PoEM 2022 is the 15th IFIP WG 8.1 working conference on the Practice of Enterprise Modelling. This working conference aims to improve the understanding of the practice of Enterprise Modelling by offering a forum for sharing experiences and knowledge between the academic community and practitioners from industry and the public sector. In the 2022 edition, the special focus was on Enterprise Modeling and Model-based Development and Engineering. PoEM 2022 took place from 23rd to 25th of November. It was organized by Balbir Barn and Kurt Sandkuhl and held as a physical conference at Middlesex University in London, UK.
Following its tradition, PoEM 2022 also offered the possibility to co-locate workshops. We
In an interconnected society, there is a growing need for coordination among different organisations, asking for trustable solutions to develop enterprise systems. Enterprise architectures integrate well-defined principle and practice for the analysis, design, planning, and implementation, for the successful development and execution of enterprise systems. To achieve an effective digital transformation, the organizations need to close the gap between business, information, processes and technology necessary to achieve their final strategy. In such a field blockchain technology can bring huge advantages in many sectors, it can guarantee the integrity and immutability of data without relying on a central authority or any particular entity. Thus, blockchain can be considered the enabling technology that guarantees a tamper-proof execution of contractual obligations among the involved organisations. However, for a large adoption of this technology, recent challenges should be addressed, especially for what concerns the support of multiple blockchain platforms and the generation of the related smart contracts, breaking the technological barriers for non-expert users.
In this context, the BES workshop has the ambition to change the way one thinks, designs and implements enterprise systems. From the technical perspective, the workshop can contribute to breaking the technological barriers to the wider use of the blockchain in enterprise systems, proposing novel approaches for the definition of such systems.
The four papers in the proceedings were selected by the program committee after a rigorous and deep reviewing process. Each paper was assigned to at least three members of the program committee. The accepted papers represent five countries in the world and the authors cover different aspects of blockchain and enterprise systems with a particular focus on algorithms, software engineering methodologies, conceptual models, execution, and case studies. We thank the program committee members for the high-quality reviews contributing to the quality of the workshop.
The International Workshop on the Foundations and Applications of Capabilities in Enterprises, and Transformations and ESG Initiatives (FACETE) seeks to bridge the gap between the theory and practice of capability mapping, a pivotal tool in Enterprise Architecture and transformations. The workshop aims to consolidate divergent perspectives on the scientific foundations of capability mapping, including its ontology, meta-models, and notations, and seeks empirical studies into its practical applications, notably in strategic and digital transformations and ESG initiatives.
The workshop featured two invited presentations. Niels Vandevenne of innocom (Belgium) presented the journal-first paper Green Enterprise Architecture (GREAN)-Leveraging EA for Environmentally Sustainable Digital Transformation, published in Sustainability. Rodrigo Fernandes Calhau (University of Twente) presented the paper Modeling Competences in Enterprise Architecture: From Knowledge, Skills, and Attitudes to Organizational Capabilities, which is currently under review. Further, the workshop included three submitted papers that were reviewed by the members of the program committee. These papers are presented in these workshop proceedings.
As workshop chairs we wish to thank the program committee members, the authors and presenters, and all participants who actively engaged in the workshop discussions.

The present collection comprises all approved papers from the 2nd International Workshop on Digital Twin Engineering that was held at PoEM 2023. Out of a total of six submitted papers, four have been selected for oral presentation at the workshop.
We express our gratitude to all program committee members for reviewing workshop submissions and diligently handling all aspects of paper management and related activities. In addition, we would like to express our gratitude to David Aveiro and Tiago Prince Sales, the workshop chairs of PoEM 2023, and in addition to the general chairs of PoEM 2023, for making this workshop possible at the end of the day.
The PoEM-EDEWC 2023 Forum continued the tradition of previous forum editions as a platform for discussing new ideas, challenges, methods, practices, and tools relevant to Enterprise Modelling. For the first time the PoEM Forum was organized together with the EDEWC forum. This is a result of organizing the forum during the business informatics 2023 week, with the idea of achieving cross-pollination over multiple related events. In total, we accepted 11 PoEM-EDEWC forum papers. Of these, we received 12 submissions for the PoEM forum of which 5 were accepted, whereas for the EDEWC we received 20 submissions, of which 6 were accepted. Finally, we are grateful to PoEM and EDEWC Program Committees for their reviewing efforts, and the PoEM 2023 organizing committee at TU Wien, Vienna, for their contributions and hard work.

Modeling tools play a critical role in the practice of enterprise modeling. The tools bring our modeling languages and techniques to life and provide the interface to modelers using our languages and techniques. As such, enterprise modeling research is historically interested in and engaged with the ideation and development of novel tools. Likewise, the tool vendor market is heavily interested in the newest scientific achievements and how to incorporate them into their tooling environments. The aim of this track was thus to bridge the gap between modeling tool research and the practice of enterprise modeling tooling experienced by practitioners and tool vendors. By bringing together the innovation coming from research with the experience from modeling practice on an industrial scale, the modeling tool track aims to foster networking and initiate collaborations. In total, this track features five modeling tools originating from a primary academic background that also had an acoompanying paper that forms part of these proceedings. One of those five tool papers was submitted to the EDEWC tools track. Each of these submissions has been peer-reviewed by the program committee.
In addition, we are very happy to being able to attract eight industrial tool vendors to present their work. The list of these tool vendors and links to their tools are provided on the corresponding tools and demos webpage of PoEM 2023: https://conferences.big.tuwien.ac.at/ poem2023/tool-presentations/.
The Enterprise Design and Engineering Network (EDEN) Doctoral Consortium is a workshop for doctoral students whose research is related to the Enterprise Design and Engineering research topics at any stage in their thesis. The goal of the Doctoral Consortium is to help the doctoral students with their thesis by giving feedback on their own research work as well as to give some general advice on making the most of their research environment. The first objective of the EDEN Doctoral Consortium is to encourage doctoral students to write, submit and present papers and to help them to improve the quality of the papers. The second objective is to be a platform for meeting each other as well as for meeting the members of the EE.
There are two doctoral consortium papers included in this proceedings. We are very thankful to the EDEWC program committee members for reviewing these submissions.
