CALL FOR PAPERS TEAR 2016
11th Workshop on Trends in Enterprise
Architecture
Research (TEAR) 2016, Vienna
The 11th TEAR workshop (http://tear-series.org/)
is organized in conjunction with IEEE EDOC 2016, September
5-9, Vienna,
Austria.
*********************************************************************************
The international TEAR workshop series brings together
Enterprise Architecture
(EA) researchers from different research communities and
provides a forum
to present EA research results and to discuss future EA
research directions.
The field of Enterprise Architecture (EA) has gained
considerable attention
over the last years. EA is important because organizations
need to adapt
increasingly fast to changing customer requirements and
business goals.
This need influences the entire chain of activities of an
enterprise, from
business processes to IT support. Moreover, a change in a
particular part
of the overall architecture may influence many other parts of
the architecture.
For example, when a new product is introduced, business
processes for production,
sales and after-sales need to be adapted. It might be
necessary to change
applications, or even adapt the IT infrastructure. Each of
these fields
will have its own (partial) architectures. To keep the
enterprise architecture
coherent and aligned with the business goals, the relations
between these
different architectures must be explicit, and a change should
be carried
through methodically in all architectures. In contrast to
traditional architecture
management approaches such as IT architecture, software
architecture or
IS architecture, EA explicitly incorporates “pure”
business-related artifacts
in addition to traditional IS/IT artifacts. For Enterprise
Architecture
the focus is on the overall enterprise and concerns its
organization, its
components, the relationship between components and principles
governing
its design and evolution.
Topics
Topics relevant for submissions include, but are not limited
to, the following:
* Case studies on EA
* Combining BPM and EA
* Drivers and obstacles of EA dissemination
* EA and e-government
* EA and organizational theory
* EA and system development
* EA and capability-based planning
* EA business cases
* EA communication and marketing
* EA for small and medium-sized companies
* EA governance and integration into corporate/IT governance
* EA reference models, meta models and frameworks
* EA usage in corporate strategic planning
* Enterprise modeling, EA and MDA
* Evolution of an EA
* Incorporation of knowledge management and software
engineering in EA
* Measurement, metrics, and maturity models for EA artifacts
and processes
* Methodologies and research theory for EA research
* Processes and patterns for EA development, mastering,
communication and
enforcement
* Quality of EA models
* Tool support for EA
* Viewpoints in EA
* EA analysis for decision-making, particularly for
investments
* Architectural Thinking in day-to-day decision making
* Investigations of the EA needs of decision-makers
* EA in the context of extended enterprises and large
ecosystems
* Managing a growing scope of concerns: legal, compliance,
social, security,
etc.
* EA in the context of complexity and uncertainty
* EA and the creation of EA research and teaching centers
* Collaboration and sense-making in the context of EA
