CALL FOR PAPERS

Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS), Savanah, Georgia, USA August 7-10, 2014.

Track: Systems Analysis and Design (SIGSAND)

MiniTrack: Analysis and Design for Service-Oriented Enterprises

 

Description:

 

Enabled by the recent advances in web services, business process automation, service-oriented architectures, and social, mobile and cloud computing, organizations around the world have embarked on the development of the next-generation enterprise infrastructures, referred to by some as "Service-Oriented Enterprises". Essentially, service-oriented enterprises are organizations that take advantage of service-oriented computing to build capability to quickly respond to changing business environment. Gartner termed this as enterprise agility defined as "the ability of an organization to sense environmental change and respond efficiently and effectively to that change." Currently, there are many open research issues related to the analysis and design of the service-oriented enterprises that need attention from the MIS community. This minitrack provides a forum for researchers and practitioners who are interested in presenting their work in this area.
