EDOC 2024

by Fabrizio Fornari, April 17, 2024

EDOC 2024 is the 28th conference in the EDOC series. EDOC conferences traditionally provide a key forum for researchers and practitioners in Enterprise Design, Operations and Computing, by addressing the full range of models, methodologies, and engineering technologies contributing to building and evolving intra- and inter-enterprise software systems.

EDOC 2024 will be hosted by the Business Informatics Group (BIG), a research unit of the Institute of Information Systems Engineering at TU Wien Informatics, in Vienna, Austria. It will be part of the Business Informatics Week 2024, being collocated with the 26th International Conference on Business Informatics (CBI 2024).

The conference welcomes high-quality scientific submissions and experience papers from industry. Additionally, expert panel discussions and keynotes will address current topics and issues in this domain.

This year, for the first time, the conference is offering two submission deadlines. Papers submitted by the first deadline may be accepted or rejected directly in a first review round. Alternatively, authors may be invited to submit a revised version of the paper to a second round for re-examination (with feedback similar to journal submissions). Papers submitted by the second deadline are reviewed in the traditional way in one review round.

Modeling in an enterprise context
  • Philosophical, linguistic, and mathematical foundations of modeling
  • Return on modeling effort
  • Design and evolution of modeling languages and frameworks
  • Modeling practices and modeling capabilities in enterprises
  • Experience reports and case studies on models at work (in an enterprise context)

==Submission guidelines==

We solicit submissions of scientific papers that describe original results not having been accepted or submitted for publication elsewhere. These papers will be peer-reviewed based on their scientific and technical contribution, originality, and relevance. These also include case studies following a formal case study research method (e.g., involving elaborate and well-structured gathering and processing of data from the case(s)).

Papers should:
  • be submitted in PDF;
  • comply with the Springer LNCS style (an Overleaf LaTeX template is available for your convenience); and
  • Have at most 15 pages (excluding references).
Submissions should be made via Easychair: Submit via Easychair (choose track EDOC)

==Publication==

The proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Starting this year, EDOC will adopt a post-proceeding format. That is, authors will be allowed to submit the final version of their papers after the conference, having the opportunity to improve them with the feedback received during the conference. To support this, papers may be extended by 1 page.

We hope you will join us!
