The 2020 Enterprise Engineering Working Conference (EEWC 2020) will be the
10th working conference addressing the field of Enterprise Engineering. As
it is not unlikely that there will still be Covid-19 related travel
restrictions in place for several of us by September, it has been decided
for the BOSK 2020 events to take place in an on-line format. This also
applies to EEWC 2020.

Nevertheless, the goal remains to gather academics and practitioners in
order to share innovative research issues and practical experiences,
balancing rigour and relevance, as well as to facilitate profound
discussions on the discipline of enterprise engineering
<http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?tid=vrIRDx9kHEiKoyDLE2cTYIfhb1FwRetFn+nw3/MmZdjrOS/xeAHxubbj1w7lUyqu>
. Furthermore, as in earlier years, the proceedings of EEWC 2020 will be
published as post-conference proceedings in Springer's Lecture Notes in
Business Information Processing
<http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?tid=RnJcWvoPN72qAFwSj445/Ifhb1FwRetFn+nw3/MmZdjrOS/xeAERubbj1w7lUyqu>
(LNBIP). The use of post-conference proceedings enables the authors to
update their submissions based on the feedback from reviewers, as well as
the discussions during the conference, which truly underlines the/ working
conference/ character of EEWC.

In going on-line, we will take the opportunity to take a further step in
turning our EEWC conferences in a community-driven working event. We plan
to organise the reviewing process in a more open format, involving a
broader, and open, discussion within the community using an on-line
discussion platform. Due to requests for a second submission window and
necessity of splitting presentations on 3 rounds, in order to reduce
entropy, we will not have an on-line discussion platform/forum before the
conference and will dinamize this discussion on the paper presentation
days.

More specifically, the plan is to have each paper go through the following
process:

 Each submitted paper (via EasyChair) will be reviewed by three reviewers.
The reviewers will be asked (1) if the current version of the paper is good
enough to be published on the on-line discussion platform, and (2) to
provide a discussion statement regarding the paper, to kick-off the
discussion on the on-line platform presented at the discussion sessions.
 The discussions on the on-line platform will start well ahead of the
actual conference and continue to be open just before and during the
conference days also.
 Two weeks before the conference With sufficient time before conference
paper presentation/discussion rounds, PC-chairs will, based on reviews and
discussions, make a selection of papers that are to be presented. Some of
these papers will already obtain confirmation of publication in Springer
proceedings, some will be conditionally accepted and, after the conference
might be accepted.
 The authors will then have the option to provide an updated version of
their papers. In addition, they will be required to provide a 20 minute
pre-recorded video with a presentation. These will have to be provided one
week before the actual conference presentations will take place, according
to the dates below.
 Close to During the conference days week, the community will be able to
read the updated version of the paper and watch the pre-recorded video and
initiate discussions on an online forum.
 During the actual conference days, video-meetings will be organised in
which the papers (and presentations) will be discussed in more detail.
 After the conference, authors are required to submit an updated version of
their paper taking into account the discussions and chairs' feedback. The
latter will be re-assessed by the reviewers. Based on this, the final
selection of papers to be included in the post-proceedings will be made.

The above structure also allows us to be rather flexible in terms of
submission deadlines as per the dates specified below.

We plan to allow (initial) submissions (see step 1 above) from the 20 July
until the 31st of August, while we aim the on-line forum to be available as
of August.

**Proceedings**

The proceedings of the working conference will, as always, be published in
Springer's Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing
<http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?tid=RnJcWvoPN72qAFwSj445/Ifhb1FwRetFn+nw3/MmZdjrOS/xeAERubbj1w7lUyqu>
(LNBIP).

As in the previous years, the EEWC working conference will use
post-conference proceedings. This enables the authors to update their
submissions based on the feedback from reviewers, as well as the
discussions during the working conference. Additionally, it provides us
with more flexibility regarding the submission and reviewing process.
