       TEAR: Trends in Enterprise Architecture Reserach

                    13th TEAR Workshop 2018
                  October 16, 2018, Stockholm

                          Call for Papers
==============================================

The 13th TEAR workshop is organized in conjunction with IEEE EDOC 2018
<http://www.edoc2018.conf.kth.se>, October 16-19, Stockholm, Sweden.

The international TEAR workshop series <http://www.tear-series.org> brings
together Enterprise Architecture (EA) researchers from different research
communities and provides a forum to present EA research results and to
discuss future EA research directions.

The field of Enterprise Architecture (EA) has gained considerable attention
over the last years. EA significantly contributes to organizations’ need to
adapt increasingly fast to changing customer requirements and business
goals. This need influences the entire chain of activities of an
enterprise, from business processes to IT support. Moreover, a change in
one component of the overall architecture may influence many other
components of the architecture. For example, when a new product is
introduced, business processes for production, sales, and after-sales need
to be adapted. It may be necessary to change applications, or even adapt
the IT infrastructure. Each of these fields will have its own (partial)
architectures. To keep the enterprise architecture coherent and aligned
with the business goals, the relations between these different
architectures must be explicit, and a change should be carried through in
all architectures. In contrast to traditional architecture management
approaches such as IT architecture, software architecture, or IS
architecture, EA explicitly incorporates “pure” business-related artifacts
in addition to traditional IS/IT artifacts. For Enterprise Architecture the
focus is on the overall enterprise and concerns its organization, its
components, the relationship between components, and principles governing
its design and evolution.

Topics
=====
Topics relevant for submissions include, but are not limited to, the
following:

* EA management and impact
  (e.g. drivers, governance, obstacles and measurement)
* EA and decision-making
  (e.g. analysis, investigation and collaboration)
* EA modelling
  (e.g. reference models, viewpoints, quality and tools)
* EA and digitization
  (e.g. models, impact and digital transformation)
* EA and related disciplines
  (e.g. BPM, project management and software engineering)
* EA research approaches
  (methodologies and theories)
* EA Cases and implementation
  (case studies and business cases)
