Design Science for Constructive Enterprise Modelling
by Paul Johannesson and Erik Perjons (Stockholm University)
Within design science, models are considered one of the most important kinds of contributions, if not the most important one. We will compare the notion of a model in design science with the view of models as it has emerged in the enterprise modelling practice. One issue is whether models in design science and enterprise modelling solely have a prescriptive function or whether they also can have descriptive and explanatory functions. This issue raises the question of the relationship between models in design and science. Another issue is how enterprise models today take a constructive role instead of a purely representative one, as reality is not only described but also constructed through models in digital systems. We will discuss how these issues can be addressed by distinguishing between real and imagined systems, models, model types, and model descriptions.

Working session: The future of enterprise modelling, enterprise engineering, and enterprise architecture (EMEA)
by Erik Proper and Janis Stirna
The working session will discuss the issues related to the field of research on the practice of enterprise modeling. In particular, we will discuss two emerging activities for the community, namely, Models at Work (https://www.models-at-work.org/home) and a possible formation of a task force on the future of EMEA within IFIP WG8.1 Design and Evaluation of Information Systems (https://research.idi.ntnu.no/ifip-wg81/start).
