-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: EAIoT2021 Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2021 12:03:42 +0100 From: Ejub Kajan <dr.ejubkajan(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org, agents(a)cs.umbc.edu, SOCNET(a)lists.ufl.edu, IFIPWG82(a)listserv.syr.edu, sigecom-talk(a)acm.org CC: Dr. Zakaria Maamar <Zakaria.Maamar(a)zu.ac.ae>, Yucong Duan <duanyucong(a)hotmail.com> *First International Workshop on* *Latest Advances in Enterprise Architectures in the IoT Era (EAIoT’2021)* http://eaiot2021.connect.rs In conjunction with IEEE EDOC’21 http://ieee-edoc.org/2021/ Gold Coast, Australia, October 25, 2021 *CALL FOR PAPERS* Internet of Things (IoT), one of the fastest growing Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), is impacting organizations from all perspectives (e.g., operational, legal, financial, and competitiveness) forcing them to review their functional and non-functional practices. According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), ``IoT spending will increase by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.6% from 2017 to 2022, reaching $1.2 trillion within the next four years. It is also predicted 41 billion IoT devices by 2027 and 70% of automobiles will be connected to the Internet by 2023. To tap into the endless benefits and uses of IoT, the design principles and foundations of organizations’ enterprise architectures are expected to adjust to ensure a smooth integration of IoT into these architectures’ foundations namely organization, business, information, application, and technology. Aiming at examining these foundations separately and then collectively, this workshop is an open forum for discussions between academics and industry partners about the latest advances and developments in the dynamic field of enterprise architecture in the IoT era. The workshop addresses the lack of techniques and guidelines that would enable enterprises to integrate IoT into the life cycle of designing, developing, and deploying enterprise architectures. This integration should lead to a new generation of enterprise architectures that would foster not only a deeper retrospect on the involved interactive digital resources inside the life cycle covering data collection, information analysis, knowledge reasoning and wisdom strategies, but also a better understanding of potential threats as well as the development of new ways of aligning business and ICT resources together to improve the competitiveness of the enterprise in the background of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) trend. Whilst, on the one hand, IoT enacts many opportunities that enterprises could tap into, there are also obstacles that could undermine these opportunities, on the other hand. Some of these obstacles are lack of standards that cover both enterprise architecture and IoT, security holes that potentially exist in IoT devices making them questionable in terms of trust, security, and privacy, IoT limitations like silo restriction, computational capabilities, lack of semantic technologies that should describe IoT in a machine-understandable manner, just to mention some. *Topics of Interest* This workshop constitutes an opportunity for researchers from both disciplines enterprise computing (with focus on enterprise architecture) and IoT technologies to discuss how enterprises could capitalize on these technologies so, that, a new generation of business processes could spread over the emergent network of IoT. Topics for discussions include, but are not limited to: • Standards for IoT-based enterprise architecture. • Enterprise architecture for Industry 4.0. • Data science for IoT-based enterprise architecture. • Semantic technologies for IoT-based enterprise architecture. • Agentification of IoT-based enterprise architecture. • Interoperability inside and between IoT-based enterprise architecture. • Guidelines and best practices for IoT-based enterprise architecture • Privacy, trust, and security of IoT-based enterprise architecture. • Context management and awareness for IoT-based enterprise architecture • Case studies related to IoT-based enterprise architecture. *COMMITTEES* *Organizing committee* • Ejub Kajan, State University of Novi Pazar, Novi Pazar, Serbia • Zakaria Maamar, Zayed University, Dubai, UAE • Yucong Duan, Hainan University, Haikou, China *Program committee* • Mohammad Asim, FAST NUCES, Pakistan • Saoussen Cheikhrouhou, University of Sfax, Tunis • Marco Cremaschi, Università di Milano-Bicocca, Italy • Christophe Cruz, Université de Bourgogne, France • Frank Dieter-Dorloff, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany • Qiang Duan, Pennsylvania State University, USA • Abdelrahman Elfaki, University of Tabuk, Saudi Arabia • Rik Eshuis, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands • Noura Faci, University Lyon1, Lyon, France • Francisco Falcone, Public University of Navarra, Pamplona, Spain • Veit Jahns, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany • Soraya Kouadri Mostefaoui, Open University, UK • In Lee, Western Illniois University, USA • Sylvain Lefebvre, Toyota, Japan • Nanjangud C.

Culture is /a cumulative custom of beliefs, values, rituals, and sanctions/ /practiced by a group of people, province or country/. It is a much sensitive dimension of internationalization of any business and making it perform in a culturally diverse environment. At present, culture introduces significant changes in the core assumptions of business practices and skill expectations. This paradigm-shift has forced business executives and managers to know how cultural differences affect inter-organizational as well as intra-organizational functioning. It has made gaining cross-cultural compatibility a serious concern for the business as well as the scholastic society around the world. This proposed book would facilitate the cross-culture business and management practices by developing practitioners and academicians with cross-cultural business and management competencies. The way to improve these skills is to fill the gaps between practical implication and theoretical consideration; focus should be on learning so that they will get more chances to enhance their knowledge, skills and attitudes relevant to achieve business objectives.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- 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. Important dates Workshop paper submission: June 18th, 2021 Workshop paper notification: July 16th, 2021 Workshop camera-ready paper due: July 30th, 2021 Organisers Selmin Nurcan - University Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, France Rainer Schmidt - Munich University of Applied Sciences, Germany _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
