email_extended_cfp **Call for papers** **5th Enterprise Engineering Working Conference - June 15-19 2015, Prague, Czech Republic ** Important date: March 8 - Paper submission deadline (extended)*. Proceedings published in Springer Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=YU0CBBoHAR1Q> (LNBIP). Please distribute this Call for Papers among your colleagues, and/or e-mail lists you belong to, that may be possibly interested in this conference. Experience the benefits of a Working Conference, an Industry Track and a Doctoral Consortium <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=YU0FDhoHAR1Q> in Prague, the "heart of Europe", as the capital of the Czech Republic is often referred to. Come and visit us on a venue, that breathes with history, architectural jewels, hearty cuisine and a unique atmosphere, providing inspiration and conditions for an interesting program with significant scientific advancement. **Motivation** 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. 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. 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. **Focus and Goal** 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 Enterprise Engineering Paradigm <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=YU0CBRoHAR1Q> . The result of the efforts should be theoretically rigorous and practically relevant. Topics of interest to this working conference include, but are not limited to: Business Process Management Business Process Modeling and Simulation Business Rules Business Rules Management Collaborative, Participatory, and Interactive Modeling Component-Based System Development Domain Ontologies Domain Reference Ontologies Enterprise Architecture Enterprise Design and Implementation Enterprise Governance Enterprise Modeling and Simulation Enterprise Ontology Information System Architectures Information System Ontologies Information Systems Design Information Systems Development Modeling (cross-enterprise) Business Processes Ontology Implementation Reference Models for (cross-enterprise) Business Processes Service Oriented Architecture Service Oriented Design **Organization** 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. 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. **Publication** The EEWC proceedings will be published in the Springer LNBIP series: “Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=YU0CBBoHAR1Q> “. **Submission** 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. For submissions please go to our Easychair conference web page <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=YU0FDxoHAR1Q> and sign-up or sign-in, submit your abstract and upload your paper taking in account the dates specified below.
