27th International EDOC Conference (EDOC 2023)
Enterprise Design, Operations and Computing
October 30 - November 3, 2023, Groningen, The Netherlands (on-site)

Special theme for 2023: Sustainable Enterprises

EDOC 2023 is the 27th conference in the EDOC series. EDOC conferences
traditionally provide a key forum for researchers and practitioners in the
field of Enterprise Design, Operations and Computing, by addressing the
full range of models, methodologies, and engineering technologies
contributing to building and evolving intra- and inter-enterprise software
systems.

EDOC 2023 will be hosted by the Bernoulli Institute for Mathematics,
Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence of the University of
Groningen, in Groningen, the Netherlands. It will be collocated with the
29th International Conference on Cooperative Information Systems (CoopIS).

EDOC 2023 calls for contributions with a special emphasis on the theme of
designing and operating “Sustainable Enterprises” to reflect the global
developments toward sustainable living. In this context, new concepts and
approaches are required: (a) to address pressing challenges ensuing from
the need for sustainability in domains like healthcare, advanced
manufacturing, finance, environmental management, agriculture, supply chain
management, energy, and others, while ensuring long-term interoperability
and resilience of enterprise systems; and (b) to leverage or rethink
technologies such as digital twins, machine learning, IoT, big data
analytics, distributed ledgers/blockchain, as well as novel computing
approaches, when addressing the multifaceted nature of sustainable
enterprise systems.

The conference welcomes high-quality scientific submissions and experience
papers from industry. Additionally, expert panel discussions and keynotes
will address current topics and issues in this domain.

context)


SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Two types of submissions are solicited:

a) scientific research papers (including case studies), and

b) industry experience reports.

Scientific papers should describe original results not having been accepted
or submitted for publication elsewhere. These papers will be peer-reviewed
based on their scientific and technical contribution, originality, and
relevance. Case studies following a formal case study research method
(e.g., involving elaborate and well-structured gathering and processing of
data from the case(s)) also fall within this category of papers.

Industry experience reports should provide insights from real-world
experiences, e.g., feedback about the state of practice or pose challenges
for researchers. These reports must be based on real-world projects and
involve at least one author with industry affiliation. Such reports are
required to follow the STARR template (the Situation in which the project
took place, the Task that needed to be done, the Activities that were
conducted (and the tools/methods/technologies used), the Results that were
achieved, followed by well-motivated Reflections). These papers will be
evaluated based on appropriateness, significance, and clarity.

Papers should be submitted at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=edoc2023

All papers will be refereed by at least 3 members of the international
programme committee, while a dedicated programme board will oversee the
general reviewing process. The proceedings will be published by Springer in
the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Full papers should
follow the Springer LNCS style at
https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines.
The page limit for submitted papers (as well as final, camera-ready papers)
is 16 pages (including references). An Overleaf LaTeX template is available
for your convenience.

Each paper must have one of its authors registered to EDOC 2023 before the
camera-ready deadline. The organizers reserve the right to remove a paper
from the proceedings if no author is registered by the camera-ready
deadline. Only papers presented during the conference will be published in
the proceedings.
