Motivation
----------
Modern enterprises face a strong pressure to increase agility and 
competitiveness, to operate on the global market, and to engage in 
manifold alliances. However, the vast majority of strategic  initiatives 
in enterprises fail, meaning that enterprises are unable  to gain 
success from their strategy. The key reason for these failures  is the 
lack of coherence and consistency among the various components  of an 
enterprise. At the same time, the need to operate as a unified  and 
integrated whole is becoming increasingly important. Currently,  these 
challenges are dominantly addressed from a functional or  managerial 
perspective, as advocated by the management and  organization sciences, 
and as implemented in MBA programs. Such  knowledge is indeed necessary 
for managing an enterprise, but it is  inadequate for bringing about 
changes. To do that, one needs to take a  constructional or engineering 
perspective. Only engineers bring about  changes.
In addition, both organizations and software applications are complex 
systems, prone to entropy. This means that in the course of time, the 
costs of bringing about similar changes increase in a way that is  known 
as combinatorial explosion. Entropy can be reduced and managed 
effectively through modular design based on atomic elements.
Lastly, the individual persons in an enterprise, in cooperation, are 
ultimately responsible for the effective and efficient operation of  the 
enterprise. They are also collectively responsible for the  evolution of 
the enterprise, in order to meet new challenges. These  responsibilities 
can only be borne if members have an appropriate  knowledge and an 
effective awareness of the construction of the  enterprise.


Focus and Goal
--------------
The Enterprise Engineering Working Conference 2012 is the second working 
conference in the emerging field of Enterprise Engineering.  The goal of 
the conference is to gather academics and practitioners in order to 
share innovative research issues and practical experiences, and to 
facilitate profound discussions about the challenges mentioned above. It 
is the mission of the discipline of Enterprise Engineering  to develop 
new, appropriate theories, models, methods and other  artifacts for the 
analysis, design, implementation, and governance of  enterprises by 
combining (relevant parts of) management and  organization science, 
information systems science, and computer  science. The ambition is to 
address traditional topics in said  disciplines from the Enterprise 
Engineering Paradigm (www.ciaonetwork.org/publications/EEManifesto.pdf). 
The result of the efforts should be theoretically rigorous and 
practically relevant.

Topics of interest to this working conference include, but are not 
limited to:

* Enterprise Ontology
* Enterprise Architecture
* Enterprise Governance
* Enterprise modeling and simulation
* Domain ontologies
* Modeling (cross-enterprise) business processes
* Reference models for (cross-enterprise) business processes
* Business Process Management
* Business Rules Management
* Information systems design
* Information system architectures
* Component based system design
* Service Oriented Design
* Business process modeling and simulation
* Participatory systems


Organization
------------
The Enterprise Engineering Working Conference 2012 follows the 
successful 1st EEWC in 2011, and the preceding series of workshops 
(CIAO!'10, CIAO!'09, CIAO!'08, MIOS-CIAO'06, MIOS-INTEROP'05, MIOS'04) 
held at the DESRIST, CAiSE and OTM Federated conferences.

We are looking for articles on current or recently finished research 
projects as well as articles from practitioners. Based on our motivating 
experience of the previous workshops and working  conference, the 
Enterprise Engineering Working Conference 2012 is  planned to be a real 
working conference, providing ample time for  profound discussions 
following short presentations.


Publication
-----------
The EEWC proceedings will be published in the Springer LNBIP series 
"Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing".
