The topics in this book cover a broad range of research interests:
from business engineering and its application in corporate and
business networking contexts to design science research as well as
applied topics, where those research methods have been employed for
modeling, data warehousing, information systems management,
enterprise architecture management, management of large and complex
projects, and enterprise transformation. The book is a Festschrift
for Robert Winter in order to appreciate his work and to honor him
as a personality with a high reputation in the information systems
community. To this end, many professional colleagues or long-time
companions both from the Institute of Information Management at the
University of St. Gallen as well as from the international research
community dedicated articles on topics related to Robert's
research. They reflect his ambition to uncompromisingly conduct
high-class research that fuels the research community and at the
same time contributes to improved industrial practice. The book is
organized in three major parts: Part I "Business Engineering and
Beyond" focuses on the methodology strongly shaped by Robert in St.
Gallen with a focus on research being applied in corporate
contexts. Part II "Design Science Research" spans from reflections
on the practice of design science research to perspectives on
design science research methodologies and eventually up to
considerations to teach design science research methodology. Part
III "Applied Fields" combines various applications of design
science and related research methodologies with practical problems
and future research topics.

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the combined 7th
International Workshop on Trends in Enterprise Architecture
Research (TEAR 2012) and the 5th Working Conference on
Practice-Driven Research on Enterprise Transformation (PRET-5),
held in Barcelona, Spain, October 23-24, 2012, and co-located with
The Open Group's Conference on Enterprise Architecture, Cloud
Computing, and Security. Joining the forces of the two events with
The Open Group Conference provided the unique opportunity for an
intensive exchange between practitioners as well as for discussions
on standardization efforts and academic research in the areas of
enterprise transformation and enterprise architecture (EA). Based
on careful reviews by at least three Program Committee members, 18
papers were chosen for inclusion in these proceedings. They were
presented in six sessions on enterprise architecture management
(EAM) effectivity, languages for EA, EAM and the ability to change,
advanced topics in EA, governing enterprise transformations, and EA
applications.
The topics in this book cover a broad range of research interests:
from business engineering and its application in corporate and
business networking contexts to design science research as well as
applied topics, where those research methods have been employed for
modeling, data warehousing, information systems management,
enterprise architecture management, management of large and complex
projects, and enterprise transformation. The book is a Festschrift

Architectural coordination of enterprise transformation (ACET)
integrates and aggregates local information and provides different
viewpoints, such as financial, structural, or skill perspectives to
the respective stakeholder groups, with the aim of creating a
consensus and shared understanding of an enterprise transformation
among the stakeholders. Its core purpose is to inform
decision-makers with both local and enterprise-wide concerns so
that the overall transformation goals can be successfully pursued,
i.e. reducing inconsistencies and including local decisions in the
overarching goals. This book consists of three major parts, framed
by an introduction and a summary. To enable readers to gain a
better understanding of the issues involved in real-world
enterprise transformations as well as the possible role of
architectural coordination and the associated challenges, Part I
provides an analysis of status quo of corporate ACET practice. Part
II then continues with an exploration of the challenges facing ACET
from a theoretical perspective. Based on these challenges, Part III
then presents a collection of components for a possible design
theory for ACET. Instead of an integrated method, this collection
of components constitutes method fragments that can be arranged in
different ways depending on the perspective taken, the actual
enterprise architecture management approach, the enterprise
transformation type and the transformation's context.
Withfour

Philadelphia, the International Conference on Design Science
Research in Information Systems and Technology (DESRIST) has
developed into a premier
conferencefordesign-orientedresearchinInformationSystems.Becomingatruly
global conference series, DESRIST was held in St.Gallen,
Switzerland, in 2010.
DESRIST2010broughttogetherresearchersandpractitionersengagedindesign
science research from all over the world to provide global
perspectives on both design science and design research in the
broadest sense. The design science research paradigm has been
discussed thoroughly in - centyearsandisnowgaininggroundfor
bothbuildingknowledgeandimproving practice in information systems
and several related disciplines. As opposed to
naturalandsocialresearch,designresearchdoesnotcraveultimatetruths,grand
theories or general laws, but seeks to identify and understand
real-world pr- lems and propose appropriate, useful solutions. It
is commonly believed that design research involves building,
investigating and evaluating innovative ar- facts such as
constructs, frameworks, models, methods, and information system
instantiations in order to solve practicalproblems. Moreover,the
study of me- ods, behaviours, and best practices related to the
problem analysis and artefact development process are encompassed -
commonly referred to as design science.
Anongoingdebaterelatedtothenature,scopeanddominantideologiesofdesign
science research, however, shows that the paradigm is still
emerging. Its core, its boundaries and its interplay with other
research approaches are increasingly being revealed and de?ned. The
topical theme of DESRIST 2010 is "Global Perspectives on Design S-
ence Research". Once more, the DESRIST conference successfully
serves as a forum for raising and discussing new ideas in the area
of design science research.
