======================CALL F O R P A P E R S=================================== 1st International Workshop on The Social Enterprise - SE 2013 http://www.iceis.org/SE.aspx 3 - 4 July, 2013 - Angers, France In conjunction with the 15th International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems - ICEIS 2013
Submission deadline: April, 9 2013
Scope Today’s enterprises are caught in the middle of a major financial storm that is putting at risk their profit, growth, and even survival. To respond to this storm, the enterprises have launched different initiatives to improve their business processes and align their development strategies with market needs, for example.
Regular enterprise applications like Enterprise Resource Planning and Supply Chain Management implement structured business processes in which the steps to perform are well defined. Basically there is little room for leadership and innovation during the completion of these processes without triggering a complex re-thinking process that usually takes time to implement and see its effects, which is sometimes late and inefficient due to business constant changes. Several decisions are to be made on the fly based on unstructured data that people receive from various sources. Some of these data are part of people's tacit knowledge.
This workshop focuses on online sources (with focus on social applications like social networks and blogs) that illustrate Web 2.0 widespread adoption. Social applications rely on users’ ability and willingness to interact, share, and recommend. However, the richness and complexity of information in these applications pose challenges on how to capture and structure this information for future use while preserving user privacy and information sensitivity. Different studies encourage enterprises to allow their employees to embrace social applications in order to establish and foster contacts with their colleagues, customers, and suppliers.
Topics of Interest This workshop aims at addressing the lack of techniques and guidelines that would enable enterprises to weave social relationships (e.g., collegiality, fairness, and supervision) into their operations. This should lead into business processes in the enterprise that reinforce the fact that employees establish and maintain social networks of contacts, rely on some privileged contacts when needed, and form with other peers strong and long lasting social collaborative groups. In today’s economies, an enterprise’s ability to sustain its growth and competitiveness depends on how well it socially manages its communications with various stakeholders for instance, customers, suppliers, competitors, and partners.
Specific possible topics include (but not limited to): * Service computing for the social enterprise * Standards for the social enterprise * Methods for designing the social enterprise * Semantic technologies for the social enterprise * Privacy and security in the social enterprise * Context management for the social enterprise * Case studies
