CALL FOR
PAPERS
20th
Americas Conference on Information Systems
Savannah,
Georgia, August 07-10, 2014
Track:
Enterprise systems (SIGEntSys)
Minitrack:
Cloud Operations and Very Large Business
Applications (VLBA)
Instructions
for authors at: AMCIS website(http://amcis2014.aisnet.org/)
================================================================
DESCRIPTION
Emerging
technologies like mash-ups, web 2.0 and cloud
computing on the one side and the increasing
agility of business models on the
other side raises the question how Enterprise
Systems will look like in the
future. Therefore, we see a new class of
Enterprise Systems which address the
need for more agility in the entire value chain
with a loosely coupled system
of distinct elements, orchestrated to a highly
integrated, complex Information
System (Very Large Business Applications, VLBA).
VLBA act as enabler for intra- and interorganisational business processes and play a significant role in the development of new business models. This Mini-Track aims at studying, grounding, and finally exploiting the potential of VLBA to solve integration and coordination problems in distributed business processes as a key enabler of flexible boundaryless information systems.
Key
research questions are:
- how to represent VLBA in service-based information systems by employing and adapting constructs, models, and methods of different information systems technology stacks,
- how to coordinate software services by employing and adapting approaches for service discovery and composition,
- how to operate large-scale, highly distributed enterprise systems aligned with the needs of an agile business environment,
- how to negotiate and agree upon the delivery of software-based services (SLA),
- how to control the delivery of software-based services in VLBA by measuring efficiency and effectiveness?
This
minitrack is continuing the successful start of
the scientific discuss on the topic of VLBA in
an international perspective
from AMCIS 2012 and AMCIS 2013.
SUGGESTED
TOPICS
Topics
relevant for this mini-track include, but are
not limited to, the following:
- Cloud Computing and VLBA
- VLBA Operations Management
- Strategic, tactic and operative Systems Landscape Engineering
- VLBA Business Simulations
- VLBA Business Models
- Analytical Business Process Engineering for VLBA
- VLBA and Knowledge Management
- VLBA security issues
- Innovative VLBA Applications
We invite
contributions from different disciplines
including information systems, information
management, computer and management
science to properly cover all facets of Very
Large Business Applications. We
encourage papers applying quantitative and
qualitative, empirical and
theoretical research methodologies such as case
studies, action research,
surveys, experiments, and design science.
IMPORTANT DATES AND SUBMISSION SITE
All submissions are to be made via the AMCIS 2014 submission system at ScholarOne's ManuscriptCentral <http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2014>.
