Accepted Papers

Call for Papers

The EDOC conference series brings together leading computer science researchers, IT decision makers, enterprise architects, solution designers and practitioners to discuss enterprise computing challenges, models and solutions from the perspectives of academia, industry and government.

The conference emphasizes a holistic view of enterprise applications engineering and management, fostering integrated approaches that can address and relate processes, people and technology.

The conference welcomes high-quality scientific submissions as well as experience papers from industry.

Topics

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).

EDOC is offering two submission rounds:

First Round: 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).

Second Round: Papers submitted by the second deadline are reviewed in the traditional way in one review round.

Examples of topics of interest are:

• Enterprise Architecture & Engineering
• Methods, Frameworks, Reference Models, and Tools, for Enterprise Architecture
• Enterprise architecture for networked organisations
• Architecture level concerns, such as interoperability, security, sustainability, etc.
• Architectural impact of new technologies, including AI, cloud computing, edge computing, blockchain, etc.
• Service-Oriented Software System Architectures
• Service composition, orchestration and choreography
• Service policies, contract definition and enforcement
• Software & services modeling languages and approaches
• Architectures for cyber-physical systems
• Software architecture level concerns, such as interoperability, security, sustainability, etc.
• Model-Based Software Engineering
• Software engineering methods for enterprise computing
• Model-driven architectures and software development
• Domain specific modeling languages (DSML)
• Engineering of digital twins
• Low code platforms
• Enterprise Security
• Information Security
• Cybersecurity
• Sensing and Awareness
• Threat modeling, attack simulation, intrusion detection and prevention
• Access control & SOA security
• Blockchain and enterprise security
• Privacy Preserving Technologies
• Business Process and Business rules
• Process modeling, verification, configuration, architectures and enabling infrastructures
• Process mining and robotic process automation
• Business process agility/flexibility and decision management
• Business rule languages and engines, process compliance
• Semantics and Information Management
• Business object modeling methodologies and approaches
• Enterprise taxonomies, ontologies and business knowledge integration
• Master data management, data mining and (real-time) data
• Data quality and trustworthiness
• Combining data-driven and symbolic modeling approaches
• Modeling in an enterprise context
• Philosophical, linguistic, and mathematical foundations of modeling
• Return on modeling effort
• Design and evolution of modeling languages and frameworks
• Modeling practices and modeling capabilities in enterprises
• Experience reports and case studies on models at work (in an enterprise context)
• Foundational or methodological impact of new tools for enterprise architecture and requirements management, in special large language models (LLM) and related services.

Submissions

EDOC 2026 is offering two submission deadlines (see important dates):

Papers submitted by the first deadline may be accepted in a first review round. Alternatively, authors of not accepted papers may be invited to submit a revised version 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. Submissions must have at most 15 pages (excluding bibliography), and must follow the Springer CS Style (an Overleaf LaTeX template is available).

Submissions must be done in English, as PDF files, via EasyChair (be careful in submitting in the correct track): https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cbiedoc2026

Important dates

• First submission deadline: 20 March 2026
• First submission notification: 26 April 2026
• Second submission deadline: 22 May 2026
• Second submission notification: 08 July 2026
• Author registration: 07 August 2026
• CBI & EDOC conference: Tue 15 - Fri 18 September 2026

Publication

The proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

FAIR Guidelines

In order to increase the reuse and reproducibility of the contributions of the papers published at CBI-EDOC, the artifacts described/analysed/reported in them should be (minimally) FAIR. For this, the authors should indicate, in the submission form, the type(s) of the artifact that plays a major role in the paper and follow the provided FAIR Guidelines.

The FAIRness of these artifacts will NOT be considered in the review process. However, only papers that follow the FAIR Guidelines will be published in the proceedings. Right after the review notifications, the authors will also receive instructions on how to complete the FAIR Guidelines and have until the camera-ready deadline to follow them.
