*Call for Papers* *Digital Enterprise Computing 2016* *14**^th **and 15**^th **June, 2016 in Böblingen,* *Herman Hollerith Center for Services Computing * New concepts in information systems research are required by digital companies. These include an interdisciplinary approach to information systems as well as to computer science, business administration, behavioural science, and other relevant scientific areas. New architectures combined with integrated Internet of Things platforms, mobility systems, collaborative business strategies, Big Data and Cloud ecosystems strongly impact on current and future business strategies. These are what enable digital transformation to new business opportunities in the first place. Close cooperation is needed between scientific, business and societal partners. The conference is organized under the umbrella of GI, the German Informatics society and extends research work from working groups like Business Information Systems, Enterprise Architecture Management and others. Digital business models as well as enterprise and software architectures are pivotal for resolving a particular issue: how can information systems be made to support business objectives efficiently? Corporate demands for flexible and agile service and information systems are met by service-oriented architectures in the context of Big Data and Cloud Computing. New data resources generate new options for the digital business of the future. The conference objective – Digital Enterprise Computing – addresses the essential tasks and challenges of digital enterprises. The conference as well as the accompanying doctoral consortium focuses on three essential aspects and their interdisciplinary combination:

* Strategies and business models for digital transformation, * Enterprise architecture management in digital transformation, * Digital Information and Service systems based on technologies like the Internet of Things, Cloud Computing, Enterprise Social Networks and Big Data.

The following research approaches are addressed: Digital business and enterprise modelling, innovation processes, change management processes, business process management, IT service management, Enterprise Social Networks, digital service ecosystems, architecture metamodels, reference models, capability maps, frameworks, semantic support, visual and interactive systems, structured and nonstructured data architectures, analytic, decision-making and diagnostic models, mobility systems, architecture tools, architecture patterns, architecture patterns, architecture governance and management, and so forth. The conference topic – Digital Enterprise Computing – is interdisciplinary and broadly based. The conference addresses members of IS- and IT-research groups on every scientific level. A doctoral consortium will be offered for doctoral students. Also very welcome are business professionals interested in digital transformation, digital business models and services, change management, enterprise social networks, IT-management, enterprise architecture management, service-oriented architectures, and digital technologies like Cloud Computing, Big Data, the Internet of Things, and Mobile Computing. *Program* The GI-conference includes invited key note speakers, workshops on specific Digital Enterprise Computing topics based on submitted papers, a poster session for student research projects, as well as a PhD-workshop on current research topics. A panel discussion will address the actuality and perspectives of Digital Enterprise Computing– with leading representatives of science, business, politics and the civil service weighing in on the issues. *Guidelines for Authors* Research papers should not exceed 8-12 pages. Position papers should be no more than 4 pages. The language of presentation is English and should comply with the highest academic standards (DFG). Acceptance is based on multiple anonymous (double-blind) reviews. Submissions should be forwarded via _https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dec2016_ . The GI guidelines for authors _http://www.gi.de/index.php?id=171_ are binding. Accepted papers will be published in the German Informatics Society proceedings. Authors will be asked to publish a revised version in an associated journal. Also, in order to encourage an active dialog between research and business, please submit a one-page abstract of innovative industrial experiences. *Important Dates* Submission Deadline: 1^st April,2016 Notification of Acceptance by 23^th April,2016 Final version of Accepted Papers by 7^th May,2016 Conference: 14^th and 15^th June, 2016 *Patronage* Roland Bernhard – President of Böblingen District *Conference Co-Chairs* Dieter Hertweck – Hochschule Reutlingen Christian Decker – Hochschule Reutlingen
