Digitization and Digital Business

Digitization is the application of digital technologies for creating innovative digital business models and transforming existing business models and processes. Typical elements of digital enterprise architectures are the use of decision automation, predictive or even prescriptive analytics. In this way, digital technologies such as service-orientation, cloud-computing, big data, mobile or the internet of things enable the creation of new options for enterprises and organizations. Digital business models and process are crucial for many enterprises to achieve their strategic goals.

Due to the high diversity of concepts, the complexity of systems involved and the heterogeneity of stakeholders, it is crucial for the success of digitization and digital business to use methodically sound engineering approaches such as Digital Enterprise Architecture and Engineering. It embraces concepts from Computer Science, Business Information Systems, and Business Administration.

Goal of the Workshop

The goal of the workshop is to identify challenges from digitization for enterprises and to advance Digital Enterprise

Architecture and engineering to cope with these challenges. The workshop shall identify and develop concepts and methods that

assist the engineering and the management of digital enterprise architectures and the software systems supporting them.

Themes of the workshop

To achieve the goals of the workshop the following themes of research shall be pursued:
- Frameworks for the Design of Digital Enterprise Architectures
- Alignment of the enterprise goals and strategies with the digital enterprise architecture
- Design approaches for digital enterprise architecture
- Architectural patterns for service-orientation, cloud-computing, big data, mobile or the internet of things
- Mapping of digital enterprise architecture to cloud-based enterprise resources and big data
- Management of digital enterprise architecture
- Domain-specific application architectures
- Architecture Management for the digitization of business models and business processes
- Impact of digitization on society and economy
- Security in Digital Architectures
