Ontolog
Forum,
For those who
are interested - a reminder. The International Conference on Enterprise
Systems Theory and Theory in Action is fast approaching - Oct 15th-16th. A very strong program has been set and
registration is open. The description
of the conference is reproduced below for your
convenience, and information pertaining to the program and critical registration dates is provided. As
this conference is multi-disciplinary in nature, there is something for most
everyone - including the ontologist. More detailed information can
be found on the conference Web site including
program schedule and paper / presentation abstracts. If there are any questions you may respond directly to
this message or send e-mail to questions@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The "International Conference on
Enterprise Systems Theory, and Theory in Action - 2007" is a
unique multi-disciplinary event,
focused on the formal / empirical representation of enterprises, and networks of
enterprises, as systems in the (general) systems-theoretic
sense.
There
have been many conceptual, logical and technical advances made by
enterprises of various types (e.g. business, government, education, standards
bodies, and communities of practice) that may be considered as partial
solutions, which other enterprises may include as a part. However, those
aspects of the enterprise as a whole system, from which these partial solutions
are derived, have received relatively little attention. This is surprising in
that it is these aspects that may be considered the roots of adaptation and
evolution.
To
address this gap in enterprise system knowledge, it is the intent of the
International Conference on Enterprise Systems Theory and Theory
in Action to provide a forum for the exchange of knowledge concerning
enterprises *as* systems in constantly changing economic,
legal, and technological environments. This conference is focused on:
(1) enterprises *as*
systems in the (general) systems-theoretic sense (systemics and the systems family of
disciplines)
(2) the formal and/or empirical representation of such systems for description, explanation and
prediction (formal / empirical
theory)
(3) the application of theory in
analysis, design and operation of (inter-) enterprise systems and enterprises *as* systems
This exchange of knowledge among participants will initiate
the formation of an open
enterprise systems engineering
discipline, utilizing, merging, and applying concepts and
theories from the systems family of disciplines that includes, but is not
limited to:
as
well as concepts and theories from:
The formal and empirical treatment of
enterprises as holistic systems, merging theories from key disciplines into an (inter-) enterprise systems
theory, has tremendous implications for the
analysis, design and operation of enterprises of all
kinds at strategic, tactical and operational levels: as well as for
enterprise ecosystems, economic and legal ecosystems, industries, communities of practice and
markets. It will enable knowledge and technology to be put into an enterprise context grounded in a
systems theory for enterprises that could potentially enable enterprises to dynamically respond,
adapt and evolve in real-time in the most optimized way with the least risk to changes in economic, legal,
technical, and competitive environments. In addition, an (inter-) enterprise systems theory provides
the theoretical grounding that is required to create an (inter-) enterprise architecture
engineering discipline. Such a theory would provide the foundation for inter- and intra- enterprise
(business and technology) integration, interoperability and collaboration, locally and globally. Such a
theory would also provide a foundation for the
pervasive and ubiquitous application of economics and law within and
between enterprises impacting intra- and
inter-enterprise interactions in the context of imperfect
information.
The scope of this conference includes
those enterprise (sub)systems, virtual and concrete, business and technology,
from which the enterprise emerges, and those (super)systems, that
emerge from inter-enterprise interactions.
In general an enterprise may be considered a business, an educational organization, a government organization, a federation, a set of enterprises bound by law in some fashion, any set of cooperating / collaborating enterprises such as those in GRID systems, emergency management/response systems, standards bodies, etc. Audience
This conference is multi-disciplinary in nature.
The intended audience for this conference includes theorists and practitioners of any discipline with an interest in enterprises *as*
systems, enterprise systems theories, and the application of theory.
