History:
This event is the continuation of the Enterprise Management and Resource Planning System - EMRPS'99 Workshop that took place in Venice, at Centro Studi San Salvador (proceedings and additional information can be found in http://leks.iasi.rm.cnr.it/emrps99 ). For this continuation we decided to change the name, to give a broader scope to the event, and gear it more towards the business management community.
Workshop Theme:
Virtual Organisations and Innovative OESs: "Open Enterprise Solutions" (e.g., virtual & network-based organization platforms, methods and tools for process modeling & engineering, knowledge sharing and management techniques, advanced integrated information systems, workflow management systems) represent a major breakthrough for enterprises and their way of doing business. These solutions allow the creation of "open workplaces" and/or "marketplaces" and are frequently based on systems for Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), and Supply Chain Management (SCM). It is important to note that the main innovation brought by such kinds of enterprise solutions to support internal and external business processes is not in the technological aspects, since they do not require the most recent ICT tools (although they can benefit from them), but on the way an enterprise, or a network of them, is organized and operated. In fact, the main issues concern the full integration of the enterprise information asset and its alignment to the actual state of the business. This is achieved through an extensive, systematic, and integrated approach to business process modeling and automation, that potentially impacts on every aspect of enterprise activities and organisation. To exploit the potential benefits of such systems to enterprises, new methods and tools are needed for: - requirement engineering (analysis, specification and management), enterprise modeling (notations, methods and tools), business process modeling and re-engineering, workflow modeling - analysis and specification of complex domains, enterprise ontologies, enterprise knowledge-bases and knowledge management - enterprise organisation and management (virtual organisations, dynamic extended enterprises, smart organisations, open workplaces) - market mediation and virtual trading (portals, auction, brokerage, virtual trade fairs, open marketplaces, on-line banking and financial services), OES and technologies in small- and medium- sized firms - quantitative methods for assessment and planning (metrics and tools), impact analysis of business process change, enterprise and business process simulation - component-based development and technologies for OES, legacy systems and OES interoperability, OES implementation methods, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS), frameworks, customisable application platforms, product lines, methods for middleware integration, datawarehousing and decision support systems
The objectives of this workshop is to bring together scientists, experts and practitioners who are active in the above areas (topics are not restricted to them), either developing new solutions or experimenting them on the field. Furthermore, given the wide scope and the number of issues on which OESs impact, it is particularly useful to gather competencies and experiences from different sectors, with the intent to cross-fertilise ideas and experiences.
Workshop organisation:
The workshop will gather a limited number of participants (approx.80). There will be a plenary meeting with a small number of presentations for regular papers. A special session will be devoted to the industrial presentations, where we expect contributions from software vendors and reports on significant practical experiences. Participants will also divide into tracks and working groups to focus on specific topics, and a final plenary session to present the results of discussion to the audience.
Submission guidelines
Submissions can be of two types: - regular papers (maximum 5,000 words), focusing on the state of the art or illustrating a position on a specific topic; - short papers (max 2,000 words), presenting ongoing research or industrial experience. A full post-conference proceedings is planned.
For the scientific programme: Submissions must be in electronic (RTF/PDF/MSword97) form, should indicate whether it is a full paper or position paper, and should be directed to either of the program co-chairs:
Arne Solvberg, University of Trondheim, Norway mailto:Arne.Solvberg@idi.ntnu.no
Leslie Willcocks Warwick Business School, Coventry, UK mailto:willcocksl@aol.com
For the industrial programme: The industrial program will be organized into tracks (currently two tracks are planned on "Virtual Trade Fairs" and on "e-logistic"). All persons contemplating submissions to any of these tracks are encouraged to contact the appropriate track co-chair (names will be communicated asap) prior to actual submission if any clarification or guidance is sought. Industral experiencies, significant applications and relevant technical solutions should be presented in an extended abstract (1,000 words) to be sent, in electronic (RTF/PDF/MSword97) form, to the general chair:
