2nd Enterprise Engineering Working Conference

Motivation
----------
Modern enterprises face a strong pressure to increase agility and
competitiveness, to operate on the global market, and to engage in
manifold alliances. However, the vast majority of strategic initiatives
in enterprises fail, meaning that enterprises are unable to gain
success from their strategy. The key reason for these failures is the
lack of coherence and consistency among the various components of an
enterprise. At the same time, the need to operate as a unified and
integrated whole is becoming increasingly important. Currently, these
challenges are dominantly addressed from a functional or managerial
perspective, as advocated by the management and organization sciences,
and as implemented in MBA programs. Such knowledge is indeed necessary
for managing an enterprise, but it is inadequate for bringing about
changes. To do that, one needs to take a constructional or engineering
perspective. Only engineers bring about changes.
In addition, both organizations and software applications are complex
systems, prone to entropy. This means that in the course of time, the
costs of bringing about similar changes increase in a way that is known
as combinatorial explosion. Entropy can be reduced and managed
effectively through modular design based on atomic elements.
Lastly, the individual persons in an enterprise, in cooperation, are
ultimately responsible for the effective and efficient operation of the
enterprise. They are also collectively responsible for the evolution of
the enterprise, in order to meet new challenges. These responsibilities
can only be borne if members have an appropriate knowledge and an
effective awareness of the construction of the enterprise.
Focus and Goal
--------------
The Enterprise Engineering Working Conference 2012 is the second working
conference in the emerging field of Enterprise Engineering. The goal of
the conference is to gather academics and practitioners in order to
share innovative research issues and practical experiences, and to
facilitate profound discussions about the challenges mentioned above. It
is the mission of the discipline of Enterprise Engineering to develop
new, appropriate theories, models, methods and other artifacts for the
analysis, design, implementation, and governance of enterprises by
combining (relevant parts of) management and organization science,
information systems science, and computer science. The ambition is to
address traditional topics in said disciplines from the Enterprise
Engineering Paradigm (www.ciaonetwork.org/publications/EEManifesto.pdf).
The result of the efforts should be theoretically rigorous and
practically relevant.
Topics of interest to this working conference include, but are not
limited to:
* Enterprise Ontology
* Enterprise Architecture
* Enterprise Governance
* Enterprise modeling and simulation
* Domain ontologies
* Modeling (cross-enterprise) business processes
* Reference models for (cross-enterprise) business processes
* Business Process Management
* Business Rules Management
* Information systems design
* Information system architectures
* Component based system design
* Service Oriented Design
* Business process modeling and simulation
* Participatory systems
Organization
------------
The Enterprise Engineering Working Conference 2012 follows the
successful 1st EEWC in 2011, and the preceding series of workshops
(CIAO!'10, CIAO!'09, CIAO!'08, MIOS-CIAO'06, MIOS-INTEROP'05, MIOS'04)
held at the DESRIST, CAiSE and OTM Federated conferences.
We are looking for articles on current or recently finished research
projects as well as articles from practitioners. Based on our motivating
experience of the previous workshops and working conference, the
Enterprise Engineering Working Conference 2012 is planned to be a real
working conference, providing ample time for profound discussions
following short presentations.
Publication
-----------
The EEWC proceedings will be published in the Springer LNBIP series
"Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing".
