*======================================================*

The* PoEM’15 Doctoral Consortium *will be the 1st Doctoral Consortium of a series to come in the future in conjunction with the PoEM conference. It is intended to bring together PhD students working on foundations and techniques of Enterprise Modeling and its sub-disciplines, and provide them with an opportunity to present and discuss their research to an audience of peers and senior faculty in a supportive environment, as well as to participate in a number of plenary sessions with Information Systems academics.

*The goals of the Doctoral Consortium are:*

· To provide fruitful feedback and advice to the selected PhD students on their research project and methodology

· To provide the opportunity to meet experts from different backgrounds working on topics related to the Enterprise Modeling discipline and its sub-disciplines such as Business Process Modeling, Requirements Engineering, etc.

· To interact with other PhD students and stimulate an exchange of ideas and suggestions among participants

· To provide the opportunity to discuss concerns about research, supervision, the job market, and other career-related issues

To be eligible for the Doctoral Consortium, the candidate must be a current doctoral student within a recognized university. Submissions are sought on any topic of enterprise modelling, including, but not limited to:

· Enterprise modelling and information systems

· Enterprise modelling and business processes

· Enterprise modelling and requirements

· Enterprise architecture

· Enterprise modelling and model-driven development

· Quality of enterprise models

· Conceptualizations, notations, and ontologies

· Compliance in enterprise modelling

· Enterprise modelling approaches and tools for agility and flexibility

· Change management and transformation

*Doctoral Consortium Mentors*

· Paul Johannesson, Stockholm University, Sweden

· Pnina Soffer, University of Haifa, Israel

· Jelena Zdravkovic, Stockholm University, Sweden

Professor Paul Johannesson will provide an introduction to the Design Science methodology for all PhD students participating to the Doctoral Consortium. He will also present a tutorial for young PhD supervisors.

Authors of accepted Doctoral Consortium papers will benefit from a reduced registration fee, which will enable them also to attend the full PoEM conference, and all associated social events (11-12 November).

*Submission process*

Submissions must be made electronically in PDF format by the stated deadline via the EasyChair conference system: ( https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=poem2015).

Attendees must have sufficient proficiency in English to allow them to participate in the academic discussions of the Consortium.

*Submission guidelines*

The paper needs to:

- Identify a significant problem in the field of research and establish a gap based on the current status of the problem domain and existing solutions - Indicate a research goal related to the identified gap and clearly formulate the research question - Present preliminary ideas, the proposed approach and the results achieved so far - Describe the research methodology that is applied or planned - Outline the contributions of the applicant’s work to the problem domain and highlight their uniqueness

The paper should conform to Springer LNCS format ( http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) and contain less than 4000 words (approx. 8 pages in LNCS style).

Each submitted paper will be reviewed by two members of the Doctoral Consortium Program Committee.
