13th TEAR Workshop 2018, Stockholm

13th TEAR Workshop 2018, Stockholm

The 13th TEAR workshop is organized in conjunction with IEEE EDOC 2018, October 16-19, Stockholm, Sweden.

The international TEAR workshop series brings together Enterprise Architecture (EA) researchers from different research communities and provides a forum to present EA research results and to discuss future EA research directions.

The field of Enterprise Architecture (EA) has gained considerable attention over the last years. EA significantly contributes to organizations’ need to adapt increasingly fast to changing customer requirements and business goals. This need influences the entire chain of activities of an enterprise, from business processes to IT support. Moreover, a change in one component of the overall architecture may influence many other components of the architecture. For example, when a new product is introduced, business processes for production, sales, and after-sales need to be adapted. It may be necessary to change applications, or even adapt the IT infrastructure. Each of these fields will have its own (partial) architectures. To keep the enterprise architecture coherent and aligned with the business goals, the relations between these different architectures must be explicit, and a change should be carried through in all architectures. In contrast to traditional architecture management approaches such as IT architecture, software architecture, or IS architecture, EA explicitly incorporates “pure” business-related artifacts in addition to traditional IS/IT artifacts. For Enterprise Architecture the focus is on the overall enterprise and concerns its organization, its components, the relationship between components, and principles governing its design and evolution.

Topics

Topics relevant for submissions include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • EA management and impact
    (e.g. drivers, governance, obstacles and measurement)
  • EA and decision-making
    (e.g. analysis, investigation and collaboration)
  • EA modelling
    (e.g. reference models, viewpoints, quality and tools)
  • EA and digitization
    (e.g. models, impact and digital transformation)
  • EA and related disciplines
    (e.g. BPM, project management and software engineering)
  • EA research approaches
    (methodologies and theories)
  • EA Cases and implementation
    (case studies and business cases)
