CALL FOR PAPERS
19th Americas Conference on Information Systems
Chicago, Illinois, August 15-17, 2013 (http://amcis2013.aisnet.org/)
Track: Enterprise systems (SIGEntSys)
Minitrack: Very Large Business Applications (VLBA) – Issues and Answers
================================================================
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 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?
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.
