The 11th Enterprise Engineering Track at ACM SAC 2014

Enterprise Engineering aims at researching concepts, methods and tools to facilitate the modelling, governance and analysis of the multiple aspects pertaining to an organization. Its primary focus is on understanding the relationships and dependencies between cross-cutting concerns such as business processes, goals, strategy, people and the supporting systems and technology. Enterprise Engineering therefore encompasses multi-disciplinary topics, such as business process modelling, business process management, enterprise architecture, enterprise ontology and business-IS-IT alignment.

In its eleventh edition, the ACM SAC Enterprise Engineering track provides an opportunity for theoretical research work and applied projects to be presented and shared, thus enabling researchers, academics and practitioners interested in enterprise engineering and related topics to advance the state of the art. The ACM SAC 2014 will be held in Gyeongju, Korea, on March 24-28 2014.

Submission Guidelines

The paper length is 6 pages using the ACM SIG format. Document templates (LaTeX, MS Word) are available at (http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2014/). Authors may opt to add 2 additional pages (at extra charge), up to a maximum total of 8 pages. Paper submissions must be anonymous and be made electronically in PDF format via the ACM SAC track management system at (https://www.softconf.com/d/sac2014/). Authors of quality papers that are not accepted as full papers will be invited to publish their work as a 3 page short paper presented as a poster during the conference.

Accepted papers will be published in the ACM SAC proceedings and indexed in the ACM and IEEE digital libraries. The authors of the best papers will be invited to submit and publish an extended version of their work to a specialized journal. At least one author is required to attend the conference and present the paper. Papers that are not presented will be removed from the proceedings.

The ACM SAC is a refereed conference and each paper will undergo a double-blind review by three referees. Papers will be evaluated according to their significance, technical content, originality, style and clarity. Note that ACM SAC has grown to be a competitive conference and that the acceptance rate is below 25%.
