Call for Papers<br>7th Mediterranean Conference on Information Systems<br>Track: Enterprise engineering<br><br><a href="http://www.kmowl.org/mcis/" target="_blank">http://www.kmowl.org/mcis/</a><br><br>September 8-10, 2012, Guimarães, Portugal <br>
<br>Deadline for paper submissions: March 9th, 2012<br><br>Track description<br>Enterprise engineering (<a href="http://www.ee-team.eu/enterprise-engineering" target="_blank">http://www.ee-team.eu/enterprise-engineering</a>) is the general term for an engineering based approach to architect, transform or develop gradually enterprises. Enterprise engineering is based on rationales of how an enterprise wants to use its organizational socio-technical systems, such as business processes and information systems.<br>
This track is looking for contributions that describe appropriate approaches and methodologies to align business and IT, support the design and architecture of an enterprise, help in governance and evolution of an enterprise, contribute in implementation of methods and other instruments for enterprises. Moreover, contributions providing guidance in assessing maturity and quality of an enterprise will be appreciated. <br>
Submitted research papers (full or research in progress) and posters should present practical and theoretical insight of how an adequate coordination through enterprise engineering may be conducted. Research context may give an understanding of how enterprises need to negotiate many challenges, such as changes in the economic climate, mergers, acquisitions, innovation, novel technologies, et cetera. Within this context, research contributions may involve the development of new, appropriate theories, models, methods, and other instruments for the analysis, design, implementation, evolution and governance of enterprises by combining (relevant aspects of) management and organization science and information systems science. <br>
Therefore, the Enterprise engineering track may involve the presentation of a wide range of issues that involve organization science and information systems science. We encourage both, researchers and practitioners to share their insight in following topics:<br>
Topics to be included<br>• Theories about enterprise engineering<br>• Models of enterprise engineering<br>• Frameworks, methods and other instruments of enterprise engineering analysis<br>• Design and architecture of enterprise engineering<br>
• Emergent techniques in enterprise engineering<br>• Evaluation of enterprise engineering aspects (e.g. Business / IT alignment)<br>• Outsourcing of business and/or IT processes<br>• Implementation of methods and other instruments during enterprise engineering<br>
• Social and organisational aspects of enterprise engineering <br>• Technical aspects of enterprise engineering<br>• Evolution of enterprises through engineering<br>• Change management in enterprises<br>• Governance aspects of enterprise engineering<br>
• Maturity, measurement and quality of enterprise engineering<br>• Open standards and technologies in enterprise engineering<br>Types of contributions<br>Full research papers, research in progress and posters<br>Track chairs<br>
