Program and Venue

In this page you find an overview of the 4th Enterprise Engineering Working Conference’s program, venue and list of accepted papers. Click here for the conference registration form, containing fields for all required information. Very special rates are offered in the official conference venue hotel – Vida Mar (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 payment you may be able to take care of registration fees, accommodation, airport transfers and flights. See details in the form. Bank transfer and credit cards are accepted.

The main conference program starts on Monday May 5th end of afternoon with a Conference Welcome Cocktail and ends Thursday May 8th just before lunch with the last paper session. On Monday May 5th we have the CIAO! Doctoral Consortium, also open to conference participants. On the other days surrounding the main conference program we have Optional Social programs and Enterprise Engineering Master Classes. These will be special sessions/meetings where authors and contributors of the current Enterprise Engineering Theories proposed by CIAO! Network will present their current views on such theories and lead group discussions with the purpose of further developing these theories making them as crisp and clear as they can be. These sessions will also be open to interested conference participants and whoever wants to read the contents of these theories and already participate in online discussions can join the CIAO! Online Forum.

Enterprise Architecture 3.0 – Stewarding enterprises in motion

by Henderik Proper – Public Research Centre – Henri Tudor, LuxembourgHenderik Proper

Abstract: In this talk we review the history of enterprise architecture in terms of a number of past trends. This will take us from Enterprise Architecture 1.0, where an enterprise architecture is considered to be primarily seen as shaping the IT architecture, to Enterprise Architecture 2.0, where enterprise architecture is considered as a means to enable co-design of several aspects of the enterprise including business and IT. We then reflect on the fundamental role of enterprise architecture as a means of stewarding enterprises in motion. Enterprises are constantly in motion, in the sense that they are changed by a myriad of spontaneous, ad-hoc, or premeditated change/transformation/evolution efforts. Taking this understanding as a starting point, we then reflect on the practical implications for enterprise architecture in the near future, Enterprise Architecture 3.0, where we will also visit notions such as enterprise cartography and 2nd order business intelligence.

Enterprise Architecture Planning at the Portuguese Government

Abstract: The Portuguese Government developed a global strategic plan to rationalize and decrease ICT costs in its Public Administration. The implementation of this strategy on ICT requires compliance with the guidelines of that strategic plan, which has the ultimate goal of achieving gains in savings and efficiency, envisioning a quality public service which presents lower costs for citizens and companies and simultaneously decreases public expenditures. The Portuguese law was changed in order to enforce that each new IT spending over 10.000 euros is submitted with an Information Systems’ Architecture to be approved by AMA, the Public Agency in charge of managing the Plan. AMA has defined a set of rules that are now part of the law, which defines the Architecture properties that must be verified for their approval. To address this need a tool (called EAMS) was implemented for the capture, maintenance, analysis and management of a Federated Architecture, providing autonomy to each Ministry but also the capability to verify the redundancies and opportunities to reuse, share and improve the investments at a national scale. Public Organizations use the EAMS front-office application to view Architectural blueprints and to propose new Architectural Scenarios. Every acquisition in each Public Organization is mapped as an Architectural Scenario transformation. And the set of all Architectural Scenario transformations provides a deep insight of how the global IT architecture is moving. This allows AMA to realize proper advices and actions – for example in the normalization domain – leading to important savings, and to a continuous alignment of Local and National ICT strategies.

The immensity of the organization in question requires us to leave the traditional approaches to Enterprise Architecture and follow an approach more in line with what Henderik Proper and Mark Lankhorst call “From State-thinking to Intervention-thinking”. The focus in the TO-BE behavior in detriment of the AS-IS state is also aligned with the concept of “Enterprise Governance and Enterprise Cartography” of José Tribolet and Pedro Sousa.
