=================================================================== LAST CALL FOR PAPERS "International Workshop on Modeling Inter-Organizational Systems focusing on Collaboration and Interoperability, Architectures and Ontologies" (MIOS-CIAO 2006) http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf/index.html?page=mios2006cfp 31 Oct - 1 Nov 2006 Montpellier, France In conjunction with the federated conferences "On The Move to Meaningful Internet Systems and Ubiquitous Computing 2006" (OTM 2006) http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf/ Proceedings published by Springer LNCS =================================================================== Motivation ---------- Modern enterprises face a strong economical pressure to increase competitiveness, to operate on a global market, and to engage in alliances of several kinds. Agility thus has become the new guiding principle for enterprises. This requires flexible organizational structures and business processes, as well as flexible supporting information systems and a flexible ICT-infrastructure. In addition, an enterprise needs to be able to easily expand or shrink, be it through collaborations with other enterprises, through mergers or acquisitions, or through insourcing or outsourcing of services. In order to meet these economical requirements, enterprises rely increasingly on the benefits of modern information and communication technology (ICT). However, the appropriate knowledge to deploy this technology as needed, and in an effective and efficient way, is largely lacking, particularly knowledge regarding the collaboration in and between enterprises and knowledge regarding the interoperability of their information systems. Up to last year, several successful MIOS workshops (Modeling Inter-Organizational Systems) have been held. Based on the inspiring experience of the 2005 workshop, the 2006 workshop will again be a real workshop, providing ample time for discussions, during two days. Consequently, the paper presentations will be short, covering only the highlights. In addition, the focus will be on CIAO: the problems areas Collaboration and Interoperability, and the application of Architecture and Ontology in dealing with them. Goal ---- We want to gather researchers working on topics concerning inter- and intra-enterprise collaboration, and concerning the interoperability of information systems, covering issues like business process modeling, information systems modeling, enterprise and system ontology, enterprise and system architecture. The goal of the workshop is to share innovative research issues, and to facilitate profound discussions about them. Topics of interest to this workshop include, but are not limited to: * Modeling cross-enterprise business processes * Reference models for cross-enterprise business processes * Collaboration theories (e.g., the language-action-perspective) * Enterprise ontologies * Ontology-based business interactions * Enterprise branche specific ontologies * Enterprise architectures * Cross-enterprise workflow management * Business rules and business protocols * Business protocols standards * Deriving IOS from cross-enterprise business processes * Information system ontologies * Information system architectures * Component-based system development * Business components and metamodeling * Ontology-oriented web services (Pragmatic Web) * Interoperability testing and verification * Methodological standards * Business domain standards, e.g., accounting, billing, payment, SCM, purchasing Submission Requirements ----------------------- We are looking for articles on current or recently finished research projects as well as articles from practitioners. Papers should contain 3000 - 5000 words and should be submitted in PS, PDF or MS-Word format. Accepted papers will be published along with the OTM 2006 Workshop Proceedings on Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Author instructions and style sheets can be found at the Springer site (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Failure to commit to presentation at the workshop automatically excludes a paper from the proceedings. The authors of the best workshop papers will be invited to send an extended version of the paper to be published in the Journal of Enterprise Information Management.
