PRESENTATION

 

Innovation is a key enabler for enterprises to compete in

global markets, especially in difficult economic periods.

 

An innovation process is different from a ‘usual’ business

process we find in an enterprise that is (supposedly) well

defined in its activities, committed resources, etc. Innovation

is a creative activity confronted with ‘wicked problems’, i.e.,

problems difficult to solve because of incomplete, contradictory,

changing requirements. The NGEBIS workshop intends to address

the area of business innovation that has been traditionally

considered too fuzzy and ill-defined to be systematically tackled

by using existing information systems and information engineering

methods. We expect that accepted papers will contribute to the

development of methods to be used in the implementation of a new

generation of information systems dedicated to business innovation,

with particular attention to networked enterprises.

 

This year the NGEBIS’13 will be articulated in the following sections:

 

(i)    Presentation oriented section, with peer review papers (12 pages),

to be included in the official CAiSE Workshops proceedings

 

(ii)    Discussion-oriented section, with (a) demos of new tools and

systems, (b) posters, and (c) Emerging Ideas short papers.

The short papers (5 pages) will be published in CEUR e-Proceedings.

 

(iii)    Knowledge Café: composed by 3 rotating parallel panels that

will freely discuss the 3 most hot topics that will emerge during a

3 month WOW Forum. The outcome will be published on CEUR.

 

(iv)    WOW - Window on Online Workshop Forum, for online discussion

on a selected Social Network (such as LinkedIn), that starts 3  months

before the workshop debating to identify the 3 hottest issue among

NGEBIS topics that will be selected for the Knowledge Cafè to be held on site.
