This book constitutes the proceedings of the 26th International Conference on Enterprise Design, Operations, and Computing, EDOC 2022, which took place in Bozen-Bolzano, Italy, in October 2022. The 15 full papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 48 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: enterprise security; enterprise architecture; business process modeling and monitoring; business process mining and discovery; and process-driven applications.

This book constitutes revised selected papers from the international workshops, the EDOC Forum and the Demonstration and Doctoral Consortium track, that were held at the 26th International Conference on Enterprise Design, Operations, and Computing, EDOC 2022. The conference took place in Bozen-Bolzano, Italy, during October 3–7, 2022. The conference focuses on the area of enterprise computing, this year with the special emphasis on the theme of designing and operating “Flexible Enterprises”. Workshops within EDOC cover more focused topics and allow for the presentation and discussion of work that is in the earlier development stages. The 18 full and 8 short papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 82 submissions. They stem from the following satellite events: – Workshop on Intelligent Digital Architecture, Methods, and Services for Industry 4.0 and Society 5.0 (IDAMS) – 14th Workshop on Service-oriented Enterprise Architecture for Enterprise Engineering (SoEA4EE) – 17th Workshop on Trends in Enterprise Architecture Research (TEAR) – EDOC Forum – Demonstrations Track – Doctoral Consortium

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 27th International Conference on Enterprise Design, Operations, and Computing, EDOC 2023, held in Groningen, The Netherlands, during October 30–November 3, 2023. The 12 full papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 36submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: Enterprise Modeling, Enterprise Architecture & Engineering, Model-Based Software Engineering, Enterprise Analysis with Process Mining, Process Improvement & Engineering, and Modeling in an Enterprise Context.

In practice, many different people with backgrounds in many different disciplines contribute to the design of an enterprise. Anyone who makes decisions to change the current enterprise to achieve some preferred structure is considered a designer. What is problematic is how to use the knowledge of separate aspects of the enterprise to achieve a globally optimized enterprise. The synthesis of knowledge from many disciplines to design an enterprise defines the field of enterprise engineering. Because enterprise systems are exceedingly complex, encompassing many independent domains of study, students must first be taught how to think about enterprise systems. Specifically written for advanced and intermediate courses and modules, Design of Enterprise Systems: Theory, Architecture, and Methods takes a system-theoretical perspective of the enterprise. It describes a systematic approach, called the enterprise design method, to design the enterprise. The design method demonstrates the principles, models, methods, and tools needed to design enterprise systems. The author uses the enterprise system design methodology to organize the chapters to mimic the completion of an actual project. Thus, the book details the enterprise engineering process from initial conceptualization of an enterprise to its final design. Pedagogical tools available include: For instructors: PowerPoint® slides for each chapter Project case studies that can be assigned as long-term projects to accompany the text Quiz questions for each chapter Business Process Analyzer software available for download For students: Templates, checklists, forms, and models to support enterprise engineering activities The book fills a need for greater design content in engineering curricula by describing how to design enterprise systems. Inclusion of design is also critical for business students, since they must realize the import their decisions may have on the long-term design of the enterprises they work with. The book’s practical focus and project-based approach coupled with the pedagogical tools gives students the knowledge and skills they need to lead enterprise engineering projects.

Despite the buzz surrounding the cloud computing, only a small percentage of organizations have actually deployed this new style of IT—so far. If you're planning your long-term cloud strategy, this practical book provides insider knowledge and actionable real-world lessons regarding planning, design, operations, security, and application transformation. This book teaches business and technology managers how to transition their organization's traditional IT to cloud computing. Rather than yet another book trying to sell or convince readers on the benefits of clouds, this book provides guidance, lessons learned, and best practices on how to design, deploy, operate, and secure an enterprise cloud based on real-world experience. Author James Bond provides useful guidance and best-practice checklists based on his field experience with real customers and cloud providers. You'll view cloud services from the perspective of a consumer and as an owner/operator of an enterprise private or hybrid cloud, and learn valuable lessons from successful and less-than-successful organization use-case scenarios. This is the information every CIO needs in order to make the business and technical decisions to finally execute on their journey to cloud computing. Get updated trends and definitions in cloud computing, deployment models, and for building or buying cloud services Discover challenges in cloud operations and management not foreseen by early adopters Use real-world lessons to plan and build an enterprise private or hybrid cloud Learn how to assess, port, and migrate legacy applications to the cloud Identify security threats and vulnerabilities unique to the cloud Employ a cloud management system for your enterprise (private or multi-provider hybrid) cloud ecosystem Understand the challenges for becoming an IT service broker leveraging the power of the cloud
