CALL FOR PAPERS
1st International Workshop on Advanced Enterprise Modelling - AEM 2017 In
conjunction with ICEIS 2017 - the 19th International Conference on
Enterprise Information Systems, Porto, Portugal, 26 - 29 April 2017

Workshop website: http://www.iceis.org/AEM.aspx


SCOPE OF WORKSHOP
The operating environment of most organizations or enterprises today is
increasingly complex and changing rapidly. Leading technology discussions
today often refer to the emerging and disruptive technology trends that
would dramatically alter our socio-technical and socio-economic landscape in
the near future. Technologies, techniques and methodologies that can assist
enterprises with not only positioning for disruptive environments but also
harnessing of potential benefits provided by the fast changing operating
environment, such as included in enterprise architecture and engineering,
are increasingly important. A core component of any enterprise approach are
the models that need to be developed in order to understand, organize,
simulate, design, communicate, implement and integrate all aspects of the
enterprise that are embodied in its elements (people, processes,
applications, etc.), their relationships to each other and to the
environment, and the principles guiding its design and evolution.


TOPICS OF INTEREST
The 1st International Workshop on Advanced Enterprise Modelling (AEM 2017)
aims to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to share
research and experiences and discuss emerging developments in advanced
enterprise modelling. The Workshop Chairs therefore invite authors to submit
original research and development papers on topics of interest in advanced
enterprise modelling that include, but are not limited to:

Modelling approaches/methods:
. Agile methods for enterprise modelling and enterprise architecture .
Enterprise ontologies . Ontologies and enterprise modelling .
Domain-specific modelling languages . Enterprise models with formal
semantics . Rule systems in enterprise modelling . Meta-modelling for
enterprises and enterprise information systems . Enterprise systems
engineering . Interoperability of (models for) enterprise information
systems.

Modelling for specific domains/fields of study:
. Modelling knowledge work
. Decision modelling and decision management . Business capability modelling
. Enterprise modelling for business-IT alignment . Enterprise
interoperability . Interoperability in enterprise information systems .
Conceptual modelling for enterprises and enterprise architecture . Modelling
organisational change.


IMPORTANT DATES
. Paper Submission: January 26, 2017
. Authors Notification: February 13, 2017 . Camera Ready and Registration:
February 27, 2017


TYPES OF  PAPERS
Two types of papers will be considered for AEM 2017: Regular Papers and
Position Papers.

Regular Papers
. Submission: It is recommended that Regular Papers are submitted for review
with around 8 to 10 pages, with the appropriate font size and page format,
including references, tables, graphs, images and appendices. Submissions
with less than 4 pages or more than 13 pages will be automatically rejected.
. Acceptance: After a double-blind peer review, qualifying Regular Papers
may be accepted as either Full Papers or Short Papers. Regular Papers
classified as Full Papers will be assigned a 12-page limit in the Workshop
Proceedings, while Regular Papers classified as Short Papers have an 8-page
limit.

Position Papers
. Submission: Position Papers should be submitted for review with around 6
or 7 pages, with the appropriate font size and page format, including
references, tables, graphs, images and appendices. Submissions with less
than 4 pages or more than 9 pages will be automatically rejected.
. Acceptance: After a double-blind peer review, qualifying Position Papers
will be accepted as Short Papers. Poistion Papers will be assigned an 8-page
limit in the Workshop  Proceedings.


PAPER SUBMISSION
. Prospective authors are invited to submit papers in any of the topics or
paper categories or related fields listed above.
. Instructions for preparing the manuscript (in Word and Latex formats) are
available at: http://www.iceis.org/Templates.aspx
. Please also check the Guidelines: http://www.iceis.org/Guidelines.aspx
. Papers should be submitted electronically via the link to the web-based
submission system provided at: http://www.iceis.org/AEM.aspx


REVIEWING PROCESS
. All reviews are based on submissions of full papers (not abstracts)
following a double-blind process. All papers are subject to plagiarism
analysis using a software tool prior to review.
. All regular papers are reviewed by at least two reviewers, but usually by
three or more, and rated considering their: Relevance, Originality,
Technical Quality, Significance and Presentation;
The reviewers are also asked to answer a group of questions that may help
the authors to improve the paper, should it be accepted, namely: Abstract
and Introduction are adequate?, Needs more experimental results?, Needs
comparative evaluation?, Improve critical discussion?, Figures are
Adequate?, Conclusions/Future Work are convincing?, References are
up-to-date and appropriate?, Paper formatting needs adjustment?, Improve
English?
. Finally, the reviewers can provide some free text observations which was
given to the authors and also some free text private observations, made
available only to the program chair. Conflicting reviews may require
assignment of a new reviewer. In the end the program chairs decide. The
author has a period for rebuttal, which triggers a workflow involving the
chairs and the reviewers if necessary. All rebuttals are answered but
decisions are final.
. Position papers follow a similar process but the criteria used for
classification are slightly different in order to account for the nature of
these papers, i.e. speculative ideas and/or ongoing work not yet fully
validated.


PUBLICATION
After thorough reviewing by the workshop program committee complemented by
members of the main conference program committee, all accepted papers will
be published in a special section of the ICEIS 2017 conference proceedings
book - under an ISBN reference and on CD-ROM support.
All papers presented in person at the workshop venue will be available at
the SCITEPRESS Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/).
SCITEPRESS is a member of CrossRef (http://www.crossref.org/) and every
paper is given a DOI (Digital Object Identifier).
