TEAR 2010 -- The 5th Trends in Enterprise Architecture Research Workshop (TEAR) -- 12 November, 2010, Delft, the Netherlands

Important dates ---------------

● 27 June 2010, paper submission deadline ● 15 August 2010 notification of acceptance ● 29 August 2010 camera-ready copy ● 12 November 2010 workshop

Aims and objectives -------------------

The TEAR conferences contribute to establishing a dedicated forum where the use of EA in practice is addressed by bringing together researchers, users and practitioners. The main focus of TEAR is EA methods, approaches, and tools, and how they are used in practice. More specifically the goals of the conference are to further a better understanding of the practice of TEAR and improve the theory behind the practice, contributing to improved TEAR practice and to the sharing of knowledge. TEAR 2010 will be the 5th workshop on Trends in Enterprise Architecture Research. It follows the success of TEAR 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, which attracted over 50 participants from all over the world, representing both industry and academia. This indicates that Enterprise Architecture (EA) has gained substantial of popularity both in the academic community and among practitioners. The interactive format of the conference sparked constructive interaction between research and practice. The target for TEAR 2010 is to further strengthen this interaction by organizing a collaborative working session within the conference program. The most up-to-date information about TEAR can always be found at: http://tear.enterpriseengineeringnetwork.org. Topics relevant for submissions include, but are not limited to, the following: case studies, combining BPM and EA, drivers and obstacles of EA dissemination, EA and e-government, EA and organizational theory, EA and system development, EA business cases, EA communication and marketing, EA for small and medium-sized companies, EA governance and integration into corporate/IT governance, EA in university and executive education, EA reference models, meta models and frameworks, EA usage in corporate strategic planning, EA usage potentials for the networked enterprise, Enterprise modeling, EA and MDA, Modeling of EA dynamics, Event-driven architecture, Evolution of an EA, Incorporation of knowledge management and software engineering in EA, Integrating service oriented and legacy architectures, Managing complexity in EA, Maturity models for EA artifacts and processes, Methodologies for EA research, Processes and patterns for EA development.

Event Format ------------

TEAR is a highly interactive event. The conference will be organized at a venue that stimulates discussion and open exchange of ideas and experiences. In addition to highly interactive paper sessions the event will include a number of parallel think-tank sessions focusing on various topics, aiming for further development of issues and directions shared between practice and academia.

Paper types -----------

Experience papers present problems or challenges encountered in practice, relate success and failure stories, or report on industrial practices. The focus is on 'what' and on lessons learned, not on an in- depth analysis of 'why'. The practice must be clearly described and its context must be given. Readers should be able to draw conclusions for their own practice. Research papers describe original research contributions (theoretical, methodological or conceptual) to the area of EA. A research paper should clearly describe the situation or problem that is tackled, the relevant state of the art, the position or solution suggested and the potential or the evaluated benefits of the contribution.

Evaluation papers evaluate existing problem situations or validate proposed solutions with scientific means. Scientific reflection on problems and practices in industry also falls into this category. The topic of the evaluation presented in the paper as well as its causal or logical properties must be clearly stated. The research method must be sound and appropriate. Idea papers can describe completely new research positions or approaches, in order to face to a generic situation that arises because of, for instance, new methods and tools or new types of emerging EA challenges. They should describe precisely the situation and demonstrate the shortcomings of the current methods, tools, ways of reasoning, meta-models, etc.

Submission guidelines ---------------------

Papers should describe innovative and significant original research relevant to TEAR as described in the topics section. Papers submitted for consideration must not have been published elsewhere and must not be under review or submitted for review elsewhere during the duration of consideration. Papers are not to exceed 15 pages, including all references and figures. All papers must be prepared in accordance with the Springer/LNBIP camera-ready format and be submitted electronically (in PDF) via the submission website: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tear2010. All submissions should include title, authors, and full contact information. Detailed instructions for authors are available on the LNBIP website: http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-487211-0.
