AMCIS 2013 CFP Mini-Track: Current Trends in ERP Chicago, Illinois, USA, August 15-17, 2013
Deadline for submissions: 22nd of February 2013
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems have evolved from large monolithic systems installed on premise to more and more fragmented systems, distributing just about any aspect of a system: functions, processes, data, hardware and infrastructure. With the emergence of service-oriented architectures (SOA), ERP functionality has become available as software-as-a-service (SaaS), provided on-demand to clients via the Internet.
This change has gone hand in hand with the incorporation of more and more business functionality. In addition, ERP-related solutions such as SCM, SRM and CRM have been integrated, embedded or closely coupled with the ERP on-demand services. Mobile access to ERP via smartphones and tablets has created new challenges. Technologies such as (RFID) have opened up new opportunities for an organization to act and react in real-time. For the new technologies to be successfully implemented, security issues need to be resolved, and a satisfactory level of trust in the technologies has to be created.
The rationale of this minitrack is exploration of new technologies that can further enhance enterprise resource planning. Papers presenting the development of prototypes as a proof of concept are welcome. Technology-oriented papers should give consideration to the business value of the proposed approaches or solutions.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Service-oriented architecture (SOA) and other architectures for ERP * ERP-as-a-service, i.e. software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions for ERP * Impact of virtualization and infrastructure-as-a-service on ERP * ERP for small and medium-size enterprises * Integrating ERP and Office solutions * Integrating RFID solutions with ERP * Impact of the "Internet of things" on future ERP systems * Integrating legacy ERP systems with state-of-the-art components * Mobile ERP and related areas (e.g. mobile SCM, mobile CRM, mobile SRM) * Security issues and trust in new technologies for enterprise resource planning * Emerging technologies and tools that enhance Enterprise Systems * Integration of collaboration and social networking technologies with Enterprise Systems * Social) Business process modelling tools that help in modelling Enterprise Systems processes * Solutions that leverage Enterprise Systems and real-time data analytics * Technology challenges in implementing and managing Enterprise Systems solutions that leverage the latest technology trends
* Important dates:* February 22, 2013 Deadline for paper submissions April 22, 2013 Notification of acceptance May 9, 2013 Final copy due * Instructions for authors:* The entire paper should be no more than 5,000 words, including all materials and sections such as figures, tables, and references.
