Let me kindly inform you that due to several requests the paper
submission deadline for the SSEO 2014 (Special Session on Enterprise
Ontology) has been extended to July 28. We invite you to participate
in
this special session by submitting a paper reflecting your current
research in Enterprise Ontology and/or Enterprise Engineering.

Modern enterprises face a strong pressure to increase agility and
competitiveness, to operate on the global market, and to engage in
manifold alliances. However, the vast majority of strategic
initiatives
in enterprises fail, meaning that enterprises are unable to gain
success from their strategy. The key reason for these failures is the
lack of coherence and consistency among the various components of an
enterprise. At the same time, the need to operate as a unified and
integrated whole is becoming increasingly important. Currently, these
challenges are dominantly addressed from a functional or managerial
perspective, as advocated by the management and organization sciences,
and as implemented in MBA programs. Such knowledge is indeed necessary
for managing an enterprise, but it is inadequate for bringing about
changes in a fully systematic and integrated way. To do that, one
needs
to take a constructional, ontological or engineering perspective.

It is the 
mission of the discipline of Enterprise Engineering to develop new, 
appropriate theories, models, methods and other artifacts for the 
analysis, design, implementation, and governance of enterprises by 
combining (relevant parts of) management and organization science, 
information systems science, and computer science. The ambition is to 
address traditional topics in said disciplines from the Enterprise 
Engineering Paradigm (check: the Enterprise Engineering Manifesto in: 
http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=YU0FARoACx1RCg The result of the
efforts 
should be theoretically rigorous and practically relevant.

Topics of interest to this special session include, but are not
limited to:
• Business Process Management
• Business Process Modeling and Simulation
• Business Rules
• Business Rules Management
• Collaborative, Participative, and Interactive Modeling
• Component-Based System Development
