CALL FOR PAPERS 1st International Workshop on Advanced Enterprise Modelling - AEM 2017 In conjunction with ICEIS 2017 - the 19th International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems, Porto, Portugal, 26 - 29 April 2017

Workshop website:http://www.iceis.org/AEM.aspx

SCOPE OF WORKSHOP The operating environment of most organizations or enterprises today is increasingly complex and changing rapidly. Leading technology discussions today often refer to the emerging and disruptive technology trends that would dramatically alter our socio-technical and socio-economic landscape in the near future. Technologies, techniques and methodologies that can assist enterprises with not only positioning for disruptive environments but also harnessing of potential benefits provided by the fast changing operating environment, such as included in enterprise architecture and engineering, are increasingly important. A core component of any enterprise approach are the models that need to be developed in order to understand, organize, simulate, design, communicate, implement and integrate all aspects of the enterprise that are embodied in its elements (people, processes, applications, etc.), their relationships to each other and to the environment, and the principles guiding its design and evolution.

TOPICS OF INTEREST The 1st International Workshop on Advanced Enterprise Modelling (AEM 2017) aims to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to share research and experiences and discuss emerging developments in advanced enterprise modelling. The Workshop Chairs therefore invite authors to submit original research and development papers on topics of interest in advanced enterprise modelling that include, but are not limited to:

Modelling approaches/methods: . Agile methods for enterprise modelling and enterprise architecture . Enterprise ontologies . Ontologies and enterprise modelling . Domain-specific modelling languages . Enterprise models with formal semantics . Rule systems in enterprise modelling . Meta-modelling for enterprises and enterprise information systems . Enterprise systems engineering . Interoperability of (models for) enterprise information systems.

Modelling for specific domains/fields of study: . Modelling knowledge work . Decision modelling and decision management . Business capability modelling . Enterprise modelling for business-IT alignment . Enterprise interoperability . Interoperability in enterprise information systems . Conceptual modelling for enterprises and enterprise architecture . Modelling organisational change.

IMPORTANT DATES . Paper Submission: January 26, 2017 . Authors Notification: February 13, 2017 . Camera Ready and Registration: February 27, 2017

TYPES OF PAPERS Two types of papers will be considered for AEM 2017: Regular Papers and Position Papers.

Regular Papers . Submission: It is recommended that Regular Papers are submitted for review with around 8 to 10 pages, with the appropriate font size and page format, including references, tables, graphs, images and appendices. Submissions with less than 4 pages or more than 13 pages will be automatically rejected. . Acceptance: After a double-blind peer review, qualifying Regular Papers may be accepted as either Full Papers or Short Papers. Regular Papers classified as Full Papers will be assigned a 12-page limit in the Workshop Proceedings, while Regular Papers classified as Short Papers have an 8-page limit.

Position Papers . Submission: Position Papers should be submitted for review with around 6 or 7 pages, with the appropriate font size and page format, including references, tables, graphs, images and appendices. Submissions with less than 4 pages or more than 9 pages will be automatically rejected. . Acceptance: After a double-blind peer review, qualifying Position Papers will be accepted as Short Papers. Regular Papers will be assigned an 8-page limit in the Workshop Proceedings.

PAPER SUBMISSION . Prospective authors are invited to submit papers in any of the topics or paper categories or related fields listed above. . Instructions for preparing the manuscript (in Word and Latex formats) are available at:http://www.iceis.org/Templates.aspx . Please also check the Guidelines:http://www.iceis.org/Guidelines.aspx . Papers should be submitted electronically via the link to the web-based submission system provided at:http://www.iceis.org/AEM.aspx

REVIEWING PROCESS . All reviews are based on submissions of full papers (not abstracts) following a double-blind process. All papers are subject to plagiarism analysis using a software tool prior to review. . All regular papers are reviewed by at least two reviewers, but usually by three or more, and rated considering their: Relevance, Originality, Technical Quality, Significance and Presentation; The reviewers are also asked to answer a group of questions that may help the authors to improve the paper, should it be accepted, namely: Abstract and Introduction are adequate?, Needs more experimental results?, Needs comparative evaluation?, Improve critical discussion?, Figures are Adequate?, Conclusions/Future Work are convincing?, References are up-to-date and appropriate?, Paper formatting needs adjustment?, Improve English? . Finally, the reviewers can provide some free text observations which was given to the authors and also some free text private observations, made available only to the program chair. Conflicting reviews may require assignment of a new reviewer. In the end the program chairs decide. The author has a period for rebuttal, which triggers a workflow involving the chairs and the reviewers if necessary. All rebuttals are answered but decisions are final. . Position papers follow a similar process but the criteria used for classification are slightly different in order to account for the nature of these papers, i.e. speculative ideas and/or ongoing work not yet fully validated.

PUBLICATION After thorough reviewing by the workshop program committee complemented by members of the main conference program committee, all accepted papers will be published in a special section of the ICEIS 2017 conference proceedings book - under an ISBN reference and on CD-ROM support. All papers presented in person at the workshop venue will be available at the SCITEPRESS Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/). SCITEPRESS is a member of CrossRef (http://www.crossref.org/) and every paper is given a DOI (Digital Object Identifier).
