Subject: [AISWorld] Business & Information Systems Engineering -
Special Issue on The Future of Systems Development: Managing Technology,
Social, and Individual Aspects (1/2025) - 2nd Call for Papers
Date: Mon, 2 Oct 2023 09:21:13 +0000
From: Rosenkranz, Christoph <rosenkranz(a)wiso.uni-koeln.de>
To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org>
Dear colleagues,
We once again invite submissions of papers for a special issue at
Business & Information Systems Engineering.
Best regards,
Christoph on behalf of the editors (Viktoria, Manuel, and Christoph)
================================================================
Call for Papers
Business & Information Systems Engineering
Special Issue "The Future of Systems Development: Managing Technology,
Social, and Individual Aspects"
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12599-023-00819-6
<https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12599-023-00819-6>
================================================================
================================================================
Submission deadline: January 2nd, 2024
================================================================
1 Description of the Special Issue
The last two decades have seen considerable changes in the information
technology (IT) landscape. This has been driven by the rise of
data-driven machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI)
technologies, the prominence of increasingly digital business
strategies, which rely on digital innovation in almost any industries,
the changing role of IT in general, where the ubiquity of IT leads to an
ontological reversal, and profound changes in the way people in IT and
business work together. Along with these fundamental changes, we have
seen the rise of new solutions, methods, and artifacts, and profound
differences in the ways information systems are engineered. For example,
agile methods are now the de-facto standard approach for developing
systems in industry, and DevOps increasingly transforms how IT
departments develop and operate IT or work together with business
departments or customers. With information systems engineering tasks
increasingly being data-driven and becoming immersive, customer demands
are even more in the focus of research and practice.
This special issue seeks to advance the body of knowledge in information
systems engineering toward socio-technical approaches such as next
generation systems development, (post) agile, and DevOps. More
precisely, we seek submissions to topics related, but not limited to the
following:
1.1 Technological: Advances in Automation Technologies
Various technologies have changed software engineering by automating and
augmenting many software engineering tasks. For example, machine
learning (ML) has automated tasks such as generating code and bug
fixing. In addition, ML is also widely adopted in modern software-based
systems, including safety-critical domains such as autonomous cars,
medical diagnosis, or drone flight. Similarly, DevOps practices help
speed up and automate the process of developing, deploying, and managing
applications, such as continuous integration speeding up release
updates. These developments affect information systems engineering
topics such as:
- Changing focus from project to product perspective.
- Developing adequate success measures and performance metrics.
- Effects of automation on software engineering task and task distribution.
- Novel ways to address innovation in systems development projects.
- Managing projects and products with high degree of automated elements.
Changing and new forms of organizing IT work such as outsourcing,
freelancing, consulting.
- …
1.2 Social: Democratizing Software Engineering
While modern software engineering concepts such as agile, DevOps, and
lean have integrated users more into the software engineering processes,
the fusion of IT and business departments into autonomous product teams
and the increasing importance of low-code and no code platforms have led
to the emergence of new software engineering ecosystems. As a result, a
plethora of different approaches compete for any given scenario, shaping
the landscape of software engineering with even more available options.
For example, low-code platforms such as Mendix are now a viable option
for allowing business users to develop software on their own, with
minimal technical skill and without the apparent need for IT departments
or developers. ML-based tools such as ChatGPT already demonstrate the
ability to build program code based on pure textual descriptions
(no-code). At the same time, this raises questions related to
scalability, reliability, and technical debt of the solution as well as
ethical or legal issues. These developments affect information systems
engineering topics such as:
- Implications of model-driven and low/no-code development for managing
IT functions.
- Changing and novel information systems engineering roles;
- New information systems engineering trade-offs emerging (performance
vs. quality vs. reliability).
- New forms of organizing information systems development beyond agile,
hybrid, and waterfall.
- Implications for planning, architecture, and governance.
- Implications for education, training, and teaching information systems
engineering.
