Call for Workshop Proposals
The 30th IEEE International Enterprise Distributed Object Computing Conference (EDOC 2026) will be co-located with the IEEE Conference on Business Informatics (CBI 2026) in Enschede (the Netherlands) from 15 – 18 September 2026. Together these conferences provide a premier forum for the enterprise computing and business informatics communities. We invite proposals for half‑day or one‑day workshops to be held on Tuesday, 15 September 2026 (immediately preceding the main conference). Workshops create opportunities for focused, interactive discussions on emerging research themes, novel application domains, and cross-community collaborations.
Scope and Topics
Workshop topics should complement the scope of EDOC and CBI. We welcome proposals on established enterprise computing themes and new areas of inquiry, such as:
- Enterprise architectures; service-oriented and cloud architectures; software engineering
- Socio-technical perspective in enterprise computing (e.g., addressing interactivity, human/social aspects, adaptability and user-centricity)
- Business process and business rule management; case management; advanced analytics and AI
- Advanced analytics and machine learning: predictive analytics, generative AI and foundation models (e.g., LLMs) for enterprise computing, explainable AI (XAI), data-centric AI practices, and AI-driven decision support
- Sustainability and green ICT; digital ethics and human rights; responsible AI
- Interoperability, federation, and integration (data, process, systems)
- Model-driven engineering; digital twins; distributed ledgers and smart contracts
- Enterprise security, privacy, consent; governance, risk, and compliance
- Semantics, information management, knowledge graphs; human–machine collaboration
- Human–machine collaboration: human–computer interaction in enterprise systems, sociotechnical aspects of automation, collaborative intelligence, and the design of user-centric interfaces for enterprise applications
Innovative formats beyond traditional paper presentations are encouraged (e.g. panels, hands on sessions, hackathons, demonstrations). Workshops must be held in English and have an international program committee.
Workshop Proposal Contents
Proposals (max. 6 pages, PDF) should succinctly address the following:
