4.1 Brief on support for interaction in 8.1 (John Krogstie)

A LinkedIn Group ( http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=2030771&trk=hb_side_gb ) has been established, both open for the 8.1 group, and also for friends of the group, to be used for discussions, and possible also to provide workspaces for cooperations (e.g. linking to Huddle workspaces available through LinkedIn). IFIP centrally is planning to set up a wiki or similar to support arrangements of events, and we will look at this before providing support for this specifically within 8.1.

Currently 40 + members is present, will invite additional members (to Linkedin and the group) this summer.

4.2 Report on Poem 2009 (Jelena Zdravkovic) http://poem.dsv.su.se/

In total 41 papers was submitted, out of which 24 were research papers, 12 idea papers, 5 experience papers and 1 evaluation paper. The initial paper deadline was extended by five days. 17 papers were accepted. Proceedings by Springer LNBIP, no 39.

The highest number of authors involved in submissions came from The Netherlands (10) and Sweden (9).

Program: Two keynotes by practitioners in the field of EM (Håvard Jørgensen (Norway) and Christer Nellborn), paper sessions and joint discussion sections. The more interactive format seemed to be appreciated by the participants.

Attendees: 54 on the registration list, including the organizers. About 1/3 from Sweden, the rest mostly from Europe. Nine participants came from industry

IFIP TC8 sponsored travel and accommodation of three doctoral students.

4.3 Report on EMMSAD'10 (Erik Proper) http://www.emmsad.org/

AOB

Suggestion and discussion relative to make more impact through reports and publications. Can be organized as different task group relative to terminology, research challenges etc in selected areas relevant for 8.1: The different initiatives needs a dedicated leader, interested people should bring up ideas to John Krogstie and the leader group for follow-up.

Note that it do not have to be as monumental as FRISCO, other possibilities are state of the art - articles in selected areas, or outlining the research area (see e.g. the MOBIS-article: Krogstie, J., K. Lyytinen, A.L. Opdahl, B. Pernici, K. Siau, and K. Smolander, Research Areas and Challenges for Mobile Information Systems. International Journal of Mobile Communication, 2004. 2(3).) http://inderscience.metapress.com/app/home/contribution.asp?referrer=parent&backto=issue,1,8;journal,33,38;linkingpublicationresults,1:110880,1

Can also try to integrate the development with some of the proposed working conferences (e.g. as partly done at POEM 2009)

Relations to a selected number of journals was suggested; In particular the different conferences where suggested to liason with one of

• International journal of Information Systsme Modeling and Design (IJISMD) • Journal of Database Management (JDM) • Requirements Engineering Journal (RE)

4. Minutes of the IFIP TC8 WG 8.1 Business Meeting June 2008, Montpellier Approved.

5. Reports of IFIP WG8.1 Activities

5.1 Focus event on June 7: results and decisions Reported by Barbara Pernici: Identity of the group was discussed. No clear answer to this question. The group was missing some common work. It was proposed to encourage collaboration, to find 2-3 focal points. Social interaction of members (using modern technology, social networks, etc) should be improved to make the group more as a community Discussion: Organisation of work sessions, not necessarily with papers. Definition of research agenda. People have to bring their own energy to the group. Less and less money for enthusiasm. Maybe a common project or network. There are two groups (US and Europe) dealing with the same topic. To look for opportunities to do things together. The board do some investigation and proposes how to renew the group activities

5.2 Task Groups  Questions/discussion: What the objective of a task group is? How a task group should report about its achievements? There are no clear rules about activities and responsibilities of task groups.  Task group for ontologies and enterprise modeling (contact person: Michele Missikoff) This group is not active and could be closed/suspended for the moment.

 Method Engineering (contact persons: Jolita Ralyte, Colette Rolland, Sjaak Brinkkemper, Motoshi Saeki) The responsible should see how to reactivate the group, improve the collaboration of the group members and to define what could be produced by the group. Propose a new agenda and evaluate what is feasible.  Maybe a new task group could be created around PoEM. For example, collecting case studies, teaching material.

5.3 WCC 2010, Brisbane Probably this is the last IFIP World Congress, there is no plans for future events. Big effort for organising such an event and the attendance is not good. Barbara Pernici invites to participate, submit papers and be there. Maybe, to write a joint paper of the group. CfP GISP (Global IS Processes, chairs Jan Pries-Haye, Michael Roseman) + E-government conference

5.4 Report on Poem 2008 (Anne Persson and Janis Stirna) 34 submissions from 16 countries, 17 accepted papers, 1 keynote, about 50 participants. Very lively discussions. Proceedings in LNBIP series (as official IFIP proceeding)

5.5 Report on EMMSAD'09 (John Krogstie) EMMSAD report: 36 papers, accepted 16, proceeding Springer together with BPMDS (LNBIP series) Good discussions
