   PoEM'15 Doctoral Consortium Call for Papers

PoEM 2015 is the 8th IFIP WG 8.1 working conference on the Practice of Enterpris
e Modelling. It aims at improving the understanding of the practice of Enterpris
e Modelling (EM) by offering a forum for sharing experiences and knowledge betwe
en the academic community and practitioners from industry and the public sector.
 PoEM is usually a very interesting and dynamic event, and this year it is takin
g place at the attractive and lively city of Valencia in Spain.

   The PoEM'15 Doctoral Consortium will be the 1^st Doctoral Consortium of
   a series to come in the future in conjunction with the PoEM conference.
   It is intended to bring together PhD students working on foundations,
   techniques, tools and applications of Enterprise Modeling and provide
   them with an opportunity to present and discuss their research to an
   audience of peers and senior faculty in a supportive environment, as
   well as to participate in a number of plenary sessions with Information
   Systems academics.

   The goals of the Doctoral Consortium are:

   .       To provide fruitful feedback and advice to the selected PhD
   students on their research project

   .       To provide the opportunity to meet experts from different
   backgrounds working on topics related to the Enterprise Modeling
   discipline

   .       To interact with other PhD students and stimulate an exchange
   of ideas and suggestions among participants

   .       To provide the opportunity to discuss concerns about research,
   supervision, the job market, and other career-related issues

   To be eligible for the Doctoral Consortium, the candidate must be a
   current doctoral student within a recognized university. Ideally, the
   candidate should have at least 6-12 months work remaining before
   expected completion (and at least 6 month of work already performed).

   .       Indicate a research goal related to the identified gap and
   clearly formulate the research question

   .       Present preliminary ideas, the proposed approach and the
   results achieved so far

   .       Describe the research methodology that is applied or planned

   .       Outline the contributions of the applicant's work to the
