CALL FOR PAPERS -- 2012

Important Dates Paper Submission Deadline: 30th September 2012 Acceptance notification: 07th October 2012 Workshop: 15h December 2012 from 8:30 AM -- 05:00 PM

Workshop Objectives The primary objective of the workshop is to provide an open and constructive discussion forum of important Enterprise Systems research that addresses topics relating to the Enterprise Systems Lifecycle Management. Moreover, the organizing committee intends to employ the workshop to identify new Enterprise Systems research domains, issues of Enterprise Systems researchers, share and develop Enterprise Systems curricula and to share and develop innovative approaches of ES research.

Topics We welcome papers on conceptual and empirical research, as well as teaching cases, other ES curriculum material, and papers that examine research methods appropriate for ES research. We encourage submissions from researchers representing all ontological perspectives. Our intention is to provide a forum for bringing together researchers and educators with similar interests both to share their current work and to plan future directions for the field. We also hope to stimulate future collaboration in both research and curriculum development.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* ES Technology * Technologies and Tools in Enterprise Systems (ES) * Technology Enhancements, e.g. RFID, Web Services, Virtual Reality, Mobile Applications, Portal * Technology, and Workflow Management * Integrating SCM, CRM and SRM technologies ("ERP II") * Integrating Business Process Modeling Tools to ES * Business Intelligence and Knowledge Management in ES * Integrating Legacy and Specialist Systems with Enterprise Systems * Integrating Product Data Management Systems and Product Lifecycle Systems

ES Organizational Issues

* ES selection and adoption * ES post-implementation challenges, issues and critical success factors * Organizational Change, Culture and Organizational Learning * Organizational and Business Impacts of ES * Business Benefit Evaluation and Realization * Total costs of ownership of ES * Organizational issues related to the integration of ES and IT infrastructures * Inter and Intra- organizational interaction of ES

Extended Enterprise Systems

* New directions in Enterprise Systems * Supply chain management and Enterprise Systems * Customer relationship management and Enterprise Systems * Inter-organizational Enterprise Systems * Extended Enterprise Systems selection, implementation and usage issues * Costs and benefits of extended Enterprise Systems

ES Learning and Education

* ES approaches to innovative curriculum, business, and engineering programs * Empirical evidence of ES Learning Outcomes * Theory based development of ES Learning and Educating * Research reports on utilizing ES in a research lab environment * Evaluation of educational approaches * Teaching case studies * New and emerging "general concepts, principals, and theories"

Future Enterprise Architecture

* Reference architectures or innovative architectures on business, organizational, and systems level * Benefits and risks of development, implementation, and use of enterprise architecture * Interplay between enterprise architecture and IT infrastructure * Tools and standards for enterprise architectures * The role of the enterprise architecture in the formation of strategic alliances * Alignment of business, process and IS architecture * Quality control for architecture artifact development and maintenance

Submission Guidelines Authors are encouraged to submit papers on high quality research (completed, research in progress and issues and opinion research) that are original. The authors are required to identify the mini-track that they wish to submit in the cover page of the submission.

Completed Research: Maximum length: 5000 words including all titles, abstracts, figures, tables, but exclude references. Research in Progress: Maximum length: 3000 words including all titles, abstracts, figures, tables, but exclude references.

Formatting: All submissions must be formatted for 8 x 11 inch page (1 inch = 2.5 cm) and have 1 inch margins all around. Please use Times New Roman 12-point font with double spacing for the body of the paper.

File Formats: Word and PDF file formats will be accepted.

Submissions will undergo a blind review process. All authors should agree to provide timely reviews of at most two other submissions, if requested. Submission: Manuscripts should be submitted as email attachments to the workshop program co-chair: Darshana Sedera (d.sedera@qut.edu.au), with the subject heading "Enterprise Systems Workshop Submission." Authors can use the body of the email as the cover letter for the submission and should ensure that their identities do not appear in any part of the manuscript. The first page of the manuscript should have a title, the type of the submission (complete research, issues and opinion, or research in progress), total word count of the submission, an abstract of 200
