The Doctoral Consortium at PoEM 2016 will be a meeting place and discussion forum for PhD students from the enterprise modelling and information systems community. The main objective is to provide an opportunity for presenting and discussing PhD projects in order to get advice and investigate new perspectives from an audience of peers and senior faculty in a supportive environment. It is intended to bring together PhD students working on foundations, techniques, methods, tools and applications of Enterprise Modeling and provide them with an opportunity to present and discuss their research to, 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 * To provide the opportunity to meet experts from different backgrounds working on topics related to the Enterprise Modeling discipline * To interact with other PhD students and stimulate an exchange of ideas * To provide the opportunity to discuss concerns about research, supervision, the job market, and other career-related issues * To discuss different aspects of a PhD project according to the current status, e.g., * 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 identified gap and formulate research questions * Present preliminary ideas, the proposed approach and the results achieved so far * Describe the research methodology applied or planned * Outline the contributions of the applicant's work to the problem domain and highlight their uniqueness

To be eligible for the Doctoral Consortium, the candidate must be a current doctoral student within a recognized university. Ideally, the candidate should have at least 6 month of work already performed or at least 6-12 months work remaining before expected completion.

Doctoral Consortium Mentors Selected members of the program committee who are experienced in guiding PhD work will act as mentors during the doctoral consortium and provide advice to the individual PhD students regarding their PhD projects. The list of mentors will be published in October 2016.

Special Session on Publishing Opportunities There are many possibilities for PhD students to publish research work: workshops, conferences, book chapters, journals, open access publications, etc. In many countries it is mandatory to have at least some publications before being able to finish a PhD dissertation. In a special session for the doctoral consortium participants, Prof. Kurt Sandkuhl will offer a perspective on publishing opportunities from the view of an experienced researcher. Special focus will be on journal publications, including typical review and publication processes. The Springer journal BISE (Business & Information Systems Engineering) will be used as an example. One intention of the session is to encourage participants to consider extending their research publications towards journal publications.
