[Amjad Adib]

Dear Researcher,

Please consider sending your contribution to OR60 'Anniversary' Conference - Enterprise Modelling and Simulation Stream

11 – 13 SEPTEMBER 2018


    Submit Title/Abstract<http://www.theorsociety.com/Pages/Conferences/OR60/OR60Abstract.aspx>


Lancaster University, Lancaster. LA1 4YW UK

http://www.theorsociety.com/Pages/Conferences/OR60/OR60.aspx

http://www.theorsociety.com/Pages/Conferences/OR60/Streams/OR60EnterpriseMod.aspx

There is usually only one or two Keynote speaker per stream and is usually given an hour to present their paper, so we have to select from the submitted papers. The Keynote speaker can send a full printed copy of their paper, by email to the OR60 Keynote Editor on the OR60 committee.http://www.theorsociety.com/Pages/Conferences/OR60/OR60Committee.aspx. If the Keynote speaker does not want to send a full copy of their paper, they can send a shorter extended abstract version instead. Any full Keynote papers or extended abstracts we receive will be published in our Keynote Handbook, (assuming we are sent enough of them), indexed with ISBN and Scopus.  All other speakers are only asked to submit online a title and short abstract (maximum 300 words). And if accepted a shorter time presentation or poster will be allocated.
For submission: http://www.theorsociety.com/Pages/Conferences/OR60/OR60.asp
We look forward to welcoming you in Lancaster University






Enterprise modelling and simulation for operation excellence

Enterprise modelling (EM) refers to a practical research area where formal conceptual modelling techniques are used to model functional, behavioural and structural aspects of the holistic enterprise or a number of enterprises interacting with each other within their context. Initially, EM practices were emerged to contribute of the development of the information systems (IS) and enterprise software applications, but in recent years EM has been used heavily for imposing standard business practices, improve business IT-alignment, offer a blueprint for the enterprise design, process re-engineering, and operation optimisation (Sandkuhl, Stirna, Persson et al. 2014; Lankhorst 2103). The role of simulation in conjunction with EM techniques has also provided the means for efficient and effective enterprise design (Fayoumi 2016; Fayoumi and Loucopoulos 2016; Loucopoulos and Kavakli 2016). Nowadays, strategic planning, tactical choices and operation design became embedded in the enterprise modelling and simulation techniques. Approaches like capability-driven enterprise modelling (Loucopoulos and Kavakli 2016; Loucopoulos and Kavakli 2016), and multi-perspective enterprise modelling (Heise, Strecker and Frank 2014; Heß, Kaczmarek, Frank et al. 2015; Bock and Frank 2016) are proposed to tackle enterprise-wide re-engineering and transformation issues. While other reported interesting findings in virtual manufacturing processes modelling (Buchmann and Karagiannis 2015), process reengineering (Winter 2010) and regulation compliance analysis (Karagiannis, Mylopoulos and Schwab 2007).

We believe this research theme represents an essential extension of the operation management and operation research, and we would like to invite authors to contribute to the stream by submitting and presenting either a novel application, theoretical advancement or impact case that are relevant but not limited to one the following topics:

  *   -          Enterprise modelling and simulation frameworks and tools
  *   -          Business process modelling, quality or optimisation
  *   -          Advanced applications of BPMN or EPC for process improvement
  *   -          Rule-based approach for quality business governance and control
  *   -          Decision modelling, techniques and notations for complex enter or intra enterprise decision-making
  *   -          Temporal, geographical or social extension of enterprise modelling languages with a focus on operation or strategy aspects
  *   -          Process mining cases with impact on business improvement
  *   -          Dynamic, discrete or agent based simulation for enterprise design
  *   -          Design methods for operation and strategic reasoning
  *   -          Resource modelling and handling
  *   -          Capability oriented modelling
  *   -          Requirements and specifications of domain specific business operation or strategy
  *   -          Design thinking for enterprise design and strategic/operation innovation
  *   -          Enterprise modelling for change management and transformation
  *   -          Enterprise architecture tools, methods and applications
  *   -          Enterprise modelling for sustainability
