                8th International Workshop on
   Enterprise Modeling and Information Systems Architectures
                           (EMISA)

Preface

The strategic importance of enterprise modelling has been recognized by an in-
creasing number of companies and public agencies. Enterprise modelling delivers
the ‘blueprints’ for co-designing and aligning business and enterprise information
systems such that they complement each other in an optimal way. Achieving this
interplay requires a multi-perspective approach taking organizational, economic,
and technical aspects into account. In a world of cloud, social and big data, addi-
tional challenges for enterprise modelling and the design of information systems
architectures are introduced, e.g., in respect to the design of data-driven pro-
cesses or processes enabling cross-enterprise collaboration. To deal with these
challenges, a close cooperation of researchers from different disciplines such as
information systems, business informatics, and computer science will be required.
    EMISA 2017 is the eighth international workshop in a series that provides a
key forum for researchers and practitioners in the fields of enterprise modelling
and the design of information system (IS) architectures. The workshop series
emphasizes a holistic view on these fields, fostering integrated approaches that
address and relate business processes, business people, and information technol-
ogy. It is organised by the GI Special Interest Group on Design Methods for
Information Systems (GI-SIG EMISA, www.emisa.org), which provides a forum
for researchers from various disciplines who develop and apply methods to sup-
port the analysis and design of information systems. EMISA 2017 took place in
Essen, Germany, co-located with the 29th International Conference on Advanced
Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE).
    In addition to proposals for talks on published or accepted papers from inter-
national conferences or journals, EMISA 2017 called for short-paper submissions
on PhD Proposals and Novel Directions. The former relate to research proposals
of doctoral students, whereas the latter motivate a novel research direction, out-
line the research gaps to address, and carve out major challenges. EMISA 2017
received 6 such proposals from several countries (Austria, Belgium, Hungary, and
Germany), which have been reviewed and selected by the EMISA programme
committee.
    We want to express our gratitude to many people involved, the authors for
submitting their papers to EMISA 2017, the members of the programme commit-
tee for their reviewing efforts, the executive board of EMISA for their support,
and the organisers of CAiSE 2017 for the local arrangements.
