Workshop "Processes and Modeling in Smart Industries" (ProMoS 2016)
(http://butler.aifb.kit.edu/web/promos/)

a workshop at EDOC 2016 in Vienna (http://edoc2016.univie.ac.at/)

CALL FOR PAPERS
With the advent of new sensor technologies and data processing capabilities, 
new potentials for tackling the challenges of today's business world arise. 
These potentials might help enterprises to better cope with increased customer 
demands, lack of resources, environmental changes, political crises, and ever 
changing social systems. To realize the potentials, concepts for smart 
processes and systems such as "Cyber-physical Systems", "Industry 4.0", 
"Internet of Things" or the "Sensing Enterprise" have been coined. Using these 
concepts in the enterprise and supporting them by enterprise computing systems 
might lead to what we call "Smart Industry". However, making these concepts a 
reality requires handling complexity (due to e.g. diversity and amount of 
distributed sensors, data and stakeholders) and change (due to continuous 
evolution of processes and systems). In the light of these requirements, models 
may play a vital role to handle such complexities and master the dynamics of 
enterprise systems in Smart Industries. Up to now, little is known about the 
systematic creation and use of models to represent, configure and control (i.e. 
act as a proxy for) processes and systems in Smart Industries.

The workshop intends to solicit work from researchers working at the 
intersection of Conceptual Modeling and emerging concepts for enterprise 
systems in Smart Industries. It hence targets a wide spectrum of contributions 
and a large audience.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

     Architectures for model-based systems and processes in Smart Industries
     Models and conceptual studies on using models in Smart Industries
     Core enabling technologies and concepts for models to act as proxies for 
systems and processes
     Technologies such as intelligent agents and smart objects in conjunction 
with models
     Design theories and methods for modeling in Smart Industries
     Modelling of human aspects such as work organization, distribution of 
knowledge and collaboration
     Modelling how processes in Smart Industries affect the environment and the 
community
     Modelling and analyzing business models that arise from Smart Industries
     Case studies demonstrating the practical use of models in Smart Industries
     Empirical research on adoption and acceptance models in Smart Industries
     Utility, benefit and profitability analyses for modelling in Smart 
Industries
     Integrating complex event processing and big data analytics with 
conceptual modeling
     Model-based dependable computing and communications, security aspects

Submission Handling and Publication
The workshop papers will be peer-reviewed. Papers have to be anonymized before 
submitting them. Accepted papers are planned be published as part of the EDOC 
Workshop Proceedings. Two kinds of contributions are sought:
short position papers including tool presentation papers (not to exceed
6 pages) describing particular challenges or experiences relevant to the scope 
of the workshop, and full research papers (not to exceed 12 pages) describing 
novel solutions to the scope of the workshop. Formatting of the papers should 
conform to the IEEE Computer Society Conference Proceedings Format Guidelines. 
All submissions should be in English and papers have to be anonymized before 
submitting them via Easy Chair.
