<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">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). </span><br>
