Scientific Scope:
Modern Enterprises rely on computer-based information systems, which increasingly comprise complex elements of interaction with both the users and the environment in which they are installed. Enterprise information systems are increasingly complex, to match the also increasing competitiveness and complexity of the markets and organizational environments. Enterprise software supports business processes from the factory plant to the enterprise strategic management plan, and even crosses enterprises’ borders, by enabling integration between business partners across a given business value chain. Enterprise software includes today, not only the already common ERP, CRM, SCM, and many other application types, but also Manufacturing Execution Systems, Management Information Systems, Executive Decision Support Systems, and Cyber-Physical Systems (Smart Industry), comprising software and dedicated hardware designed together, bringing IoT into the enterprise and into the supply chain. Each of these types of systems supports a specific business function, being their integration a major advantage inside the enterprise and across a business value chain.

Topics of interest:
– Enterprise Software and Systems Engineering
– Tools, Techniques, and Methodologies for Enterprise Systems Development
– Digital Transformation Management
– Business-ICT Alignment
– Integration of Enterprise Systems
– Environmentally Sustainable ICT
– Enterprise Cloud and Mobile-based Systems and Services
– Enterprise Collaborative Interfaces
– Business Models and supporting Information Systems
– Applications and Systems for new business concepts
– Cybersecurity in the Enterprise
– IoT in the Enterprise and Business Value Chains
– Novel architectures for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)
– Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT) for Traceability, Enterprise Systems, Smart Logistics and Manufacturing
– Digital Twins
