the extraordinary times the world has been living since the beginning of
2020 and all the challenges of the difficult circumstances we have
experienced but also the things we have learnt. Submissions might address
topics such as: how to conduct ACI research during a pandemic; the role of
animals as companions and emotional support during social isolation; caring
for animals in animal facilities under restrictions; relocating and
rehabilitating animals during a crisis; or developing more respectful and
empathetic relations with animals for a healthier and more sustainable
multispecies cohabitation. Submissions that relate to this year's

Subject: [AISWorld] CfP The 13th Workshop on Service-oriented
Enterprise Architecture for Enterprise Engineering
Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2021 17:25:17 +0000
From: Rainer Schmidt <Rainer.Schmidt(a)live.com>
To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org>
In conjunction with EDOC 2021
The 13th Workshop on Service-oriented Enterprise Architecture for
Enterprise Engineering
For engineering service-oriented enterprises in the era of cloud
computing could EA notations be a lingua franca?
SoEA4EE'2021
October 25, 2021, Gold Coast, Australia
http://www.soea4ee.org/
Enterprise Engineering (EE) is the application of engineering principles
to the design of Enterprise Architectures. It enables deriving the
Enterprise Architecture from the enterprise goals and strategy and
aligning it with the enterprise resources that also may be in the cloud
or on the edge. Enterprise architecture is used to map the enterprise
goal and strategy to the enterprise's resources (actors, assets, IT
supports) and to support the evolution of this mapping. It also provides
documentation on the assignment of enterprise resources to the
enterprise goals and strategy, e.g. for establishing new business models
such as platforms. There are different paradigms for creating enterprise
architecture. The most important is to encapsulate the functionalities
of IT resources as services. By this means, it is possible to clearly
describe the contributions of IT both in terms of functionality and
quality and to define a service-oriented enterprise architecture (SoEA).
The goal of the workshop is to develop concepts and methods to assist
the engineering and the management of service oriented enterprise
architectures (SoEA) and the software systems supporting them.
Topics for Discussion
During the workshop we will discuss the following topics:
1. Digital enterprises, Industry 4.0 and Platforms
- New trends in digitization for enterprise architecture and enterprise
engineering e.g. Industry 4.0, platforms - Impacts of digitized products
on enterprise architecture
- Enterprise architecture - contributions and challenges for digital
transformation, Industry 4.0 and platforms
2. SoEA and influence of Artificial Intelligence, social information
systems and big data in Enterprise Engineering - Trends in SoEA to use
the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence, social information systems
and big data (volume, variety, velocity, veracity)
- Impacts of Artificial Intelligence, social information systems and big
data on the SoEA
3. SoEA with cloud- and edge-computing
- Fitting SoEA with cloud and edge computing
- Concepts and methods for mapping enterprise services to cloud- and
edge-based resources
- Concepts and methods for mapping non-functional requirements to cloud-
and edge-based resources
4. Alignment of the enterprise goals and strategy with the SoEA
- Interdependencies between services and business goals
- Concepts and methods to align services with the business strategy
- New potentials and trends created by services to reengineer business
processes
- Quality issues and non-functional requirements for SoEA
- Coherence of services with compliance requirements (among others,
GDPR, ISO/IEC 27001 and 27002, ISO 15408)
5. Design of SoEA
- Specifications of business, software, platform and infrastructure services
- Matching business services with business processes
- Lifecycle of business, software, platform and infrastructure services
- Data-driven monitoring of the fulfilment of non-functional
requirements (big data, IoT, ...)
- Benchmarks and key performance indicators for services
- Approaches the continual improvement of services
6. Governance of SoEA
- Impacts of SoEA on the compliance and governance requirements
- Meta-services for business, software, platform and infrastructure services
- Building service (value) nets -consisting of business, software,
platform and infrastructure services
- Meta-services for cloud-environments
- Impacts of VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) on
the governance of EA
Submission
Full papers (8-10 pages in the IEEE-CS format) describing mature results
are sought. In addition, short/position papers (4-6 pages in the IEEE-CS
format) may be submitted to facilitate discussion of recent research
results and ongoing projects. Industry experience reports provide new
insights gained in case studies or when applying service-oriented EA for
enterprise engineering are also welcome. The paper selection will be
based upon the relevance of a paper to the main topics, as well as upon
its quality and potential to generate relevant discussion. All
contributions will be peer reviewed based on the complete version, being
full or short.
Please note that all submissions should be made in PDF format and comply
with the [IEEE Computer Society Conference Proceedings Format
Guidelines]
(http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html).
The proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press and
be made accessible through IEEE Xplore and the IEEE Computer Society
Digital Library.
