CALL FOR PAPERS
Second Workshop on Information Systems for Mass Customization (ISMC 2002) (http://www-wi.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/mc/ismc2002/)
as part of the Third International ICSC Symposium on Engineering of Intelligent Systems (EIS 2002) Malaga, Spain, 24.09.-27.09.2002
One of the big challenges of the upcoming century is the realization of mass customization which means obviously changes to nearly all areas of business. For example, sophisticated marketing concepts, organizational issues, logistics, and manufacturing strategies are required. However, mass customization is not an "add-on" to conventional business concepts and strategies. It means a deep cut into all parts of an operational enterprise. Therefore business processes, company organization structure, information systems, production strategies, logistics, production technology etc. have to be reconsidered. Furthermore, all subsystems of a company have to work together in a continuously integrated manner. The workshop aims to provide researchers and practitioners from academia and industry with a forum to report on the latest developments in topics concerning mass customization as well as managing mass customization strategies. Besides reports on practice cases and research results, the workshop provides broad room for discussion. For this reason, interested people not contributing a report, but being engaged in the topic are especially welcome to deepen the discussion.
WORKSHOP TOPICS * Product configurators for mass customization, product catalogues * Ad hoc generating of product data, ad hoc planning * IT support for inter-company communication and coordination * Web-based techniques, E-Commerce approaches, XML, XML/EDI * Virtual enterprises for mass customization * Procurement automation * Supply chain management * Production networks * Intelligent planning/coordination, multi-agent systems * Case studies * Service individualization * Mass customization concepts
SUBMISSIONS Prospective authors are requested to either send a draft paper (maximum 7 pages) or an extended abstract for review. All submissions must be written in English and must include the title of the workshop. Please refer to the congress Web page
