Track: Enterprise Engineering

September 3rd-5th, 2014, Verona, Italy

Deadline for paper submissions: May 11th, 2014

Track description

Enterprise engineering is the general term for an engineering based approach to architect, transform or develop gradually enterprises. Enterprise engineering is based on rationales of how an enterprise wants to use its organizational socio-technical systems, such as business processes and information systems.

This track is looking for contributions that describe appropriate approaches and methodologies to

• Align business and IT,
  
• Support enterprise architecture design,
  
• Help in governance and evolution of an enterprise,
  
• Implement methods and other instruments for enterprises.
  
• Assess the maturity and quality of an enterprise.
  

Submitted research papers (full or research in progress) should present practical and theoretical insight of how an adequate coordination through enterprise engineering may be conducted. Research context may give an understanding of how enterprises need to negotiate many challenges, such as changes in the economic climate, mergers, acquisitions, innovation, novel technologies, et cetera. Within this context, research contributions may involve the development of new, appropriate theories, models, methods, and other instruments for the analysis, design, implementation, evolution and governance of enterprises by combining (relevant aspects of) management and organization science and information systems science.

Therefore, the Enterprise Engineering track may involve the presentation of a wide range of issues that involve organization science and information systems science. We encourage both, researchers and practitioners to share their insight in following topics:
 
Topics to be included

• Theories about enterprise engineering
  
• Models of enterprise engineering
  
• Frameworks, methods and other instruments of enterprise engineering analysis
  
• Design and architecture of enterprise engineering
  
• Emergent techniques in enterprise engineering
  
• Evaluation of enterprise engineering aspects (e.g. Business / IT alignment)
  
• Outsourcing of business and/or IT processes
  
• Implementation of methods and other instruments during enterprise engineering
  
• Social and organisational aspects of enterprise engineering
  
• Technical aspects of enterprise engineering
  
• Evolution of enterprises through engineering
  
• Change management in enterprises
  
• Governance and compliance aspects of enterprise engineering
  
• Maturity, measurement and quality of enterprise engineering
  
• Open standards and technologies in enterprise engineering
  

Types of contributions
