Trends in Enterprise Architecture Research and Practice-Driven Research on Enterprise Transformation

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the combined 7th International Workshop on Trends in Enterprise Architecture Research (TEAR2012) 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 of an intensive exchange and discussions between practitioners, standardization efforts, and academic research in the areas of enterprise transformation and enterprise architecture. For inclusion in these proceedings, 18 papers were chosen based on careful reviews by at least three program committee members. 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.
