EDOC 2024: 28th International Conference on Enterprise Design, Operations and Computing

9-13th September 2024, Vienna, Austria

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.

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)

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.

Review

All papers will be refereed by at least 3 members of the international programme committee, while a dedicated programme board will oversee the general reviewing process.

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.

Participation

Each paper must have one of its authors registered to EDOC 2024 by the author registration deadline (see important dates above). The organizers reserve the right to remove a paper from the proceedings if no author is registered by then.

Only papers presented during the conference will be published in the proceedings.
