Dear all,<br><br>Please consider contributing to the PRET 2011 - The 3rd Practice-driven Research on Enterprise Transformation working conference<br><br><a href="http://ea-network.org/wikis/ea-network/pret-2011-the-3rd-practice-driven-research-on-enterprise-transformation-working-conference%20" target="_blank">http://ea-network.org/wikis/ea-network/pret-2011-the-3rd-practice-driven-research-on-enterprise-transformation-working-conference </a><br>
<br>Linked to CEC 2011, the PRET Conference - 6th September 2011 in Luxembourg. <br><br>> Aims and Objectives<br><br>New
technologies, new markets, globalisation, mergers and acquisitions are
among the "usual suspects" which require enterprises to transform
themselves to deal with these challenges and new realities. Enterprise
transformation involves the use of methods and techniques from
enterprise engineering, enterprise modelling, organisational change
management, enterprise architecture, and information systems
engineering. As a field of study, enterprise transformation requires a
close interaction between practice and academia. What works and does
not work requires validation in real-life situations. Conversely, it is
in industrial practice where challenges can be found that may fuel and
inspire researchers. The PRET working conferences are set up as a one
day event in such a way that it attracts an audience from both industry
and academia. PRET 2011 is a continuation of the PRET 2009 and 2010
working conferences.The PRET 2011 working conference will be organised
as the industrial track of the 13th IEEE Conference on Commerce and
Enterprise Computing (CEC 2011). <br>
<br>> Paper Types<br><br>Papers should reflect the mission of PRET,
which is bringing together academia and the industry regarding the
indicated topics. Papers should stimulate the discussion and the synergy
between these two “worlds”, with the ultimate objective of improving
the field of enterprise transformation. Typical papers describe:
real-life case studies, challenges from industry for the academic world,
practical applications of theory and/or quantitative research results
regarding enterprise transformation. Paper submission from industry as
well as from young researchers (MSc. graduates, young PhD researchers)
is strongly encouraged. Research results can be described in an
elaborated way, since the typical paper length PRET is aiming for is
25-30 pages. Accepted papers will be included in the proceedings as a
chapter.<br>
<br>> Submission Guidelines<br><br>Chapters should be submitted in PDF format via the Easychair submission website:<br><a href="http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pret2011" target="_blank">http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pret2011</a> .<br>
Work submitted for consideration must not have been published elsewhere
and must not be under review or submitted for review elsewhere during
the duration of consideration. All submissions should include title,
authors, and full contact information. Detailed instructions for authors
are available on the LNBIP website:<br>
