EDOC 2022 is the 26th conference in the EDOC series that provides a key forum for researchers and practitioners in the field of Enterprise Computing. EDOC addresses the full range of models, methodologies, and engineering technologies contributing to building and evolving intra- and inter-enterprise software systems. From 2022 on, EDOC will be spelled-out "Enterprise Design, Operations and Computing" to reflect the broad range of aspects of interest to the conference.
EDOC 2022 will be collocated with the 28th International Conference on Cooperative Information Systems (CoopIS), and will take place in the beautiful region of South Tyrol in the Italian Alps.
EDOC 2022 calls for contributions with a special emphasis on the theme of designing and operating "Flexible Enterprises". This year's theme reflects an ever changing world under the influence of disruptive events, trends and technologies, as well as the increasing role of artificial intelligence.
In this context, new concepts and approaches are required: (a) to address pressing challenges in domains like healthcare, advanced manufacturing, finance, environmental management and sustainable agriculture, supply chain management and others, while ensuring compliance with ethical and legal principles, as well as long-term interoperability and resilience of enterprise systems; and (b) to leverage technologies such as digital twins, machine learning, IoT, big data analytics, distributed ledgers/blockchain in trusted enterprise practices. A particular challenge of interest in this scenario is the combined use of data-driven approaches (including machine learning) and other AI techniques with established modeling approaches for Enterprise Computing (including Enterprise Architecture Modeling, Business Process Modeling, Model-Driven Enterprise Systems Engineering, Conceptual Modeling, etc.) towards "augmented" enterprise systems.
EDOC 2022 welcomes high-quality scientific submissions as well as experience papers on enterprise computing from industry. Expert panel discussions and keynotes will address current topics and issues in this domain. (A separate call-for-papers will be issued for a demonstration track, a doctoral consortium and specific workshops.)
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
Two types of submissions are solicited:
The authors of selected papers will be invited to prepare a substantially revised and extended version to a Special Issue in Elsevier's Information Systems (JCR 2020 Impact Factor 2.309).
This year, EDOC will be collocated with CoopIS. We have opted to align the deadlines of both conferences. The important dates below have been adjusted accordingly.
