<h2>Call for participation</h2>
<h3>5th Enterprise Engineering Working Conference - June 15-19 2015 -
Prague, Czech Republic<br>
</h3>
You are hereby cordially invited to
participate in the 5th Enterprise Engineering Working Conference (EEWC
2015) that we are happy to announce that is happening from June 15th to
19th in Prague, Czech Republic.<br>
<br>
Please read and forward this to whoever may be interested in the
conference.
The Call for Papers follows below.<br>
<br>
We will have a very interesting program during the conference week. We
start with the 15th CIAO! Doctoral Consortium on Monday June 15th. The
titles and abstracts of the very interesing PhD thesis to be
presented/discussed, as well as the list of accepted papers in the main
conference are already available <a href="http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=fU0LBhoHCx1SCQ" >here</a>.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img class="inline" style="width: 800px; height: 220px;" alt="" src="http://www.ciaonetwork.org/uploads/eewc2015/prague.jpg"><br>
</div>
<br>
The main conference days are on Tuesday and Wednesday with paper
sessions combined with an Industrial Track. On Tuesday we will
have a very interesting Keynote presentation by Janis Stirna, Professor
at Stockholm University, Sweden: <span style="font-style: italic;">"Capability
Driven Development of Context-aware Enterprise Applications –
Challenges, Approach and Experiences"</span>. The Industry Track will
also have a Keynote presentation by Tomas Formanek - CEO and R&D
Director of <a href="http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=fU0LBxoHCx1SCQ" >Logio</a>: "<span style="font-style: italic;">Simplicity - One thing in today’s
complexity</span>". See abstracts and bios of the speakers <a href="http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=fU0LBBoHCx1SCQ" >here</a>.<br>
<br>
The conference papers and industrial track presentations will
provide current valuable insights from both theory and practice. 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. Additionally, we will have nice social
events in most evenings :-) Check the full program overview and details <a href="http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=fU0LBhoHCx1SCQ" >here</a>.<br>
<br>
Thursday and Friday are reserved for more intense research
presentations/discussions from members of our CIAO! research community,
but also open to general conference participants.<br>
<br>
So don't miss this conference benefiting from real working and
productive sessions and 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>
<br>
You can register for the conference <a href="http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=fU0LBRoHCx1SCQ" >here</a>.<br>

<h2>Call for Papers</h2>
<h3>5th Enterprise Engineering Working Conference – June 15-19 2015 – <b>Prague</b>,
<b>Czech Republic</b></h3>
<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 by traditional programs in business schools. Such
knowledge is indeed necessary for managing an enterprise, but it is
insufficient 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 2015 is the fifth
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=fU0CBRoHCx1SCQ" 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, Participatory, 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 Design and Implementation</li>
<li>Enterprise Governance</li>

<h3>Organization</h3>
</div>
<p>The 5th Enterprise Engineering Working Conference in 2015 follows
the successful preceding conferences in 2014, 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.<br>
<br>
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 2015 is
planned to be a real working conference, providing ample time for
profound discussions following short presentations.</p>
<h3>Publication</h3>
<p>The EEWC proceedings will be published in the Springer LNBIP series:
“<a href="http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=fU0CBBoHCx1SCQ" target="_blank">Lecture
Notes in Business Information Processing</a>“.</p>
<h3>Submission</h3>
<p>Papers should be submitted in PDF format. The results described must
be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. Submissions must
conform to Springer’s LNBIP format and should not exceed 15 pages,
including all text, figures, references and appendices. Submissions not
conforming to the LNBIP format or exceeding 15 pages will be rejected
without review. Information about the Springer LNBIP format can be
found at Springer LNBIP web page mentioned above. Three to five
keywords characterizing the paper should be indicated at the end of the
abstract.</p>
<p>For submissions please go to our <a href="http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=fU0FDxoHCx1SCQ" >Easychair
