2ND CALL FOR PAPERS/PARTICIPATION: 3RD REA TECHNOLOGY WORKSHOP (AT MONTPELLIER, FRANCE, IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING CAISE�08)
Workshop site: http://www.managementinformation.ugent.be/REAworkshop2008/
NEW: We received an offer to publish the extended versions of the position papers from the 3rd REA Technology Workshop in Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP), a new series by Springer. Please make sure the submitted papers are not already freely available on the web. Reworked and extended versions of freely available papers will be accepted if they are sufficiently modified.
Introduction
William E. McCarthy published the REA enterprise model in the 1982 July issue of the Accounting Review. In 2002 Guido Geerts and William E. McCarthy presented the REA enterprise model as a business domain ontology that is embedded in Sowa�s top-level ontology. The article was published in the International Journal of Accounting Information System and indicates a new zest in REA research that broadens the initial scope (accounting and education) to representing intra-enterprise phenomena (e.g. ERP-systems) and inter-enterprise phenomena (e.g. supply chain models). The inter-enterprise aspect of REA was further clarified by its use in the ISO Open-edi accounting and economic ontology (ISO/IEC 15944-4) published in November 2007.
Prior REA Technology workshops (e.g. Copenhagen, Santorini) offered interesting discussions concerning these REA extensions. In Montpellier, we would like to continue the discussion and offer a forum for both fundamental REA research and applications for the REA ontology.
Participation
The workshop is open to anyone with an interest in the use, formalization or implementation of the REA ontology. We would like to receive a sign of your interest in this workshop on Managementinformation@UGent.be by Friday April 18th 2008 in order to enable us to procure appropriate workshop infrastructure.
Position papers presenting REA related research will be welcomed until May 24th 2008. Presentations will be determined by invitation, based on the organizing committee�s evaluation of the submitted position papers. Authors of accepted position papers will be notified by June 1st 2008.
Topics of Interest
Fundamental REA Research � Precise semantics of the ontological categories in REA � Extensions of the REA ontology as we know it today � Semantic similarities and differences between REA and double-entry bookkeeping, ERP-systems, workflow models, business (process) models� � REA and model-driven software development � The contribution of REA as a reference model (i.e. canon) for ambiguity reduction in discussions between different business fields. � Business domain ontologies that are complementary to the REA ontology � The contribution of REA in process control and fraud detection
REA applications � REA domain-specific modeling � REA and emerging technologies � REA application ontologies � REA formalizations (e.g. OWL, UML, XML, XBRL �) � Accounting artifacts � REA as a mechanism for interoperability � REA-based software applications and architectures � Best practices, guidelines and patterns for creating REA-based models

Notification of acceptance Sunday June 1st 2008
Workshop date Sunday June 15th 2008
