Call for Papers  -- Practice-driven Research on Enterprise
Transformation (PRET 2011)

Luxembourg, September 6, 2011

Aims and objectives
New technologies, new markets, globalisation, mergers and acquisitions
are among the "usual suspects" which require enterprises to transform
themselves to deal with these challenges and new realities. Enterprise
transformation involves the use of methods and techniques from
enterprise engineering, enterprise modelling, organisational change
management, enterprise architecture, and information systems
engineering. As a field of study, enterprise transformation requires a
close interaction between practice and aca demia. What works and does
not work requires validation in real-life situations. Conversely, it
is in industrial practice where challenges can be found that may fuel
and inspire researchers. The PRET working conferences are set up as a
one day event in such a way that it attracts an audience from both
industry and academia. PRET 2011 is a continuation of the PRET 2009
and 2010 working conferences.The PRET 2011 working conference will be
organised as the industrial track of the 13th IEEE Conference on
Commerce and Enterprise Computing (CEC 2011).

Event Format
PRET is a highly interactive event. The conference will be organized
in Kirchberg, Luxembourg, 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
Papers should reflect the mission of PRET, which is bringing together
academia and the industry regarding the indicated topics. Papers
should stimulate the discussion and the synergy between these two
“worlds”, with the ultimate objective of improving the field of
enterprise transformation. Typical papers describe: real-life case
studies, challenges from industry for the academic world, practical
applications of theory and/or quantitative research results regarding
enterprise transformation. Paper submission from industry as well as
from young researchers (MSc. graduates, young PhD researchers) is
strongly encouraged. Research results can be described in an
elaborated way, since the typical paper length PRET is aiming for is
25-30 pages. Accepted papers will be included in the proceedings as a
chapter.

Submission guidelines
Chapters should be submitted in PDF format via the Easychair submission website:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pret2011.
Work 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. All submissions should
