Blockchain for Process and Information Science

B4PIS24

In an interconnected society, the demand for effective coordination among organizations highlights the need for robust solutions in the context of process and information science. On the other hand, research on blockchain technology has given the ability to ensure data integrity and to facilitate secure transactions without central authority. This capability is pivotal for enhancing the transformation towards more integrated systems. The main goal of the workshop is to explore how blockchain can foster innovation in the design and implementation of blockchain-based information systems and enterprise applications, as well their impact on society.

Modelling and Implementation of Digital Twins for Complex Systems

MIDas4CS

September 10th (Tuesday)

11:00 - 12:30

14:00 - 15:30

The concept of Digital Twin is becoming increasingly popular since it was introduced in the scope of the Smart Industry (Industry 4.0). A Digital Twin (DT) is a digital representation of a physical twin that is a real-world entity, system, or event. It mirrors a distinctive object, process, building, or human, regardless of whether that thing is tangible or non-tangible in the real world. The DT technology potentially provides benefits such as real-time remote monitoring and control; greater efficiency and safety; predictive maintenance and scheduling; scenario and risk assessment; better intra- and inter-team synergy and collaborations; more efficient and informed decision support system; personalisation of products and services; and better documentation and communication. The ultimate purpose of Digital Twins is to improve decision-making for solving real-world problems, by using the digital model to create the information necessary for decision-making and subsequently applying the decisions in the real world. Nowadays, Digital Twins are not limited to industrial applications but are spreading to other areas as well, such as, for example, in the healthcare domain, in personalised medicine and clinical trials for drug development. This workshop aims at getting a better understanding of the techniques that can be used to model and implement Digital Twins and their applications in different domains. In this workshop, we welcome contributions that aim at introducing formal definitions of Digital Twin, but also contributions that describe applications of Digital Twins in different domains. Contributions on tooling for Digital Twins are also welcome.

International Workshop on the Internet of Things and Smart Services

ITSS

Over the last decade, various technologies have moved to the qualitatively new phase of development. Mobile wireless communications, new data retrieval and new data processing techniques have been introduced. All of that with the Internet of Everything paradigm and customer-centric approach formed a new concept of the Smart Services. Smart Services concept means that soon we might have fully globalized services that would allow business to transform according to a new step of globalization considering customer-centric approach and digital economy based on data. Pandemic situation showed us how important Smart Services are in terms of supporting us in our everyday activities. Those services might also include solutions based on distributed ledger technology which is in a stage of implementation at the moment. AI-approaches as a core for data analysis and predictive analytics are becoming very important part of modern Smart Services forming eco-systems of digital solutions supporting people globally. ITSS2024 is an international workshop on advances in theory, applications and different approaches to using IoT and Smart Services. This workshop is about business transformation due to digital economy implementation and about new types of services and innovative business models stemming from the high impact of IoT and data-based services as the next step in globalization including new strategy and recommendations on Digital Economy by WEF.

2nd International Workshop on Empirical Methodologies for Research in Enterprise Architecture and Service-oriented Computing

iResearch

September 10th (Tuesday)

9:30 - 10:30

The purpose of the 2nd International Workshop on Empirical Methodologies for Research in Enterprise Architecture and Service-oriented Computing (iRESEARCH) at CBI+EDOC’24 is to initiate the conversation on shaping the cross-fertilization of the discipline of Enterprise Architecture (EA) and Service-oriented Computing (SOC) and Empirical Research Methodologies (ERM). The workshop goals are: (a) to open up the interdisciplinary debate on the steadily moving frontiers in empirical methodologies in support of EA and SOC research projects, and (b) to expand the network of researchers designing and conducting empirical studies in EA and in the sub-fields of SOC, which in turn will lead to the cross-fertilization between these two fields and ERM. CBI and EDOC form a well-established community of researchers proposing a wide range of approaches, techniques, and tools that address various problems in the disciplines of Enterprise Architecture (EA) and Service-oriented Computing (SOC). Systematic efforts to evaluate and compare usefulness, effectiveness, and utility of such proposals resulted in a growing attention to methods for empirical assessment. Design science, action research, case studies and experiments, hence, become indispensable and valuable ways to check proposals with respect to the reality, thus allowing to understand their actual value, cost, and benefits in particular contexts. The iRESEARCH workshop invites scientists in EA and SOC to exchange ideas on why and how the empirical research methods can help to assess and improve existing or new approaches in EA and SOC.

The 16th Workshop on Service oriented Enterprise Architecture for Enterprise Engineering

SoEA4EE

Enterprise Engineering (EE) is the application of engineering principles to the design of Enterprise Architectures (EA). It enables deriving the Enterprise Architecture from the enterprise goals and strategy, and aligning it with the enterprise resources in the Computing Continuum. Enterprise architecture maps the enterprise goal and strategy to the enterprise’s resources (actors, assets, IT supports) and supports the evolution of this mapping. It also provides documentation on the assignment of enterprise resources to the enterprise goals and strategy, e.g., for establishing new business models such as platforms. The SoEA4EE workshop focuses on the paradigm of encapsulating digital resources and capacities as services for enterprise architecture. The workshop aims to develop concepts and methods to assist the engineering and management of service-oriented enterprise architectures (SoEA) and the software systems supporting them in the Computing Continuum.

Digital Innovation and Architecture, Methods towards Ecosystem Societies

DIAMES-2024

The EDOC Workshop – Digital Innovation and Architecture, Methods toward Ecosystem Societies – covers fundamental and practical aspects to support the digital transformation toward Ecosystem Society. We are delighted to invite contributions to the EDOC Workshop – Digital Innovation and Architecture, Methods toward Ecosystem Societies covering Industry 4.0 and Society 5.0. Our aim is to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to discuss both technological and business aspects in the context of digital innovation and architectures, methods, processes, services, products, platforms and business models toward ecosystem societies. We also investigate how digital innovation and architectures support new ways of value co-creation for ecosystem societies covering Industry 4.0 and Society 5.0.
