Track:
Organizational Systems and Technology
Minitrack: Organizational
Engineering
Dominated by the behavioral science approach for a long time,
information systems research increasingly acknowledges design
science as a complementary approach. The systematic design of
artifacts is not restricted to information systems components.
Being the conceptual foundations for information systems
requirements, artifacts on the strategic and organizational levels
have to be engineered as well.
Organizational engineering aims at researching concepts, methods
and technology in order to understand, model, develop and analyze
all important aspects of changing organizations.
As a whole, it focuses on understanding the relationships and
dependencies between strategy, business processes and the
supporting information systems. It encompasses several
multi-disciplinary topics, including modeling business goals and
processes, formalizing enterprise ontologies, representing
information system services and identifying best practices and
patterns.
The focus of this track is on approaches which deal with relating
both business and technological aspects of an organization and to
service orientation as an emerging design paradigm. The
organizational engineering track provides an opportunity for
researchers, academics or practitioners interested in
organizational modeling, methodologies and tools to present their
solutions, exchange their ideas and discuss open issues and future
directions.
The organizational engineering minitrack will provide a space for
theoretical and applied research studies on organizational
engineering topics: organizational analysis and modeling,
methodologies and tools. Each area can address a number of
categories, as listed below:
Enterprise Modeling
-
Enterprise modeling, including modeling of business
processes, goals, strategy, information entities, business structure,
support systems, skills and people.
-
Enterprise modeling notations, including formal modeling
methods and notations.
-
Dynamics of enterprise modeling. Approaches for handling
the continuous update and evolution of enterprise models.
-
Temporal aspects of enterprise modeling, including
modeling of dynamic processes and explicit modeling of time within the
enterprise.
-
Enterprise alignment. Methodologies and conceptual
frameworks for analyzing, creating and maintaining the alignment between
enterprise concepts such as strategy, business processes, information,
actors and the support systems and technology.
-
Automatic and assisted generation of enterprise models.
Includes bottom-up, top-down and middle-out methods, models and tools for
assisting the generation of enterprise models.
-
Enterprise model mining, including business process mining
and business information mining.
-
Frameworks and tools for the deployment, execution,
simulation, assessment and performance analysis of enterprise models.
-
Enterprise ontologies.
-
Enterprise model analysis, verification and validation.
Business Process Engineering
-
Business process re-engineering and business process
patterns.
-
Business process analysis and simulation.
-
Analysis and design of process-oriented software
implementations.
-
Specification of intra- and inter-organizational
collaborations and contracts.
Enterprise Integration
-
Business integration and enterprise application
integration.
-
Service design. Process services, enterprise services and
application services.
