======================================================================== Call for Papers: 4th International Workshop on Data Engineering Issues in E-Commerce and Services (DEECS 2009)

========================================================================
Workshop Theme ============== As part of their e-business activities, enterprises create, share, recombine, and process an ever increasing amount of data and documents that range from simple transactional data to complex business process definitions. In many respective processes, multiple spheres overlap, e.g., (1) inter- with intra-organizational data sources in collaborative processes, (2) master data with transactional data, (3) regular data with behavioral aspects of processes, or (4) facts with normative assertions. Since business entities are members of multiple value chains, same as data sources are often used in multiple contexts and processes, there are often conflicting requirements on the representation of such data. At the same time, enterprise computing infrastructures are currently transforming into service-oriented systems; this change has severe consequences as well as offers opportunities for the data management processes.
All this in combination makes data engineering in e-commerce and service- oriented computing a very challenging task, already at the level of a single company but even more in value chains. Also, respective modeling choices may have long-lasting and far reaching impact, and affect (1) operational efficiency, (2) business process agility, (3) the range of analytical tasks for decision support, and (4) strategic options. Eventually, those choices determine the current and future degree of automation in content and process integration.
While e-business standards in general help, standardization alone does not solve the problem. This is because yielding a consensual representation takes time, consumes resources, and constrains an entity�s ability to capture individual details. Moreover, the cost of implementing and enforcing the standards is sometimes prohibitive for small businesses. Proprietary representations, on the other hand, hamper interoperability, and complicate B2B integration. In service-oriented architectures (SOAs), this complexity is further increased by the behavioral dimension of e-business interactions, e.g., services choreography and orchestration.
This workshop aims at providing a venue for discussion and the exchange of ideas on data and knowledge engineering issues in the dynamic environment of e-business, enterprise computing, and business services and transformation. The relation to CEC 2009 is that it addresses a core problem in enterprise computing. In the format of an interactive workshop, it focuses the intersection of three main areas: data engineering, knowledge engineering, and business process management.
Topics ====== In particular, we are inviting full and short papers, posters, and hands-on demonstrations on the following topics:
- Business data integration - Business data management - Business decision support - Business intelligence - Business modeling and analysis - Business process integration - Business process management - Business process monitoring - Business process intelligence - Case studies and applications - Corporate knowledge management - Customer relationship management (CRM) - Data-intensive decision support systems - E-commerce content - E-commerce standards - Enterprise application integration - E-procurement and e-sourcing - Folksonomies and collaborative tagging in business applications - Logistics data engineering - Ontologies and use of Semantic Web technology - Product data management - Product lifecycle management - Product specification standardization - Semantic business process management - Semantic Web Services - Sensors and actuators - Service-oriented architectures (SOAs) - Service-level agreements and their specification along and across value chains - Supply chain management - Ubiquitous / context-aware services - Web services
Paper Submission and Publication ================================
We are inviting the submission of - full papers (up to 8 pages), - position papers (up to 5 pages), - posters (2-page extended abstracts or final posters), and - hands-on demonstrations (2-page descriptions of the demo) describing original research on the listed or related topics.
Please follow the IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings Author Guidelines to prepare your papers using the 8.5'' x 11'', two-column format.
Submissions must be in the form of PDF documents using our electronic submission system, which will be available at
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=deecs2009
shortly.
At least one author is required to attend the workshop and present the work. Attendance of the workshop requires registration to the main CEC'09 conference.
Full papers will be published in the regular conference proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Press and will be included in the IEEE Digital Library.
Review Process ============== Each paper will typically be reviewed by three members of the Program Committee. Reviewers will score submissions according to their contribution, originality/novelty, technical depth/merit, and quality of presentation. For short position papers, clarity of exposition and the degree of innovation will be sufficient, while for full papers, a clear technical contribution is expected.
Important Dates ===============
