SCOPE

Enterprise Information Systems increasingly comprise complex elements for interaction, with both the users and the involving environment, and for forecasting business related events and supporting business decisions.
Enterprise software supports business processes from the factory plant to the enterprise strategic management level, and even crosses enterprises’ borders, by enabling integration between business partners across a given business value chain.
Enterprise software includes many types of application, such as ERP, SCM, MES, CPS (Smart Industry), and many others, comprising software and dedicated hardware designed together, bringing IoT into the enterprise and into the supply chain. Each of these types of systems supports a specific business function, being their integration a major advantage inside the enterprise and across a business value chain.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
  • Enterprise Software and Systems Engineering
  • Tools, Techniques, and Methodologies for Enterprise Systems Development
  • Digital Transformation Management
  • Business-ICT Alignment
  • Environmentally Sustainable ICT
  • Business Models and Supporting Information Systems
  • Advanced Information Systems Architectures
  • Applications and Systems for New Business Concepts
  • Digital Twins and IoT in the Enterprise and Business Value Chains
  • Enterprise Cloud and Cloud-based Business Services
  • Novel architectures for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Smart Logistics and Manufacturing
