<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB">Enterprise information systems (EIS) are
large-scale modular software systems, such as ERP, that support and integrate
process information flows, information reporting and business analytics within
and between complex organizations. They provide a technology platform that
enables organizations to integrate their information assets and coordinate
their business processes. As the central nervous system of the organization,
they ensure that information can be shared across all functional departments
and managerial levels. EIS are invaluable because they eliminate the problem of
information fragmentation caused by multiple information systems in an
organization.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span>The CONFENIS series of conferences
offers an annual opportunity to EIS researchers and practitioners to present
recent research or application experiences, to provide feedback to peers, to
set out the vision for future research and developments in the field, and to
create or confirm long-lasting and fruitful collaborations.</p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span>With the theme of CONFENIS 2012 we wish
to emphasize two evolutions in the science and practice of EIS. The first
evolution is the development of more open systems, for instance, the creation
of interoperation between systems from collaborating organizations or the
composition of systems from standard modules and packages offered by different
vendors. The second evolution is the move towards more flexible systems,
meaning easily configurable and adaptable systems based on service-oriented
software architectures, the software as a service business model, cloud
computing infrastructures, and software product line approaches. We therefore
especially welcome Design Science research and technical or evaluation papers
on methods, techniques and technologies to make EIS more transparent, e.g.
research on enterprise modelling, ontology and architecture that would open
up the structure and behaviour of enterprise systems, as well as
empirically-driven research and theoretical, conceptual or even visionary
papers on how flexible EIS solutions can foster business agility and
innovation.</p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span>Apart from research papers, the call for
papers is also open to practice-driven experience reports that reflect upon
openness and flexibility in the context of the acquisition, implementation, use
and management of EIS in organizations. The conference is hosting an industry
& service track aimed at exploring emerging topics in depth. We therefore
particularly welcome contributions from starters, SMEs, social profit
organizations, organizations within non-business sectors or any other kind of
organization that was not targeted by the standard monolithic enterprise system
software packages of the past.</p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span>Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:</p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB"> Enterprise Information System (EIS):

for two different tracks: an academic track that is mainly focused on research
issues in EIS and an industry & service track that is mainly focused on
practical issues in EIS.</p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span>1. Regular research papers (academic
track) report on completed EIS research that complies with rigorous scientific
standards. These papers present original results of completed research studies
with the aim of obtaining feedback from fellow researchers.</p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span>2. Work-in-progress papers (academic
track) are short papers that present the design and preliminary results of ongoing
EIS research studies with the aim of obtaining early feedback and further
guidance from experts and peers. Work-in-progress papers will be evaluated
using the same academic standards as regular research papers (except for
completeness requirements).</p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span>3. Conceptual or visionary papers
(industry & service track) are papers that may target practitioners,
researchers, or both. Their aim is to convey a clear message based on
well-founded arguments, though not necessarily based on the results of specific
scientific studies. The ideas expressed may be driven by experience with the
practice of EIS or research in EIS. These papers will be evaluated mainly for
their readability, innovativeness, and soundness of the ideas expressed.</p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span>4. Experience reports (industry &
service track) describe real-life experiences with EIS that authors wish to
share with fellow practitioners and EIS researchers. They focus on specific
problems and solutions in specific contexts. Their aim may be to help other
practitioners facing similar problems or to solicit help and possible solutions
from other practitioners (or EIS researchers). We especially welcome papers
aiming at following domains</p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB"> media<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB"> healthcare IT <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB"> smes and ERP: from design for large
