------
SCOPE
------
Several developments, such as the success of cloud-computing show that 
not the ownership of IT resources but their management is the foundation 
for sustainable competitive advantage . According to Ross et al. , smart 
companies define how they (will) do business (using an operating model) 
and design the processes and infrastructure critical to their current 
and future operations (using an enterprise architecture).

Enterprise Engineering (EE) is the application of engineering principles 
to the design of Enterprise Architectures (EA). It allows deriving the 
EA from the enterprise goals and strategy and aligning it with the 
enterprise resources as shown in Figure 1, EA aims (i) to understand the 
interactions and all kind of articulations between business and 
information technology, (ii) to define how to align business components 
and IT components, as well as business strategy and IT strategy, and 
more particularly (iii) to develop and support a common understanding 
and sharing of those purposes of interest. Enterprise architecture is 
used to map the enterprise goal and strategy to the enterprise's 
resources (actors, assets, IT supports) and to take into account the 
evolution of this mapping. It also provides documentation on the 
assignment of enterprise resources to the enterprise goals and strategy.

There are different paradigms for creating enterprise architecture. The 
most important is to encapsulate the functionalities of IT resources as 
services. By this means, it is possible to clearly describe the 
contributions of IT both in terms of functionality and quality and to 
define a service-oriented enterprise architecture (SoEA). SoEA easily 
integrates wide-spread technological approaches such as SOA or emerging 
ones as cloud computing because they also use service as structuring and 
governing paradigm. The enterprise goals and strategies are mapped to a 
SoEA.

SoEA differentiates four layers of services. Thus, its scope is much 
broader than the scope of SOA and also includes services not accessible 
through software such as business and infrastructure services. Services 
of different layers may be interconnected in service (value) nets to 
provide higher level services.

1. Business services are services, which directly support business 
processes. Business processes can also be developed dynamically 
(on-the-fly) using business services which are available in a repository 
for a given business domain. An example is call-centre services provided 
by an external service provider.
2. Software services exist as two types: (i) human-oriented 
applications, which are provided as Software as a Service, (ii) 
application services which are part of so-called SOA  that are a popular 
paradigm for creating enterprise software.
3. Platform Services provide support of the development of applications. 
They provide services for the execution of applications, middleware 
stacks, web servers etc.
4. Infrastructure services are more hardware-flavoured services, which 
are provided using computers. They may have a human addressee but 
contain many infrastructure services such as providing computing power, 
storage etc. They are an important topic in management and practice 
collections such as ITILV3  or standards such as ISO/IEC 20000 have 
gained a high popularity.

GOALS
------
The goal of the workshop is to develop concepts and methods to assist 
the engineering and the management of service-oriented enterprise 
architectures and the software systems supporting them. Especially five 
themes of research shall be pursued:
1. Alignment of the enterprise goals and strategies with the SoEA
2. Design of the SoEA
3. Mapping of SoEA to cloud-based enterprise resources
4. Management of SoEA
5. SoEA and influence of social and big data in Enterprise Engineering


---------------------
TOPICS OF DISCUSSION
---------------------
During the workshop we will discuss the following topics:

1. Alignment of the enterprise goals and strategy with the SoEA
-    Which interdependencies exist between services and business strategy?
-    Which concepts and methods are necessary to align services with the 
business strategy?
-    Which new potentials to reengineer business processes are created 
by services?
-    How are non-functional requirements derived from enterprise goals 
and strategy?
-    How are services aligned with non-functional requirements?
-    How are services aligned with compliance requirements?

2. Design of SoEA
-    How are business, software, platform and infrastructure services 
defined?
-    How are business services assigned to business processes?
-    Which phases do the lifecycle of business, software, platform and 
infrastructure services contain?
-    How can the fulfilment of non-functional requirements be monitored?
-    Which benchmarks and key performance indicators should be applied 
to services?
-    Which approaches exist for the continual improvement of services?

3. Mapping of SoEA to cloud-based enterprise resources
-    Which resources are relevant for SoEA?
-    How are services mapped to cloud-based enterprise resources?
-    Which approaches exist to map services to resources?
-    Which information system architectures are adequate for services?
-    How can non-functional requirements be mapped to capacity planning 
of cloud-based resources?

4. Management of SoEA
-    Are the compliance and governance requirements enforced using SoEA?
-    How do meta-services differentiate for business, software, platform 
and infrastructure services?
-    How are appropriate meta-services designed?
-    How are service (value) nets -consisting of business, software, 
platform and infrastructure services- created?
-    Which meta-services are necessary for cloud-environments?

5.  SoEA and influence of social and big data in Enterprise Engineering
-    How does SoEA have to change in order to comply with the new 
possibilities of Big Data (volume, variety, velocity, veracity)?
-    What are the information flows of Big Data integrated into 
Enterprise Architecture?
-    How does social production influence SoEA?
-    How can the creation of weak ties be supported in SoEA?
-    How to support collective decision processes in SoEA?
-    How does SoEA interrelate with cloud computing?
-    How are Enterprise Architectures designed using cloud-services?
-    How differ cloud-services from other kinds of services?
-    How are Enterprise Architectures designed using cloud-environments?

SUBMISSION
-----------
Full papers (8-10 pages in the IEEE-CS format) describing mature results 
are sought. In addition, short papers (4 pages in the IEEE-CS format) 
may be submitted to facilitate discussion of recent research results and 
ongoing projects. Industry experience reports provide new insights 
gained in case studies or when applying service-oriented EA for 
enterprise engineering are also welcome. The paper selection will be 
based upon the relevance of a paper to the main topics, as well as upon 
its quality and potential to generate relevant discussion. All 
contributions will be peer reviewed based on the complete version, being 
full or short.

All papers published in the EDOC 2014 workshop proceedings must be in 
the IEEE Computer Society format 
(http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting). It is strongly 
recommended that all papers are already in this format when they are 
first submitted to workshops. This gives precise picture of the paper 
length and avoids rework if the paper is accepted.

*Please submit your paper to Easychair *at 
*https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=soea4ee2014*

At least one author of each accepted workshop paper will have to 
register for the whole EDOC 2014 conference and attend the workshop to 
present the paper. Analogously to previous years, there will be no 
workshop-only registration at EDOC 2014. If a paper is not presented in 
the workshop, it will be removed from the workshop proceedings published 
in the IEEE Xplore digital library.

The SoEA4EE workshop has been a full day workshop in conjunction with 
EDOC'09 in New Zealand, with EDOC'10 in Brasil, EDOC'11 in Finland, EDOC 
2012 in China, and EDOC'2013 in Canada. The programs of the previous 
editions can be found from the portal www.soea4ee.org
