Call for Papers: 2nd International Workshop on Advanced Enterprise Architecture and Repositories (AER 2010)

Call for Papers:
2nd International Workshop on Advanced
Enterprise Architecture and Repositories (AER 2010) at ICEIS 2010


The 2nd International Workshop on Advanced Enterprise Architecture and
Repositories (AER 2010) is planned to take place in conjunction with
12th International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems (ICEIS
2010). The ICEIS series of conferences bring together researchers,
engineers and practitioners interested in the advances and business
applications of enterprise information systems.The conference is
scheduled to take place from 8 – 12 June 2010, in Funchal, Madeira –
Portugal.

The AER 2010 Workshop will be co-sponsored by INSTICC. The Open Group
Architecture Forum, and the Enterprise Architecture Research Forum.

Background and Goals of the AER 2010 Workshop
Enterprise Architecture (EA) remains high on the agenda of both
business and government. The advancement of EA has been rapid, despite
being highly complex and multidimensional. Although there are many
reports on success, there is still much confusion within both the
practitioner and scientific communities with regards to issues such as
adoption, integration, governance and alignment. The academic and
research communities therefore need to actively participate in the
establishment of foundations for EA, to enable this dynamic field will
to fulfil its promises. The goal of this workshop is to establish a 
basis for presenting
fundamental and applied research on EA, and also to provide researchers,
academics and practitioners with a platform for discussions and
publishing in this field.
We invite participants to contribute to establishing a research
foundation for EA in general, and also enterprise repositories, in
particular. The latter is important because storing and maintaining the
huge volume of architectural output in is major challenge for EA. Topics 
of Interest
We are inviting papers that fall within the scope of the workshop as
described above. We are especially interested in papers addressing one
or more of the following topics: General topics:EA frameworks
Theory and practice in EA EA methodologies and tools
EA repositories Enterprise engineering

Other topics may include, but are not limited to:Evolution of EA
Architectures and design principles for repositories
Modelling including strategy modelling, business modelling, application
modelling, data modelling, technological infra-structure modelling
Model analysis, verification and validation
Specification of views, viewpoints and layers
Notations, languages and standards for organizational engineering
Ontologies in enterprise engineering
EA reference models, meta-models and frameworks
Business process management, including business process mining and
clustering, business process patterns, process orchestration and
coordination
Vertical alignment between strategy, business, support systems and
technology
Integration: enterprise, business and enterprise application
integration
EA and e-government, organizational theory, system development
Maturity models for EA artefacts and processes
Measurements, metrics, analysis, and evaluation of EA artefacts and
processes
EA and service oriented architecture (SOA)
Integration of service-oriented and legacy architectures
Case studies for EA including adoption, governance, alignment and
integration, managing complexity.

Paper Submission
Prospective authors are invited to submit papers for oral presentation
in any of the topics listed above. The workshop welcomes two types of 
submissions:Full papers describing
fundamental and applied research related to EA or EA repositories. The
maximum length of a full paper is 10 pages. Position papers describing 
fundamental and applied work in progress
research related to EA or EA repositories.The maximum length of a short
paper is 4 pages.
All papers will undergo a double-blind peer-review process and will be
selected on the basis of relevance, clarity and technical quality. At
least one author should attend the workshop to present the paper. 
Instructions for submissions are available at the conference
submissions web page (http://www.iceis.org/Submission_Guidelines.htm).
Please make sure to use the workshops templates, in MS Word or Latex
formats) (http://www.iceis.org/Paper_Templates.htm), which are different
from those of the main conference. Papers should be submitted
electronically via the web-based submission system at:
http://www.insticc.org/Primoris

Publications
All accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings,
under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support.
Registration Information
At least one author of an accepted paper must register for the
workshop. If the registration fees are not received by 21 April, 2010
the paper will not be published in the workshop proceedings book.
