FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
17th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2011) August 4-7, 2011, Detroit, MI, USA
Track: Business Intelligence and Knowledge Management Mini-track: Master Data Management: Strategies, Concepts and Cases
DESCRIPTION
Master data management is an application-independent function which describes and manages the business data resource in an organization. It ensures high quality of these data by providing guidelines for its management and it creates a common view on the data. Recently, master data management received much attention from business. A major reason for this is the important role high-quality master data plays with regard to a number of business drivers. Among them are compliance to regulatory requirements, integrated customer management and the need of a "single source of the truth" for company-wide reporting purposes. Despite the relevance of master data quality, current efforts in practice leave much to be desired. Moreover, the topic has been discussed in the information systems (IS) research area to a marginal extent only so far. The proposed mini-track addresses this gap and aims at giving a forum for novel concepts and research work in the following areas:
* Strategies for master data management * Master data centric business scenarios and use cases * Cost and benefit analysis for master data management * Application of valuation theories of master data management * Organizational concepts for master data management * Human factors in master data management * Master data governance * Master data quality * Master data security and privacy aspects * Master data lifecycle management * Master data architectures including reference architectures and architecture patterns * Master data management deployment methods * Business metadata management * Standardization activities * Data modeling for master data * Master data and service-orientation * Software architectures * Patterns for data distribution and data synchronization * Case studies and applications * Industry specific aspects of master data management
The mini-track chairs welcome innovative research papers from both the academic and the practitioners’ community.
