Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems have evolved from large monolithic
systems installed on premise to more and more fragmented systems, distributing
just about any aspect of a system: functions, processes, data, hardware
and infrastructure. With the emergence of service-oriented architectures
(SOA), ERP functionality has become available as software-as-a-service
(SaaS), provided on-demand to clients via the Internet.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">This change has gone hand in hand with the
incorporation of more and more business functionality. In addition, ERP-related
solutions such as SCM, SRM and CRM have been integrated, embedded or closely
coupled with the ERP on-demand services. Mobile access to ERP via
smartphones and tablets has created new challenges. Technologies such as
(RFID) have opened up new opportunities for an organization to act and
react in real-time. For the new technologies to be successfully implemented,
security issues need to be resolved, and a satisfactory level of trust
in the technologies has to be created.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">The rationale of this minitrack is exploration
of new technologies that can further enhance enterprise resource planning.
Papers presenting the development of prototypes as a proof of concept are
welcome. Technology-oriented papers should give consideration to the business
value of the proposed approaches or solutions.</font>
