5th International Workshop on BUSiness/IT Alignment and Interoperability BUSITAL'10 June 7th 2010

http://www.info.fundp.ac.be/BUSITAL2010/

On behalf of the organizing Committee, we would like to invite you to submit a paper for the 5th International Workshop on Business/IT Alignment and Interoperability BUSITAL'10 to be held, in conjunction with the CAISE'10 conference, at Hammamet, Tunisia during Monday June 7th 2010.

Scope and Purpose

Organizations are today becoming more and more dependent on their information systems and IT-based support systems to realize their business strategies, building value networks with partners, and managing their resources effectively. But ensuring that their IT investments are well aligned is not easy. Such alignment is a critical early stage activity to understand how information systems contribute to business strategy and to set directions for the development and maintenance processes that follow. Its requires a good understanding and solving of issues at all levels ranging from information technology issues, through organizational issues up to business and strategic issues, and the ability to rapidly, smoothly and consistently adapt all these.

A number of frameworks and methods have been designed to help managers in aligning business and IT. Recently, novel methods and techniques based on conceptual and enterprise modeling have been proposed to support mutual alignment between business needs and IT solutions.

The overall objective of the workshop is to bring together a larger community (both Information Systems and Information Management) contributing to exploring the benefits, challenges and solutions of business and IT alignment.

Topics of interest:

* Frameworks, techniques and methods for capturing, understanding and representing business strategy and its impact on information systems landscapes;

* Systems, methodologies and frameworks for guiding information system design using relevant information in business strategy models/ definitions, including traceability issues;

* Models, methods, and tools for indicating, analyzing, and measuring alignment ;

* Solutions for guiding information systems evolution and adaptation using relevant information in business strategy models/definitions, including IT governance;

* Case studies and empirical reports on the benefits and costs of alignment;

* Business/IT alignment in organizational networks, including co-creation of value through global networks;

* Alignment issues in Service-Oriented analysis and design.

Important dates

* Papers submission: March 1st, 2010 * Notification of acceptance: April 1st, 2010 * Camera-ready copies: April 9th, 2010 * Workshop: June 7th, 2010
