------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE 9th ENTERPRISE ENGINEERING TRACK For the past twenty six years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing has been a primary gathering forum for computer scientists, computer and software engineers from around the world. The ACM SAC conference is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP). The 27th Annual SAC will be held in Riva del Garda, Trento, Italy, between 25 and 29 March 2012.
Enterprise Engineering aims at researching concepts, systems and methods to facilitate the modelling, governance and analysis of the multiple aspects pertaining to an organization. Its primary focus is on understanding the relationships and dependencies between cross-cutting enterprise concerns such as business processes, goals, strategy, organization, people and the supporting systems and technology. Enterprise Engineering therefore encompasses multi-disciplinary topics, such as business process modelling, enterprise architecture, organizational ontologies, service-oriented architectures, business-IT alignment, enterprise application integration and method engineering.
For the last eight years, the ACM SAC Enterprise Engineering track has provided an opportunity for theoretical research work and applied projects to be presented and shared, thus enabling researchers, academics and practitioners interested in enterprise engineering to present their projects,exchange their ideas and discuss open issues.
------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOPICS
Enterprise Engineering, Architecture, Methods and Models
* Business modelling (e.g. modelling of business processes, transactions,business information, business objects, actors, roles) * Strategic and organizational modelling (e.g. modelling of goals, value,indicators, contracts, legal constraints, rules and organizational structure) * Service and systems modelling from a technology-independent perspective. * Technological infrastructure modelling. * Business-Systems-IT traceability and alignment. * Business process management, including process and task mining.Process patterns, process orchestration and coordination. * Enterprise architecture frameworks. * Architectural views, viewpoints and layers. * Notations, languages and standards for enterprise engineering. * Enterprise and organizational ontologies. * Model analysis, verification and validation. * Formalization of enterprise models. * Intra and inter-organizational collaborations and contracts. * Enterprise integration, business integration and enterprise applicationintegration. * Methods for enterprise engineering, including methods for process design, redesign and assessment. * Design Science Research methods for enterprise engineering. * Collaborative methods for enterprise engineering. * Governance, maintenance and evolution of enterprise models.
Enterprise Information Systems and Enterprise Application Integration
* Workflow and BPM systems. * ERP, CRM, and ECM modelling, development and deployment. * Applied Business Intelligence. * Service-Oriented Architectures. * Interoperability of Enterprise Applications. * Enterprise Application Integration. * Integration of EIS and e-Business. * Trust, security, and privacy issues in enterprise computing. * Applications and case studies on EIS development, deployment and management. * Tools for supporting the analysis, (re) design, simulation, model deployment, execution, observation and assessment of the organization.
------------------------------------------------------------------------- PAPERS AND SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Accepted papers will be published in the ACM SAC proceedings and in the ACM's Digital Library.The authors of the best papers presented at ACM SAC EE 2012 will be invited to submit an extended version of their work to a specialized journal (more details will be posted soon).
The ACM SAC is a refereed conference and each paper will undergo a double-blind review by three referees. Papers will be evaluated according to their significance, technical content, originality, style and clarity. Note that ACM SAC has grown to be a very competitive conference and the average acceptance rate is around 25%.
All submitted papers must represent original work and can only be submitted to a single ACM SAC track. Papers submitted to more than one track will be removed from the conference.
Paper submissions must be made electronically in PDF format via the ACM SAC online track management system athttps://www.softconf.com/c/sac2012/
Submitted papers must be formatted using the ACM SIG format. Document templates (LaTeX, MS Word) are available at http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2012/. Please ensure that the author names and contacts are omittedfrom the submitted paper during the initial review phase.
The paper length is 6 pages using the ACM SIG format. Authors may opt to add 2 additional pages (at extra charge) up to a total of 8 pages.
Authors of quality papers that are not accepted as full papers will be invited to publish their work as a short paper. Short papers are also published in the proceedings and in ACM's Digital Library and will be presented at the conference during the poster sessions. The short paper length is2 pages using and authors may opt to add oner additional page (at extra charge) up to a total of 3 pages.
At least one author is required to attend the conference and present the paper.
Please do not hesitate contacting us anytime for paper content guidance or questions via e-mail.
