Dear Colleagues,

We will be grateful to you for advertising the 8th Workshop on Service oriented Enterprise Architecture for Enterprise Engineering (SoEA4EE'2015), for submitting your work and inviting your colleagues and/or research students to submit their work.

SoEA4EE'2016 is organised in conjunction with the 20th International Enterprise Computing Conference (EDOC) on September 5 or 6, 2016, Vienna, Austria. The goal of the SoEA4EE'2015 workshop is to develop concepts and methods to assist the engineering and the management of service-oriented enterprise architectures
(SoEA) and the software systems supporting them.

Workshop proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press and be made accessible through IEEE Xplore and the IEEE Computer Society Digital Library.

The Call for Papers (PDF format) can be downloaded from the SoEA4EE'2016 Web sites :

or

In 2012, the authors of the selected papers from the four previous editions of SoEA4EE have been invited to submit an extended version of their paper to a special issue of the International Journal of Information Systems in the Service Sector (IJISSS). Eight extended papers have been submitted. The IJISSS Special Issue, 7(1) January-March 2015, presents four papers selected after a two-round peer review and covering a broad spectrum of themes in Service Oriented Enterprise Architecture Engineering from technical to conceptual and managerial themes.

This year, again, a Special Issue is organised in IJISSS with selected papers from the editions 2013, 2014 and 2015 of the SoEA4EE workshop.

Best regards,
Selmin Nurcan & Rainer Schmidt

CALL FOR PAPERS

http://www.soea4ee.org/

Eight International Workshop on Service oriented Enterprise Architecture for
Enterprise Engineering (SoEA4EE'16)

in conjunction with EDOC 2016

September 5 or 6, 2016, Vienna, Austria
http://edoc2016.univie.ac.at/

Papers submission deadline: April 15, 2016

Organisers:
Selmin Nurcan – University Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne, France
Rainer Schmidt – Munich University of Applied Sciences, Germany



--------
GOAL
--------
The goal of the workshop is to develop concepts and methods to assist the
engineering and the management of service-oriented enterprise architectures and
the software systems supporting them.


-------------------------------
TOPICS OF DISCUSSION
-------------------------------
During the workshop we will discuss the following topics:

1. Alignment of the enterprise goals and strategy with the SoEA
- Which interdependencies exist between services and business strategy?
- Which concepts and methods are necessary to align services with the
business strategy?
- Which new potentials to reengineer business processes are created by
services?
- How are non-functional requirements derived from enterprise goals and
strategy?
- How are services aligned with non-functional requirements?
- How are services aligned with compliance requirements?

2. SoEA and influence of social and big data in Enterprise Engineering
- How does SoEA have to change in order to comply with the new possibilities
of Big Data (volume, variety, velocity, veracity)?
- What are the information flows of Big Data integrated into Enterprise
Architecture?
- How does social production influence SoEA?
- How can the creation of weak ties be supported in SoEA?
- How to support collective decision processes in SoEA?
- How does SoEA interrelate with cloud computing?
- How are Enterprise Architectures designed using cloud-services?
- How differ cloud-services from other kinds of services?
- How are Enterprise Architectures designed using cloud-environments?

3. Compliance of SoEA with cloud-based enterprise resources
- Which resources are relevant for SoEA?
- How are services mapped to cloud-based enterprise resources?
- Which approaches exist to map services to resources?
- Which information system architectures are adequate for services?
- How can non-functional requirements be mapped to capacity planning of
cloud-based resources?

4. Design of SoEA
- How are business, software, platform and infrastructure services defined?
- How are business services assigned to business processes?
- Which phases do the lifecycle of business, software, platform and
infrastructure services contain?
- How can the fulfilment of non-functional requirements be monitored?
- Which benchmarks and key performance indicators should be applied to
services?
- Which approaches exist for the continual improvement of services?

5. Management of SoEA
- Are the compliance and governance requirements enforced using SoEA?
- How do meta-services differentiate for business, software, platform and
infrastructure services?
- How are appropriate meta-services designed?
- How are service (value) nets -consisting of business, software, platform
and infrastructure services- created?
- Which meta-services are necessary for cloud-environments?

6. Digital enterprises
- How does digitization affect enterprise architecture and enterprise
engineering?
- Which architectural patterns are necessary to support digital enterprises?
- How does the support of digitized products impact the design of enterprise
architectures?
- What changes are necessary to support the transformation of physical
products to services?


-----------------
SUBMISSION
-----------------
Full papers (8-10 pages in the IEEE-CS format) describing mature results are
sought. In addition, short/position papers (4-6 pages in the IEEE-CS format)
may be submitted to facilitate discussion of recent research results and
ongoing projects. Industry experience reports provide new insights gained in
case studies or when applying service-oriented EA for enterprise engineering
are also welcome. The paper selection will be based upon the relevance of a
paper to the main topics, as well as upon its quality and potential to generate
relevant discussion. All contributions will be peer reviewed based on the
complete version, being full or short.

Please note that all submissions should be made in PDF format and comply with
the [IEEE Computer Society Conference Proceedings Format
Guidelines](http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html).
The proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press and be
made accessible through IEEE Xplore and the IEEE Computer Society Digital
Library.

Please submit your paper to Easychair at
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=soea4ee2016

At least one author of each accepted workshop paper will have to register for
the whole EDOC 2016 conference and attend the workshop to present the paper.
Analogously to previous years, there will be no workshop-only registration at
EDOC 2016. If a paper is not presented in the workshop, it will be removed from
the workshop proceedings published in the IEEE Xplore digital library.

The SoEA4EE workshop has been a full day workshop in conjunction with EDOC’09
in New Zealand, with EDOC’10 in Brasil, EDOC’11 in Finland, EDOC 2012 in
China, EDOC’2013 in Canada, EDOC’2014 in Germany and EDOC'2015 in
Australia. The programs of the previous editions can be found from the portal

EXPECTED RESULTS
-------------------------
The workshop will consist of long and short paper presentations, brainstorming
sessions and discussions. A workshop report will be created collaboratively
using the workshop wiki.

SoEA4EE have been invited to submit an extended version of their paper to a
special issue of the International Journal of Information Systems in the
Service Sector (IJISSS). Eight extended papers have been submitted. The IJISSS
Special Issue, 7(1) January-March 2015, presents four papers selected after a
