About FAiSE

Due to the recent developments of digital systems, IoT-technologies and the uptake of the digitalization wave in industries, massive amount of data and events are being continuously generated and are readily available. These data can be used by organizations to provide smarter and personalized services and products to people and organizations, as well as to improve the efficiency of their work and the value of their business models.

The first workshop on Flexible Advanced Information Systems aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners interested in the synergies of the IoT, innovative technologies, and advanced information systems in an effort to identify and define concepts and approaches exploiting the advances in IoT towards enabling flexible information systems.

Scope

Due to the recent development of digital systems, IoT-technologies and the uptake of the digitalization wave in industries, massive amount of data and events are being continuously generated and are readily available. These data can be used by organizations to provide smarter and personalized services and products to people and organizations, as well as to improve the efficiency of their work and the value of their business models. The new challenges that information systems are facing in this context are related to both being able to exploit the data stemming from the IoT and the ability to react fast to the changes notified by these data.

Therefore the main purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum for discussions on the synergies of the IoT, innovative technologies, and advanced information systems and thus encourage exchange between researchers and practitioners towards identifying concepts and approaches supporting the exploitation of advances in IoT towards enabling flexible information systems. We are especially interested in the reconciliation of the divide between any of the following areas:
  • Digitalization and IoT for smarter and personalized services to people and organizations
  • Flexible Information systems that allow organizations to maintain control and react to constant changes in competitive, rapidly changing environments
  • Data-driven process performance improvement - data analytics and its integration into flexible advanced information systems

Topics

  • Synergies and Integration of Information Systems and IoT, through e.g. event processing, monitoring, flexibility and other approaches
  • Flexible information systems - engineering aspects and methodologies, techniques and infrastructures
  • Data-driven processes - e.g. modelling, execution, monitoring and flexibility aspects
  • Advanced Information Systems design and engineering principles for data-driven process performance improvement
  • Flexible design and/or execution of processes using different approaches and technologies
  • Lessons learned and case studies showing success stories of synergies between Information Systems, IoT and Business Process Management

Submission

  • Formal/technical papers, describing original theoretical, methodological or conceptual solutions within the named topics.
  • Empirical/industrial papers, describing present problems or challenges encountered in practice, relate success and failure stories, or report industrial practices.

All submissions must be unpublished and not be under review elsewhere. Papers must be written in English and strictly following Springer LNBIP style. For formatting instructions and templates, please see the Springer Web page: http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-791344-0

The page limit for submitted papers is 12 pages. Papers have to be submitted in PDF format using the submission page in EasyChair.

Accepted papers will be published in the CAiSE 2017 Workshop Proceedings, in Springer Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP, indexed in ISI Proceedings, DBLP, EI and Scopus). At least one author of an accepted paper should register for the conference and present the paper.
