  Workshop "Processes and Modeling in Smart Industries" (ProMoS 2016)

  a workshop at EDOC 2016 in Vienna (http://edoc2016.univie.ac.at/)





CALL FOR PAPERS



With the advent of new sensor technologies and data processing capabilities, new potentials for tackling the challenges of today's business world arise. These potentials might help enterprises to better cope with increased customer demands, lack of resources, environmental changes, political crises, and ever changing social systems. To realize the potentials, concepts for smart processes and systems such as "Cyber-physical Systems", "Industry 4.0", "Internet of Things" or the "Sensing Enterprise" have been coined. Using these concepts in the enterprise and supporting them by enterprise computing systems might lead to what we call "Smart Industry". However, making these concepts a reality requires handling complexity (due to e.g. diversity and amount of distributed sensors, data and stakeholders) and change (due to continuous evolution of processes and systems). In the light of these requirements, models may play a vital role to handle such complexities and master the dynamics of enterprise systems in Smart Industries. Up to now, little is known about the systematic creation and use of models to represent, configure and control (i.e. act as a proxy for) processes and systems in Smart Industries.



The workshop intends to solicit work from researchers working at the intersection of Conceptual Modeling and emerging concepts for enterprise systems in Smart Industries. It hence targets a wide spectrum of contributions and a large audience.



Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:



     Architectures for model-based systems and processes in Smart Industries

     Models and conceptual studies on using models in Smart Industries

     Core enabling technologies and concepts for models to act as proxies for systems and processes

     Technologies such as intelligent agents and smart objects in conjunction with models

     Design theories and methods for modeling in Smart Industries

     Modelling of human aspects such as work organization, distribution of knowledge and collaboration

     Modelling how processes in Smart Industries affect the environment and the community

     Modelling and analyzing business models that arise from Smart Industries

     Case studies demonstrating the practical use of models in Smart Industries

     Empirical research on adoption and acceptance models in Smart Industries

     Utility, benefit and profitability analyses for modelling in Smart Industries

     Integrating complex event processing and big data analytics with conceptual modeling

     Model-based dependable computing and communications, security aspects



Submission Handling and Publication

The workshop papers will be peer-reviewed. Papers have to be anonymized before submitting them. Accepted papers are planned be published as part of the EDOC Workshop Proceedings. Two kinds of contributions are sought:

short position papers including tool presentation papers (not to exceed

6 pages) describing particular challenges or experiences relevant to the scope of the workshop, and full research papers (not to exceed 12 pages) describing novel solutions to the scope of the workshop. Formatting of the papers should conform to the IEEE Computer Society Conference Proceedings Format Guidelines. All submissions should be in English and papers have to be anonymized before submitting them via Easy Chair.