Please submit your paper to Easychair at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=soea4ee2021
At least one author of each accepted workshop paper will have to
register for the whole EDOC 2021 conference and attend the workshop to
present the paper. Covid19 pandemic and the related Australian border
restrictions place a number of constraints on the physical attendance of
international delegates at the EDOC 2021. Thus, the participation to
SoEA4EE 2021 will be remote for non-Australian delegates. The
registration fee will be adapted to the situation.
Analogously to previous years, there will be no workshop-only
registration at EDOC 2021. If a paper is not presented in the workshop,
it will be removed from the workshop proceedings published in the IEEE
Xplore digital library. The SoEA4EE workshop has been a full day
workshop in conjunction with EDOC'09 in New Zealand, with EDOC'10 in
Brasil, EDOC'11 in Finland, EDOC 2012 in China, EDOC'2013 in Canada,
EDOC'2014 in Germany, EDOC'2015 in Australia, EDOC'2016 in Austria,
EDOC'2017 in Canada, EDOC'2018 in Stockholm, EDOC'2019 in Paris, and
EDOC'2020 virtually in Eindhoven. The programs of the previous editions
can be reached from the portal of the SoEA4EE series:
www.soea4ee.org<http://www.soea4ee.org>
Expected results
All papers will be published in the workshop wiki
(www.soea4ee.org<http://www.soea4ee.org>) before the workshop, so that
everybody can learn about the problems that are important for other
participants. The workshop will consist of long and short paper
presentations, brainstorming sessions and discussions. Workshop papers
will be published in a second volume of the EDOC 2021 conference
proceedings.

Subject: [AISWorld] CfP 14th Workshop on Social and Human Aspects of
Business Process Management (BPMS2’21)

The 14th Workshop on Social and Human Aspects of Business Process Management
(BPMS2’21)
As part of BPM 2021
19th International Conference on Business Process Management
September 6, 2021, Rome, Italy
Call for Papers
Deadline for workshop paper submissions: May 24, 2021
Workshop Theme
The involvement of human aspects into Business Process Management takes
place both on a social and individual level. Social information systems
1 such as social media, Enterprise 2.0, and social platforms are
spreading quickly in society, organizations, and economics. Enterprises
use social information systems to improve their business processes and
create new business models.
The integration of business process management and social information
systems becomes more and more widespread. New approaches for using
social information systems in combination with business process
management appear frequently.
Social information systems are used both in external and internal
business processes. Companies can co-create products and services, e.g.,
companies integrate customers into product development to capture ideas
and features.
Thus, communication with the customer is increasingly bi-directional.
The integration of business process management and social information
systems enables the creation of new business models using social
platforms. Social platforms enable the creation of cross-side network
effects and therefore called two- or multi-sided markets2. Prominent
examples are TripAdvisor, UBER, and AirBnB. By using the value-creating
mechanisms of social information systems, business models became
possible, which were not realizable before.
E.g., the AirBnB uses a crowdsourcing model for quality control by using
users’ reviews of apartments. In this way, a quality assessment of
products and services became possible that was too costly so far.
Social information systems also create new possibilities to enhance
internal business processes by improving the exchange of knowledge and
information, to speed up decisions, etc. Social information systems
enable value-creating interactions such as weak ties, social production,
egalitarianism. These value-creating interactions open new possibilities
and potentials for the design of processes. Weak ties enable the
flexible integration of process participants, social production paves
the way for the bottom-up definition of business processes, and
egalitarian decisions change how decisions are made in business
processes. The use of value-creating interactions is tightly intertwined
with new forms of involvement of human beings into business process
management.
Human aspects complement the social perspective on business process
management. The fact that more and more enterprises are using business
process management implies that the human individual is involved in a
multitude of business processes. Individuals must cope with multiple
process contexts and thus must administer data appropriately. Digital
assistants such as Alex integrate individuals in processes that could
not interact with conventional computers. In this way, new forms of
interaction between processes and humans arise. Furthermore, individuals
must integrate the external business processes into their work
environment or even to couple several external business processes. Human
aspects of business process management relate to the individual who
creates a process model, to the communication among people, during and
after the process execution, and to the social process of collaborative
modeling. They also relate to the interaction / collaboration /
coordination / cooperation that should be implemented in the business
process or to specific human-related aspects of the business process
itself and their representations in models.
Before this background, the goal of the workshop is to explore how
social information systems integrate with business process management,
and how business process management may profit from this integration.
Furthermore, the workshop investigates the human aspects introduced into
Business Process Management by involving human actors. Examples are the
use of crowdsourced knowledge and tasks, the need for new user
interfaces, e.g., augmented reality and voice bots.
The workshop will discuss three topics. Social Business Process
Management, Social Business and Platforms, and Human Aspects of Business
Process Management.
