FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS !!!

18th Americas Conference on Information Systems

Seattle, Washington, August 9-12, 2012 (http://amcis2012.aisnet.org/)

Track: Enterprise systems (SIGEntSys)

Minitrack: Very Large Business Applications

================================================================

DESCRIPTION

Enterprise Systems are an essential part of modern and successful
companies. While looking at the supply chain, multiple aspects of the usage
and impact of Enterprise Systems have been discussed in both scientific and
practice. To pay respect for the current development of 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 the question
arises how Enterprise Systems will look like in the future. Transferring
this recent development into the context of Enterprise Systems we see a new
class of Enterprise Systems which address the need for more agility in the
whole supply chain with a more loosely coupled system of separate elements
combines together to a highly integrated, complex Information Systems.
While this is an emerging topic in Enterprise Systems, we denote these
kinds of Information Systems as Very Large Business Applications (VLBA).

VLBA are acting as an enabler for intra- and interorganisational,
distributed business processes and play a significant role in the
development of new markets and business models therefore. This Mini-Track
aims at studying, grounding, and finally exploiting the potentials of VLBA
to solve integration and coordination problems in inter- and
intraorganisational business processes as a key enabler of flexible
boundary-less information systems.

Key research questions are:

- how to represent VLBA in service-based computing systems by employing and
adopting constructs, models, and methods of the different information
systems technology stacks,

- how to describe VLBA,

- how to coordinate software-based business processes by employing and
adopting approaches for service discovery and service composition,

- how to negotiate and agree upon the delivery of software-based services
with approaches for SLA representation, SLA management, and SLA
negotiation, and

- how to control the delivery of software-based services in VLBA by
measuring their 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 the 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.
