Call for participation: 5th Enterprise Engineering Working Conference - Prague - Czech Republic (EEWC 2015) **Call for participation** **5th Enterprise Engineering Working Conference - June 15-19 2015 - Prague, Czech Republic ** 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. Please read and forward this to whoever may be interested in the conference. The Call for Papers follows below. 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 here <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=YU0LBhoHCx1Q> . 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: "Capability Driven Development of Context-aware Enterprise Applications – Challenges, Approach and Experiences". The Industry Track will also have a Keynote presentation by Tomas Formanek - CEO and R&D Director of Logio <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=YU0LBxoHCx1Q> : "Simplicity - One thing in today’s complexity". See abstracts and bios of the speakers here <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=YU0LBBoHCx1Q> . 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 here <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=YU0LBhoHCx1Q> . 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. 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. You can register for the conference here <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=YU0LBRoHCx1Q> . Please forward this message to your colleagues that might be interested in participating. If you have any question, please do not hesitate to contact us.

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=YU0CBRoHCx1Q> . 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=YU0CBBoHCx1Q> “. **Submission** Papers should be submitted in PDF format.
