Our Goal

Enterprise Architecture (EA) is described as a means to cope with organizations’ ever-increasing complexity by ensuring that organizations appropriately use and optimize their technical resources. EA is therefore seen as an integrated and holistic vision of an enterprise’s fundamental organization, embodied in its elements (people, processes, applications, etc.), their relationships to each other and to the environment, and the principles guiding its design and evolution. Enterprise Engineering (EE) is defined the engineering skills and activities necessary to construct and implement enterprise architecture.
The goal of the EAE TC is to provide a forum for exchanging ideas among EA and EE researchers and engineers through scientific events such as the organization of invited sessions at IEEE SMC Society (SMCS) conferences and workshops.

Recent Activities

The EAE TC’s mission is to promote the enterprise architecture and enterprise engineering domains internationally and we therefore focus on the following activities:

  • Create and organize annual international and local events focusing on enterprise architecture and engineering.
  • Publish relevant research and case studies in enterprise architecture and engineering, and create opportunities for such publications.

Recent activities of the EAE TC include:

  • Organising the annual international ES Conference in collaboration with the SMC EIS TC:

    • The 4th International Conference on Enterprise Systems was organized by Gang Li and Yale Yu and held in Melbourne, Australia, 2-3 November 2016. (http://www.es2016.conferences.academy/)
    • The 3rd International Conference on Enterprise Systems, ES2015 was organized by Prof Knut Hinkelmann, FHNW, Switzerland, and was held 14-15 October 2015 in Basel, Switzerland (http://www.es2015.org/home)
    • The second international conference on Enterprise Systems, ICES 2014, was held in Shanghai, China, August 2-3, 2014.
    • The first international conference on Enterprise Systems, ES 2013, was held in Cape Town, South Africa, 7-8 November 2013.
  • EAE TC members were involved in a proposal for a workshop on advanced enterprise modeling for ICEIS 2017 (http://www.iceis.org/Workshops.aspx#AEM).
  • The TC organised a special track at SMC 2016 (http://smc2016.org/node/9)
  • In 2015 / 2016 members of the TC submitted two papers in a Special Issue: Computers in Industry: Special Issue on Future Perspectives on Next Generation Enterprise Information Systems: Emerging Domains and Application that were accepted:
