CALL FOR PAPERS – 2012 

Important Dates
Paper Submission Deadline: 30th September 2012
Acceptance notification: 07th October 2012
Workshop: 15h December 2012 from 8:30 AM – 05:00 PM 

Workshop Objectives 
The primary objective of the workshop is to provide an open and 
constructive discussion 
forum of important Enterprise Systems research that addresses topics 
relating to the 
Enterprise Systems Lifecycle Management. Moreover, the organizing 
committee intends to 
employ the workshop to identify new Enterprise Systems research domains, 
issues of 
Enterprise Systems researchers, share and develop Enterprise Systems 
curricula and to 
share and develop innovative approaches of ES research.

Topics
We welcome papers on conceptual and empirical research, as well as 
teaching cases, other 
ES curriculum material, and papers that examine research methods 
appropriate for ES 
research. We encourage submissions from researchers representing all 
ontological 
perspectives. Our intention is to provide a forum for bringing together 
researchers and 
educators with similar interests both to share their current work and to 
plan future directions 
for the field. We also hope to stimulate future collaboration in both 
research and curriculum 
development. 

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
