1st Workshop: Lowering the adoption barrier of enterprise
modelling
In conjunction with IEEE CBI'14 - Geneva, July 2014
Call for Papers - Lowering the adoption barrier of
enterprise modelling (LABEM)
Important dates
16 March 2014 Paper submission (submission site)
27 April 2014 Notification of acceptance
15 May 2014 Camera-ready copy
Aims
This workshop aims to raise the awareness on human
dimensions immanent to enterprise modelling, and to underline
the need for their better support by modelling technologies.
The success of an enterprise modelling effort heavily
depends on the involvement and participation of a broader
stakeholder group (e.g. process owners, domain experts, key
decision-makers). In this context, models could be considered
to act as boundary objects between different participants’
communities – typically, but not limited to – stakeholders, on
one side, and modelling experts on the other.
To allow for better involvement of such audience in the
enterprise modelling effort, the means used for modelling
(i.e. primarily methods, modelling languages and tools) should
be intuitive and as non-intrusive as possible. It is, however,
a common observation in practice that standard modelling
notations and dedicated tools offer unsatisfactory support
with this regard, as they are rather focused on more technical
aspects of modelling. This not only creates burden to
stakeholder involvement, but also slows down the maturation of
enterprise modelling practices.
Effectively supporting these, inherently human, aspects of
modelling is a tremendous challenge. Nonetheless, there is a
growing research interest in this topic across different
research communities, in particular in software engineering,
information systems, and human-computer interaction. With this
respect, LABEM workshop aims to explore, discuss and elaborate
on challenges related to including human aspects of modelling
into enterprise modelling research agenda.
The workshop is conceived as platform to interactively
discuss how this dimension should be addressed from the
epistemological, methodological, as well as technological
perspective. We also aim to discuss design-oriented approaches
having the potential to lower down the barrier to enterprise
modelling.
Given a cross-disciplinary nature of the topic, we hope to
attract research contributions drawing on the surrounding
disciplines, such as computer science, information systems,
management science, cognitive science, linguistics, etc. In
doing so, our ambition is to foster the development of a
cross-disciplinary community around this research topic.
Topics
We encourage both academics and practitioners to share
their ongoing research, reflections as well as their insights
from practical experiences. The suggested topics include, but
are not limited to:
Philosophical, cognitive and linguistic aspects of
conceptual/enterprise modelling
Adaptability, configurability, extensibility of
modelling languages,
Flexibility of modelling tools
Non-intrusive and intuitive modelling support
Man-model interaction, e.g. tangible modelling,
cognitive aspects of interaction, etc.
Combined use of imprecise and/or incomplete models
with more structured and precise models
Challenges of dealing with incomplete and imprecise
models, relaxed conformance, etc.
Approaches to foster stakeholder involvement,
participation and collaboration in conceptual/enterprise
modelling
Case studies, return on experiences
Event description
LABEM is intended as a highly interactive event and will
be co-located with the 16th IEEE Conference on Business
Informatics (CBI 2014) in Geneva, Switzerland on July 14-17,
2014. As it aims to be an interactive workshop, a short time
will be given to paper presentations. The presentations should
preferably aim at discussion, presenting the problems and
issues related to lowering the adoption barrier of enterprise
modelling.
Paper types
The submissions should describe innovative and significant
original research relevant to the LABEM topics as listed. We
strongly encourage submissions adopting a cross-disciplinary
perspective on the topic. Paper submissions from industry as
well as from young researchers (MSc or PhD researchers) are
also welcomed.
Two types of submissions are invited: regular papers (8
pages) and short papers (4 pages).
Submission guidelines
All papers must be prepared in accordance with the IEEE
camera-ready and should be submitted in PDF format at
labem2014. Work submitted for consideration must not have been
published elsewhere and must not be under review or submitted
for review elsewhere during the duration of consideration.
At least one author of accepted papers is expected to
present the paper at the LABEM workshop.
Proceedings
The workshop proceedings will be included in the IEEE
library alongside the CBI conference proceedings.
