Workshop on “Enterprise Modeling” at CAiSE’2016
The upcoming of recent trends such as Enterprise Mobility, Cloud Computing, Internet-of-Things, Cyber-Physical Systems and Factories-of-the-Future present profound challenges for today’s enterprises. This concerns both technological and organizational aspects that need to be taken into account for realizing innovative, user-centric, and sustainable solutions. Enterprise modeling offers a concept to cope with these challenges by using machine processable languages to facilitate the interaction with complex business and technological scenarios, by engaging in knowledge management and by supporting organizational engineering. It thus directly contributes to the design, implementation, use, and evaluation of solutions. Thereby it spans from traditional fields such as business process management and business intelligence to more recent areas such as enterprise architecture and semantic information systems.
In this workshop the discussion shall be fostered both on the foundations and applications in enterprise modeling, as well as on the model-based development and evolution of enterprise- wide IS from a conceptual / business perspective. For the description of innovative and rigorously elaborated research results a wide variety of research methodologies are welcomed including but not limited to the use of mathematical modeling, simulation, case studies, and prototyping methodologies.
