FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
17th Americas Conference on
Information
Systems (AMCIS 2011)
August 4-7, 2011, Detroit, MI, USA
Track: Business Intelligence and
Knowledge
Management
Mini-track: Master Data Management:
Strategies, Concepts and Cases
DESCRIPTION
Master data management is an
application-independent
function which describes and manages the business data resource in
an organization.
It ensures high quality of these data by providing guidelines for
its management
and it creates a common view on the data. Recently, master data
management
received much attention from business. A major reason for this is
the important
role high-quality master data plays with regard to a number of
business
drivers. Among them are compliance to regulatory requirements,
integrated
customer management and the need of a "single source of the truth"
for company-wide reporting purposes. Despite the relevance of
master data
quality, current efforts in practice leave much to be desired.
Moreover,
the topic has been discussed in the information systems (IS)
research area
to a marginal extent only so far. The proposed mini-track
addresses this
gap and aims at giving a forum for novel concepts and research
work in
the following areas:
* Strategies for master data
management
* Master data centric business
scenarios
and use cases
* Cost and benefit analysis for
master
data management
* Application of valuation theories
of master data management
* Organizational concepts for
master
data management
* Human factors in master data
management
* Master data governance
* Master data quality
* Master data security and privacy
aspects
* Master data lifecycle management
* Master data architectures
including
reference architectures and architecture patterns
* Master data management deployment
methods
* Business metadata management
* Standardization activities
* Data modeling for master data
* Master data and
service-orientation
* Software architectures
* Patterns for data distribution
and
data synchronization
* Case studies and applications
* Industry specific aspects of
master
data management
The mini-track chairs welcome
innovative
research papers from both the academic and the practitioners’
community.
