and model execution tools Maintenance-related topics - Evolution in the context of executable modeling (e.g., evolution of executable modeling languages, execution semantics, executable models, model execution tools) - Verification of semantic conformance (e.g., among executable modeling languages, executable models, model execution tools) - Integration challenges for (executable) languages, from requirements to design, for analysis and simulation, during runtime, etc. - Case studies and experience reports on the successful or failed adoption of (executable) modeling in different domains - Surveys and benchmarks on the development of (executable) modeling languages, model execution, and model analyses Submissions describing practical and industrial experience related to the use of executable and/or heterogeneous modeling languages are also encouraged, particularly regarding Cyber-Physical Systems, Industry 4.0, Internet of Things, Complex Adaptive Systems, Smart Cities and Buildings. ------------------------------------------------------------ Workshop Format ------------------------------------------------------------ The format of the workshop reflects the goals of the workshop: constructive feedback on submitted papers and other artifacts on the engineering or use of modeling languages, collaborations, and community building. Hence, there is less focus on presentations and more focus on producing and documenting a research content that identifies challenges, different forms of language engineering and integration, and relates existing solutions. The workshop consists of a morning session in which a keynote and short presentations of the accepted papers will be given. A significant amount of time will be reserved for discussing each paper and their relations to each other. The afternoon is for working sessions dedicated to open discussions of the presented contributions and topics suggested by the participants. ------------------------------------------------------------ Submission ------------------------------------------------------------ We expect early research results about the aforementioned topics, descriptions of problems, case studies, experience reports, or solutions related to the topics of interest. Each contribution must be described in 5 pages in ACM format. Papers that describe use cases or novel approaches can be accompanied by concrete artifacts, such as models (requirements, design, analysis, transformation, composition, etc.), stored in a public repository. Artifacts should illustrate any experience on the conjoint use of different modeling languages. All submissions have to follow the ACM format and must be submitted electronically in PDF format via Easychair (https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=mle2020). They will be evaluated by at least three members of the program committee regarding novelty, correctness, significance, readability, and alignment with the workshop call. Furthermore, all submissions must be original work and must not have been previously published or being under review elsewhere. The accepted papers will be published as ACM online proceedings and indexed in DBLP and Scopus. ------------------------------------------------------------ Important Dates ------------------------------------------------------------ - Paper submission deadline: July 26, 2020 - Notification of acceptance: August 21, 2020 - Camera-ready deadline: August 28, 2020 - Workshop: October 18, 19 or 20, 2020 ------------------------------------------------------------ Program Committee ------------------------------------------------------------ - Erwan Bousse (Université de Nantes) - Marsha Chechik (University of Toronto) - Federico Ciccozzi (Mälardalen University) - Tony Clark (Sheffield Hallam University) - Benoit Combemale (University of Toulouse) - Jonathan Corley (University of West Georgia) - Julien Deantoni (UNS- I3S- INRIA Sophia Antipolis Mediterranee) - Marjan Mernik (University of Maribor) - Gunter Mussbacher (McGill University) - Florian Noyrit (CEA LIST) - Richard Paige (University of York) - Bernhard Rumpe (RWTH Aachen University) - Matthias Schöttle (McGill University) - Safouan Taha (CentraleSupélec, LRI) - Federico Tomassetti (Strumenta) - Mark van den Brand (Eindhoven University of Technology) ------------------------------------------------------------ Organizers ------------------------------------------------------------ - Andreas Wortmann (RWTH Aachen University) - Steffen Zschaler (King’s College London) - Taylor L.
