ATGRC 2014 - 1st International Workshop on Advanced Technologies for Governance Risk and Compliance - ATGRC'14

Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) Information Systems provide key
functionalities - ranging from risk program management to regulatory monitoring
and reporting - to different stakeholders within an enterprise. GRC is moving
toward “a more integrated approach to ensure effective governance, manage
risks and optimize performance while addressing compliance obligations
throughout the enterprise” (OCEG GRC technology solution guide v2.1). New
generation GRC Information Systems are expected to simplify and automate the
consumption of Regulations, to create compliant business processes whose
execution can be monitored using controls traceable back to the Regulations and
to enable flexible Risk reporting over integrated data. State of the art Governance
dashboards and user interfaces are key in increasing the adoption of this new
generation of GRC information systems. Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence,
in Databases and in Business Processes Modelling will take GRC to this next level.
In particular, Semantic Technologies provide the required accuracy for formal
Knowledge Representation and the flexibility for large data and process
integration.
Hosted by the 25th International Conference on Database and Expert Systems
Applications (DEXA 2014), the 1st International Workshop on Advanced
Technologies for Governance Risk and Compliance is a forum bringing together
researchers in GRC, semantic technologies and related areas. It is an opportunity
to discuss current challenges and to assess state of the art technologies.
Relevant topics for submissions include, but are not limited
to
Business vocabularies, Regulatory vocabularies, GRC Vocabularies
Regulatory ontologies, Risk ontologies, Enterprise Ontologies
