Motivation
----------
The digital revolution has just begun. Globalization, increasing
competitive pressure, mergers and acquisitions and, above all, new
technological innovations force many enterprises to undergo drastic
changes that cannot be coped with traditional change and
restructuring programs.
Flexibility has become the new guiding principle for companies and
requires flexible structures and business processes based on modern
IT-infrastructures. At the core of this change processes are inter-
organizational systems (IOS) which enable the integration of business
processes between companies thus increasing flexibility of the
business system and improving inter-company collaboration in value
networks.
Those inter-organizational information systems are enabled by
innovations in information and communication technologies, primarily
the emergence of the Internet. However, many current practice
initiatives in this field have not fully met expectations. One of
the main reasons for this can be found in a lack of proven procedures
to define cross-enterprise business processes and in the high level
of complexity associated with the modeling of large value networks.
Goal
----
The objective of this workshop is to gather researchers working on
different emerging topics concerning inter-organizational systems
and cross-enterprise collaboration, covering issues ranging from
modeling, conception and realization of inter-company application
systems to standards and integration of application systems. The
goal of the workshop is to present innovative research approaches,
especially around the questions of
* How should cross-enterprise business processes be modeled?
* How should IOS be modeled, designed and implemented?
* How should respective business semantics be defined and what are
the respective challenges in e-business standardization?
Topics of interest to this workshop include, but are not limited to:
Cross-enterprise business processes, e.g.
* Modeling cross-enterprise business processes (methodology, tools,
etc.)
* Reference models for cross-enterprise business processes
* Cross-enterprise workflow management
* Automatic negotiation and assessment of business protocols
IOS modeling, e.g.
* Modeling IOS from cross-enterprise business processes
* Modeling IOS architectures and compositions
* System components, application components, frameworks and
metamodeling
* Comprehensive protocols stacks
* Interoperability, testing and verification
Business semantics and standardization, e.g.
* Methodological standards
* Business domain standards, e.g. accounting, billing, payment,
SCM, purchasing
* Business protocols standards
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
via the following URL:
