Foreword: This volume contains the proceedings of the twelfth International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems (ICEIS 2010), sponsored by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication (INSTICC), in cooperation with the Association for Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC), the Association for Computation Machinery (ACM) Special Interest Group on Management Information Systems (SIGMIS), the ACM Special Interest Group on Computer Human Interaction (SIGCHI), the ACM Special Interest Group on Artificial Intelligence (SIGART) and the Institute of Electronics Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE) Special Interest Group on Software Interprise Modelling (SWIM). This year ICEIS was held in Funchal-Madeira, Portugal. This conference has grown to become a major point of contact between research scientists, engineers and practitioners in the area of business applications of information systems, with five simultaneous tracks, covering different aspects related to enterprise computing, including: “Databases and Information Systems Integration”, “Artificial Intelligence and Decision Support Systems”, “Information Systems Analysis and Specification”, “Software Agents and Internet Computing” and “Human-Computer Interaction”. Papers published in each track describe state-of-art research work that is often oriented towards real world applications and highlight the benefits of Information Systems and Technology for industry and services, thus making a bridge between the Academia and the Enterprise worlds. Following the trend of previous editions, ICEIS 2010 also had a number of satellite workshops, related to the field of the conference, including the following eight international workshops: 10th Int’l Workshop on Pattern Recognition in Information Systems; 8th Int’l Workshop on Modelling, Simulation, Verification and Validation of Enterprise Information Systems; 7th Int’l Workshop on Natural Language Processing and Cognitive Science; 5th Int’l Workshop on Technologies for Context-Aware Business Process Management; 4th Int’l Workshop on RFID Technology - Concepts, Applications, Challenges; 2nd Int’l Workshop on Future Trend of Model-Driven Development; 2nd Int’l Workshop on Advanced Enterprise Architecture and Repositories and the 1st Int’l Workshop on Recent Trends in SOA Based Information Systems. ICEIS 2010 received 448 paper submissions from 58 countries on all continents. 62 papers were published and presented as full papers, i.e. completed work (10 pages/30’ oral presentation) and 127 papers, reflecting work-in-progress, were accepted and orally presented as short papers (6 pages/20’ oral presentation). Furthermore, 73 contributions were accepted and presented as posters. These numbers, leading to a “full-paper” acceptance ratio around 13%, and a total oral acceptance ratio of 42%, show the intention of preserving a high quality forum for the next editions of this conference. Additionally, as usual in the ICEIS conference series, a number of invited talks, presented by internationally recognized specialists in different areas, have positively contributed to reinforce the overall quality of the Conference and to provide a deeper understanding of the Enterprise Information Systems field. The program for this conference required the dedicated effort of many people. Firstly, we must thank the authors, whose research and development efforts are recorded here. Secondly, we thank the members of the program committee and the additional reviewers for a valuable help with their expert reviewing of all submitted papers. Thirdly, we thank the invited speakers for their invaluable contribution and for taking the time to synthesise and prepare their talks. Fourthly, we thank the workshop chairs whose collaboration with ICEIS was much appreciated. Finally, special thanks to all the members of the INSTICC organizing committee, especially Vitor Pedrosa, whose diligence and dedication was fundamental for the success of this conference. Six best paper awards are given at the closing session to outstanding papers presented at the conference: an award for the top regular paper in each conference area plus an award for the best student paper, overall. The selection is based on the classifications and comments provided by the Program Committee and also on the oral presentation quality, assessed by session chairs. A final selection of papers, from those presented at ICEIS 2010 in Funchal, will be done based on peer-assessment, i.e. on the classifications and comments provided by the Program Committee and on the assessment provided by session chairs. Extended and revised versions of these papers will be published in a book by Springer-Verlag. We wish you all an exciting conference and an unforgettable stay in Funchal-Madeira. We hope to meet you again next year for the 13th ICEIS, to be held in Beijing, China, details of which will be readily available at http://www.iceis.org. (More)
