New information technologies such as AI, Digital Twins, Block Chain, Big Data, IoT, etc, enable enterprises to innovate their core activities, from their information systems, via their business processes, to their business models. These innovations pose design and engineering challenges which, in their turn, result in several research challenges for the fields of enterprise modelling and information systems architectures. At the same time, the new information technologies also provide new opportunities to support the work involved in (continuous) design and engineering of enterprises and their information systems. Examples include (IoT based) process and enterprise mining, the use of AI to help in the creation of models, low-code platforms, etc.

EMISA 2023 is the thirteenth international workshop in a series that provides a key forum for researchers and practitioners in the field on design methods for information systems. The workshop series emphasises the need for a coherent view on this field, fostering integrated approaches that address and relate all relevant aspects of enterprises (e.g. value propositions, business services, business processes, business rules, information systems, IT infrastructures), cross-cutting concerns (e.g. security, privacy, compliance) across stakeholders, designers, engineers, and domain experts

Subjects

The workshop is open to a broad range of subjects. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

• Patterns for enterprise and information systems architectures
• Service and value modelling
• Process modelling and process-aware information systems
• Complex event processing and event-driven architectures
• Domain-specific modeling methods and languages
• Meta-modeling and foundational ontologies
• Theoretical foundations of (enterprise) modelling
• Method engineering
• Quality of modelling methods and languages, and, (architecture) models
• Learning and teaching methods and languages
• Process mining, and enterprise mining in general
• Assisted enterprise and information systems modelling

The workshop is organized by the GI Special Interest Group on Design Methods for Information Systems (GI-SIG EMISA), which provides a forum for researchers from various disciplines who develop and apply methods to support the analysis and design of information systems.

Submissions

EMISA 2023 calls for submissions in the following categories:

1. PhD Research Proposals (short paper of up to 5 pages): There will be a dedicated slot in the program to discuss PhD research proposals including the current status and the further plan of the research work.
2. Current Research Talk Proposals (extended abstract of up to 2 page): Proposals for scientific talks of international excellence. Eligible are proposal submissions that are based on published or accepted papers from international conferences or journals.
3. Novel Directions Talk Proposals (short paper of up to 6 pages): Proposals for talks that motivate a novel research direction, outline the research gaps to address, and carve out major challenges. These talks shall serve as a stimulus for discussions as part of a dedicated slot in the workshop program.
4. Case Reports: EMISA 2023 explicitly welcomes reports on real-world cases involving modelling in an enterprise context. To this end, EMISA 2023 collaboratives with other events (e.g. EMMSAD, ER, CBI, and PoEM) to gather such case reports. See www.models-at-work.org for more details.

Any manuscript should be submitted to https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=emisa2023. You will have to choose the category as a topic during the submission process in EasyChair. Please, select exactly one of the topics for indicating whether you are submitting for the category PhD Research Proposals, Current Research Talk Proposals, Novel Direction Talk Proposals or Case Report.

Publication

• The extended abstracts of the Current Research Talks will be published in the Digital Library of the GI.
• The short papers of PhD Research Proposals and Novel Directions Talk, will be published as an electronic CEUR proceedings volume.
• For the publication channel used for Case Reports, please refer to www.models-at-work.org