- …
1.3 Individual: Human Factors in Information Systems Engineering
Although automation, artificial intelligence, and machine learning are
increasingly important, at the same time the human factor plays an ever
more central role in information systems engineering. For example, it is
of paramount importance that the right people with the right skills are
selected to work in self-organizing product teams, capable of making
autonomous decisions related to all business and technical aspects for
their product. Intra- and inter-team coordination in autonomous teams is
a challenge, especially in large-scale agile settings. Further,
retaining top IT talent is one of the enduring challenges in research
and practice. Changing work conditions including shifting work-life
priorities, external shocks as the COVID pandemic have severe
consequences for individual working in software engineering. These
developments affect information systems engineering topics such as:
- Motivation, work-life balance, satisfaction, and retention of software
engineers.
- Skills, competencies, knowledge, and job design.
- Project and program management.
- Changes in labor market structures, demands, and career paths.
- Teamwork in agile autonomous teams.
- Coordination in large-scale agile.
- Management/leadership and collaboration in a hybrid work setting.
- …
This special issue is intended to provide practitioners and researchers
with a venue to present insights, innovations, and solutions in
information systems engineering. We welcome both behavioral and
design-oriented work but submitted papers must have a strong empirical
basis/component to be eligible for this special issue. BISE provides a
forum for information systems engineering research with a strong
empirical component and a venue for publishing empirical results
relevant to both researchers and practitioners. In addition to the open
call for papers, authors of conference papers are encouraged to submit
extended versions of their work. To comply with the goals of a journal
publication, we are asking to revise and substantially extend the
original conference papers. Some possible extensions can be adding
additional data gathered through case studies or experiments, additional
empirical validation, systematic comparisons with other approaches, or a
sound theoretical foundation. Revised papers should explicitly explain
how they extend the original conference papers.
2 Submission of Papers
Any form of rigorous theoretical contribution (conceptual, empirical, or
design-oriented) using any scholarly method is welcome. Papers must
address the core theme of next-generation information systems
engineering, and potential topics include, but are not limited to, the
ones outlined above.
Please submit papers by 2 January 2024 at the latest via the journal’s
online submission system (http://www.editorialmanager.com/buis/
<http://www.editorialmanager.com/buis/>). Please observe the
instructions regarding the format and size of contributions. Papers
should adhere to the general BISE author guidelines
(https://www.bise-journal.com/author_guidelines
<https://www.bise-journal.com/author_guidelines>).
All papers will be reviewed anonymously (double-blind process) by at
least two referees regarding relevance, originality, and research
quality. In addition to the editors of the journal, including those of
this special focus, distinguished international scholars will be
involved in the review process.

Subject: [AISWorld] 36th International Conference on Advanced
Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE 2024): Last Call for Workshop
Proposals
Date: Mon, 2 Oct 2023 10:32:16 +0000
From: Announce <announce(a)ucy.ac.cy>
To: aisworld <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org>
*** Last Call for Workshop Proposals ***
36th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering
(CAiSE'24)
June 3-7, 2024, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus
https://cyprusconferences.org/caise2024/
(*** Submission Deadline: October 13, 2023 AoE ***)
CAiSE is a well-established, highly visible conference series on
Advanced Information Systems
(IS) Engineering. It covers all relevant topics in the area, including
methodologies and
approaches for IS engineering, innovative platforms, architectures and
technologies, and
engineering of specific kinds of IS. CAiSE conferences also have the
tradition of hosting
workshops in related fields. Workshops are intended to focus on
particular topics and provide
ample room for discussions of new ideas and developments.
CAiSE 2024, the 36th edition of the CAiSE series, invites proposals for
workshops to be held in
conjunction with the main conference, related to the CAiSE topics,
covering new emerging
topics and targeting innovative papers in special focus areas.
Prospective workshop organisers should specify whether they plan an
event with a
presentation-oriented track, a discussion-oriented track, or both.
