AppEER  (Approaches for Enterprise Engineering Research) Workshop

In conjunction with CAiSE’13

Valencia, June 2013

Information systems are used in enterprises to support human actors in
their activities. Studying the engineering of such socio-technical systems
has resulted in a wide range of disciplines, including Business Process
Management, Enterprise Architecture, Enterprise Modeling, Enterprise
Trans-formation, Business Engineering, etc. As the overarching term we use
Enterprise Engineering (EE).

The AppEER (Approaches for Enterprise Engineering Research) Workshop
intends to provide a common platform for discussion and presentation of
original work describing the usage of different approaches such as: design
science, interpretivism, positivism, criticism, etc., for doing EE research.

We encourage both, academics and practitioners to share their insights
(theory position, epistemological position, research approach, data
collection approach) of the following topics:
- research approaches to be used in EE
- frameworks, methods, analysis techniques and other instruments for doing
EE research
- patterns of collaborative research in EE
- emergent techniques in EE research
- evaluation and structuration of EE research
- implementation of analysis methods and other instruments during EE
research
- evolution, maturity, measurement and quality of EE research
- interplay between technical, social and organizational aspects of EE, and
its impact on doing research

Important dates
27 Feb. 2013 Paper submission
20 March 2013 Notification of acceptance
1 April 2013         Camera-ready copy
18 June 2013     Workshop

Call for Papers

Approaches for Enterprise Engineering Research (AppEER)

Aims and objectives
Information systems are used in enterprises to support human actors in their activities. Studying the engineering of such socio-technical systems has resulted in a wide range of disciplines, including Business Process Management, Enterprise Architecture, Enterprise Modeling, Enterprise Trans-formation, Business Engineering, etc. As the overarching term we use Enterprise Engineering (EE). 

The AppEER (Approaches for Enterprise Engineering Research) Workshop intends to provide a common platform for discussion and presentation of original work describing the usage of different approaches such as: design science, interpretivism, positivism, criticism, etc., for doing EE research. 

Moreover, the intended audience should involve people who have the ambition to bring "engineering rigour" to the design / development / creation of enterprises and their information-systems. Basically, how organizations currently deal / grapple with the task of designing / evolving themselves and their-ISs; how they currently use engineering approaches in this; and how the design of engineering methods / techniques / approaches used to do / improve EE (e.g. this would involve design science)? Therefore, we encourage scholars and practitioners to submit, present and discuss their insights of different research approaches in their studies in the field of EE.  

Event Format
The AppEER workshop will be co-located with the 25th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE’13) in Valencia, Spain on June 17-21, 2013. 

Paper types
Papers should describe innovative and significant original research relevant to AppEER topics as listed. Papers submitted for consideration must not have been published elsewhere and must not be under review or submitted for review elsewhere. All papers must be prepared in accordance with the Springer Verlag / LNBIP camera-ready. All papers are not to exceed 15 pages, including all references and figures. Note, however, that a clear focus of papers, and effective use the length of a paper to convey the contribution of a paper, will be among the evaluation criteria for selecting papers. Longer does not necessarily mean better!

- differences and similarities between EE research and traditional research in its source fields (organizational science, management science, information science)
- case studies on doing EE research with explicit attention to the used research approach and its motivation
- forms of knowledge base organization and access for the EE (research) community

Submission guidelines 
All accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings, published by Springer Verlag as a part of its LNBIP series. At least one author of accepted papers is expected to present the results at the AppEER workshop.
