Conference Scope
==========================

Enterprise Systems (ES), also referred to as Enterprise Information Systems, has become
increasingly popular over the last 20 years because it integrates and extends business
processes across the boundaries of business functions and corporate walls, as well as
country border lines. As the key IT assets, ES enable industrial organizations and public
administrations to integrate, coordinate and evolve their business processes across
functional and organization boundaries and to effectively exploit information for
sustaining success of the enterprises. IEEE Conference on Enterprise Systems focuses on
both the technical and application aspects of enterprise systems and the complex and
cross-disciplinary problems of enterprise integration. Apart from that, the conference
deals with methods and technologies for the development, adoption, and application of
context-rich enterprise systems leading to smart machines or intelligent cloud services.
The conference committee invites submissions of applied or theoretical research and
application-oriented papers on all topics of Enterprise Systems. Topics include,
but are not limited to the following:
