Preface – Transformation & Engineering of Enterprises (TEE)
The 9th TEE (Transformation & Engineering of Enterprises) series of workshops is an evolution,
and merger, of the successful PRET and AppEER workshops (which merged into TEE in 2013),
as well as the LABEM (Lowering the Adoption Barrier of Enterprise Modelling)
and WEETM (Workshop on Enterprise Engineering Theories and Methods) workshops (which
merged into TEE in 2015) that are sponsored by the Enterprise Engineering Team (www.ee-
team.eu) and the CIAO! research network (www.ciaonetwork.org) respectively. The scope of the
TEE series encompases the original scopes of these four originating workshops (www.tee-
series.org).
Modern day enterprises are in a constant state of flux. New technologies, new markets, globalisa-
tion, mergers, acquisitions, etc. are among the "usual suspects" triggering enterprises to trans-
form themselves in order to deal with these challenges and new realities. Such transformations
might e.g. take the form of top-down and premeditated efforts, but might also occur as numerous
small changes that emerge bottom-up in an apparently spontaneous way.
The TEE workshop approaches enterprise transformation from a multi-disciplinary perspective.
Transformation & Engineering of Enterprises involves the use of methods and techniques from
business process management, business engineering, business-IT alignment, organizational
change management, governance, business transformation, enterprise architecture, enterprise
modelling and ontologies, and information systems engineering. The mission of the TEE series is
to tee-off and foster research concerning engineering based instruments (methods, languages,
analysis techniques, principles, patterns, etc.) that will enable enterprises to transform with con-
fidence.
As a field of study, enterprise transformation requires a close interaction between practice and
academia. However, it is in industrial practice where challenges can be found that may fuel and
inspire researchers. The series appreciates narratives and analysis of real-life situations, such as
case studies. In addition, the series is open to papers that consider these topics from a theoretical
stance, as well as papers that combine these practice and theory. TEE workshops aims also to
attract papers in domains including: Enterprise Transformation & Innovation; Enterprise Engi-
neering and Architecting and Enterprise Modelling. Case reports on transformation & engineer-
ing of enterprises is another essential domain for papers submitted to TEE this year.
Stay tuned on the TEE website (www.tee-series.org) for news and updates on domains and topics
relevant for TEE.
