<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" alt="" src="http://www.ciaonetwork.org/uploads/eewc2014/vida_mar_madeira_sea.jpg" height="467" width="686"></p>
We reserve ample time
for each paper’s presentation and productive discussion and we will
have panel discussions every day to develop and deepen our
scientific insights. The conference will also include: an Industry
Track
- presenting real world and interesting enterprise engineering case
studies and projects; and a <a href="http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=fU0BAhoAAh1SDQ" >Doctoral
Consortium</a> - if you are developing or supervising a PhD thesis
don't miss this opportunity of important and experienced feedback for
you or your supervised student.<br>
<p>Furthermore, we will have a rich social program including two fantastic tours in two of the conference days - before dinner
- to amazing
spots on the island such as: the famous <a href="http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=fU0AABoAAh1SDQ" >Balcões</a>
viewpoint, the <a href="http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=fU0AARoAAh1SDQ" >Cabo
Girão</a> sea cliff (one of the highest in Europe) and the <a href="http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=fU0ADhoAAh1SDQ" >Porto
Moniz natural sea water swimming pools</a>. If you come a couple of days earlier, you will be able to attend
the <a href="http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=fU0BBhoAAh1SDQ" >Madeira
Flower Festival</a> parade
- one of the major tourist attractions
of Madeira every year. There will be alternative social programs, for
accompanying persons that won't be present at the conference sessions,
which will be announced soon.<br>
</p>
<p>So don't miss this conference focusing on the increasingly relevant
discipline of enterprise engineering that has emerged from the
disciplines of information systems engineering and management and
organization sciences.<br>
</p>
<p>Very special rates are offered in
the official conference venue hotel – <a href="http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=fU0HAhoAAh1SDQ" >Vida
Mar</a> (5 stars - see image below) – and
also on other hotels that are conference partners (4 and 3 stars). You
can also request our partner travel agency (that will take care of
registration and payments) to also find a suitable flight for you to
Madeira island. So in one single form and payment you may be able to take care
of registration fees, accommodation, airport transfers and flights. See
details in the <a href="http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=fU0HABoAAh1SDQ" >online registration form</a>.
A reduced conference fee for early registration is available. Namely,
until end of February it is 350€; until end of March 375€; and, until
near the conference date, it will be 400€. Bank transfer and credit
cards are accepted. Below you will find this conference's motivation,
topics and chairs/program committee.<br>

<h3>Motivation</h3>
<p>Modern enterprises face a strong pressure to increase agility and
competitiveness, to operate on the global market, and to engage in
manifold alliances. However, the vast majority of strategic initiatives
in enterprises fail, meaning that enterprises are unable to gain
success from their strategy. The key reason for these failures is the
lack of coherence and consistency among the various components of an
enterprise. At the same time, the need to operate as a unified and
integrated whole is becoming increasingly important. Currently, these
challenges are dominantly addressed from a functional or managerial
perspective, as advocated by the management and organization sciences,
and as implemented in MBA programs. Such knowledge is indeed necessary
for managing an enterprise, but it is inadequate for bringing about
changes in a fully systematic and integrated way. To do that, one needs
to take a constructional or engineering perspective.</p>
<p>In addition, both organizations and software applications are
complex systems, prone to entropy. This means that in the course of
time, the costs of bringing about similar changes increase in a way
that is known as combinatorial explosion. Entropy can be reduced and
managed effectively through modular design based on atomic elements.</p>
<p>Lastly, the individual persons in an enterprise, in cooperation, are
ultimately responsible for the effective and efficient operation of the
enterprise. They are also collectively responsible for the evolution of
the enterprise, in order to meet new challenges. These responsibilities
can only be borne if members have an appropriate knowledge and an
effective awareness of the construction of the enterprise given by a
sound engineering aproach.</p>
<div>
<h3>Focus and Goal</h3>
</div>
<p>The Enterprise Engineering Working Conference 2014 is the fourth
working conference in the emerging field of Enterprise Engineering. The
goal of the conference is to gather academics and practitioners in
order to share innovative research issues and practical experiences,
and to facilitate profound discussions about the challenges mentioned
above. It is the mission of the discipline of Enterprise Engineering to
develop new, appropriate theories, models, methods and other artifacts
for the analysis, design, implementation, and governance of enterprises
by combining (relevant parts of) management and organization science,
information systems science, and computer science. The ambition is to
address traditional topics in said disciplines from the <a href="http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=fU0CBRoAAh1SDQ" target="_blank">Enterprise Engineering Paradigm</a>. The result
of the efforts should be theoretically rigorous and practically
relevant.</p>
<p>Topics of interest to this working conference include, but are not
limited to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Business Process Management</li>
<li>Business Process Modeling and Simulation</li>
<li>Business Rules</li>
<li>Business Rules Management</li>
<li>Collaborative, Participative, and Interactive Modeling</li>
<li>Component-Based System Development</li>
<li>Domain Ontologies</li>
<li>Domain Reference Ontologies</li>
<li>Enterprise Architecture</li>
<li>Enterprise Governance</li>
<li>Enterprise Modeling and Simulation</li>

<li>Service Oriented Architecture</li>
<li>Service Oriented Design</li>
</ul>
<div>
<h3>Organization</h3>
</div>
<p>The 4th Enterprise Engineering Working Conference in 2014 follows
the successful preceding conferences in 2013, 2012 and 2011 and the
preceding series of workshops (CIAO!’10, CIAO!’09, CIAO!’08,
MIOS-CIAO’06, MIOS-INTEROP’05, MIOS’04) held at the DESRIST, CAiSE and
OTM Federated conferences.</p>
<p>We are looking for articles on current or recently finished research
projects as well as articles from practitioners. Based on our
motivating experience of the previous workshops and working
conferences, the Enterprise Engineering Working Conference 2014 is
planned to be a real working conference, providing ample time for
profound discussions following short presentations.</p><div><h3>Chairs</h3>
