*CALL FOR PAPERS*




 To tap into the endless benefits and uses of IoT, the design principles
and foundations of organizations’ enterprise architectures are expected to
adjust to ensure a smooth integration of IoT into these architectures’
foundations namely organization, business, information, application, and
technology. Aiming at examining these foundations separately and then
collectively, this workshop is an open forum for discussions between
academics and industry partners about the latest advances and developments
in the dynamic field of enterprise architecture in the IoT era. The
workshop addresses the lack of techniques and guidelines that would enable
enterprises to integrate IoT into the life cycle of designing, developing,
and deploying enterprise architectures. This integration should lead to a
new generation of enterprise architectures that would foster not only a
deeper retrospect on the involved interactive digital resources inside the
life cycle covering data collection, information analysis, knowledge
reasoning and wisdom strategies, but also a better understanding of
potential threats as well as the development of new ways of aligning
business and ICT resources together to improve the competitiveness of the
enterprise in the background of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) trend.



Whilst, on the one hand, IoT enacts many opportunities that enterprises
could tap into, there are also obstacles that could undermine these
opportunities, on the other hand. Some of these obstacles are lack of
standards that cover both enterprise architecture and IoT, security holes
that potentially exist in IoT devices making them questionable in terms of
trust, security, and privacy, IoT limitations like silo restriction,
computational capabilities, lack of semantic technologies that should
describe IoT in a machine-understandable manner, just to mention some.







*Topics of Interest*

This workshop constitutes an opportunity for researchers from both
disciplines enterprise computing (with focus on enterprise architecture)
and IoT technologies to discuss how enterprises could capitalize on these
technologies so, that, a new generation of business processes could spread
over the emergent network of IoT. Topics for discussions include, but are
not limited to:

·         Standards for IoT-based enterprise architecture.

·         Enterprise architecture for Industry 4.0.

·         Data science for IoT-based enterprise architecture.

·         Semantic technologies for IoT-based enterprise architecture.

·         Agentification of IoT-based enterprise architecture.

·         Interoperability inside and between IoT-based enterprise
architecture.

·         Guidelines and best practices for IoT-based enterprise
architecture

·         Privacy, trust, and security of IoT-based enterprise architecture.

·         Context management and awareness for IoT-based enterprise
architecture

·         Case studies related to IoT-based enterprise architecture.