1. Social Business Process Management (SBPM)
- Social information systems in the BPM lifecycle e.g., Design,
Deployment, Operation, and Evaluation
- BPM methods and paradigms to cope with Social information systems
- Influence of weak ties, social production, egalitarianism, and mutual
service provisioning on BPM
- Trust and reputation in business processes management carried through
Social information systems
- Influence of weak ties, social production, egalitarianism and mutual
service provisioning in the design and management of business processes?
- Integration of Social information systems with WFMS or other business
process support systems?
- Conceptual modelling for knowledge intensive and social business
processes?
2. Social Business and Social Platforms: Social information systems
supporting business processes
- New opportunities offered by Social information systems for the
support of business processes
- Social platforms and their support for business processes and new
business models
- Value (co-)creation in social business and social platforms
- Sociality requirements of business processes according to their nature
(predictable/non predictable; production/collaborative/ad hoc)
- Use of Wikis, Blogs etc. to support business processes
- Fitting between types of Social information systems and phases of the
BPM lifecycle
- New trends in business knowledge modelling leveraged by social
production 3. Human Aspects of Business Process Management
- Concepts, technologies, and services to support individuals acting in
business processes
- Digital Assistants such as Google, Siri etc. in business process
management and business processes
- Human aspects of business process management
- Human-centric business processes
- Human resource management in business processes (workloads, skills,
preferences, affinities, context, mobility, etc. …) Goal Based on the
twelve previous successful BPMS2 workshops since 2008, the goal of the
BPMS2’21 workshop is to promote the integration of business process
management with social information systems and social software and to
enlarge the community pursuing the theme.
Workshop paper format
Position papers of up to 2500 words are sought. Position papers that
raise relevant questions, or describe successful or unsuccessful
practice, or describe experience will all be welcome. Position papers
will be assigned a 20-minute presentation. Short papers of up to 1000
words can also be submitted and will be assigned a 10-minute presentation.
Submission
Prospective authors are invited to submit papers for presentation in any
of the areas listed above. Only papers in English will be accepted. The
length of full papers must not exceed 12 pages (There is no possibility
to buy additional pages). Position papers and tool reports should be no
longer than 6 pages. Papers should be submitted in the new LNBIP format
(http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-487211-0). Papers
must present original research contributions not concurrently submitted
elsewhere.
The title page must contain a short abstract, a classification of the
topics covered, preferably using the list of topics above, and an
indication of the submission category (regular paper/position paper/tool
report).
Please use Easychair for submitting your paper:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpm2021
The paper selection will be based on the relevance of a paper to the
main topics, as well as upon its quality and potential to generate
relevant discussion. All the workshop papers will be published by
Springer as a post- proceeding volume (to be sent around 4 months after
the workshop) in their Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing
(LNBIP) series.
Activities
All papers will be published on workshop wiki
(www.bpms2.org<http://www.bpms2.org>) before the workshop, so that
everybody can learn about the problems that are important for other
participants. A blog will be used to encourage and support discussions.
The workshop will consist of long and short paper presentations,
brainstorming sessions and discussions. The workshop report will be
created collaboratively using a wiki. A special issue over all workshops
will be published in a journal (decision in progress).

Subject: [AISWorld] MISQ Author Development Workshop - Call for
Applications
Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2021 15:15:36 +0000
From: Andrew Burton-Jones <abj(a)business.uq.edu.au>
To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org>
MIS Quarterly Virtual Author Development Workshop
Dear Colleagues:
Continuing an important tradition, MIS Quarterly will hold a virtual
author development workshop on June 19th and 26th, 2021.
The workshop is designed to provide authors with (1) feedback from MISQ
Senior Editors and Associate Editors on potential submissions to MISQ,
as well as; (2) the opportunity to discuss with editors and other
authors on how to develop papers for submission and resubmission to MISQ
or elsewhere.
The workshop has traditionally been offered in a face-to-face format
alongside major IS conferences. Due to the disruptions to face-to-face
conferences caused by the pandemic, MISQ will offer the workshop in a
virtual format.
The workshop will be offered in two time slots to accommodate for time
differences:
1. Saturday [June 19th, 2021], 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM (Central European
Time) / 3:00 PM - 7:00 PM (China Standard Time) (this timeframe is
likely to work for AIS Regions 2 & 3)
2. Saturday [June 26th, 2021], 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM (Eastern Standard Time)
(this timeframe is likely to work for AIS Region 1)
Each of the workshop time slots has a limited capacity of 30 authors.
The workshop will include:
1. Roundtable discussion led by editors on authors' submissions to the
workshop.
2. Editors' panel discussion on developing papers for initial submission
to MISQ.
3. Editors' panel discussion on revising papers for MISQ.
In our experience, the workshop not only gives helpful insights for
improving authors' papers, but also gives helpful insights into the
culture and policies of the journal. This can be particularly helpful
for new authors.
There is no registration fee for the workshop.