Presentation-oriented track
This track focuses on accepted papers with presentations followed by Q&A
sessions, akin to
conferences. The proceedings of these workshops are intended to be
published in a joint
volume in the Springer LNBIP series. Submissions must conform to the
Springer LNCS/LNBIP
format and should not exceed 12 pages. According to the Springer
standards, the overall
acceptance rate cannot exceed 45%-50%.
Discussion-oriented track
This track emphasizes discussions facilitated by paper presentations
revolving around novel
ideas and early-stage research. Since the main criterion for paper
acceptance in such
workshops is relevance and potential for raising discussion, they are
not expected to have
their proceedings in the Springer LNBIP volume.
The edition of a joint proceedings volume next to the LNBIP one for the
discussion-oriented
track is underway. Proceedings shall be submitted to CEUR-WS.org for
online publication.
Details on this aspect will be provided separately.
Proposal submission
Workshop proposals should be submitted via EasyChair at the following
address: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=caise2024
Please select the Author role and the CAiSE 2024 Workshops track.
Prior contact with the workshop chairs
(caise2024-workshops(a)easychair.org) is encouraged.
The organizer(s) of approved workshops will be responsible for
advertising their workshop,
eliciting high-quality submissions, organizing the reviewing process of
their workshop’s
papers according to the principles and guidelines of CAiSE, and
collecting camera-ready
copies of accepted papers (verifying that they comply with the
formatting rules). Organizers
(including co-organizers) are expected to attend their entire workshop.
Detailed instructions for workshop proposers
The proposal (up to 1000 words) should cover the following points:
• Workshop title, duration (1 day or 2 days), preferred date (3-4 June 2024)
• Workshop type (presentation-oriented or discussion-oriented, or both).
• Information on the organizers (PC chairs, other organizers who will be
present at the workshop or are otherwise involved, including the person
responsible for web presence and communication). Please include names,
addresses, and affiliations, indicating the main responsible person. The
submission should include a one-paragraph biographical sketch for each
organizer, describing relevant qualifications and experience. Please
specify at least one PC chair. PC chairs will not be allowed to submit
papers to the workshop, but other organizers (who will have no oversight
over the review process) are encouraged to do so.
• Purpose: What are the main goals of the workshop? Please list the
workshop topics. How does the focus of the workshop differ from the main
conference? How does the focus of the workshop differ from other
potential CAiSE events? (Proponents are advised to look at the workshops
and working conferences held at CAiSE 2022 and CAiSE 2023 and
differentiate your scope from theirs.)
• Organization of the workshop: Specify the type of contributions,
distribution into sessions, type of sessions, etc. Mention if you plan
to have any keynote speaker (please note that the conference
organization will not cover fees, travel expenses, accommodation and
registration costs of keynote speakers). Include any special
requirements regarding infrastructure and room layout.
• Tentative list of PC members.
• An estimate of the number of papers to be accepted, and the number of
attendees. If applicable, short information on previous editions of the
workshop series (this should include submission, acceptance, and
attendance information). Short information on your plans for advertising
your workshop and making it highly visible.
Services provided by CAiSE
• EasyChair installation for the management of the workshop submissions
(each organizer will be made chair of their own workshop).
• Publication of papers in an LNBIP volume for presentation-oriented
tracks, and in a CEUR-WS.org online volume for discussion-oriented tracks.
• One free workshop-only registration if more than 10 people are
registered for the workshop. Organizers willing to attend the whole
event (main conference) will have to register for the conference at
their own expense.
• Local organizational infrastructure and administrative support
(registration, badges, refreshments, beamers, screens, etc.). In
particular, all venue issues (rooms, meals and catering, social dinner,
etc.) as well as the management of the registrations and the
financing/administrative issues will be handled by the CAiSE
Organization Board and are not under the responsibility of the workshop
organizers.
• Advertisement of the workshop on the CAiSE 2024 homepage and mailings.
Please note that the workshop may be canceled if the number of
registrations is less than 10.
Also, in the case of workshops with topics that are similar, two or more
