CALL FOR PAPERS
Internet of Things (IoT), one of the fastest growing Information and Commun=
ication Technologies (ICT), is impacting organizations from all perspective=
s (e.g., operational, legal, financial, and competitiveness) forcing them t=
o review their functional and non-functional practices. According to the In=
ternational Data Corporation (IDC), ``IoT spending will increase by a compo=
und annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.6% from 2017 to 2022, reaching $1.2 tri=
llion within the next four years. It is also predicted 41 billion IoT devic=
es by 2027 and 70% of automobiles will be connected to the Internet by 2023.

 To tap into the endless benefits and uses of IoT, the design principles an=
d foundations of organizations=92 enterprise architectures are expected to =
adjust to ensure a smooth integration of IoT into these architectures=92 fo=
undations namely organization, business, information, application, and tech=
nology. Aiming at examining these foundations separately and then collectiv=
ely, this workshop is an open forum for discussions between academics and i=
ndustry 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 integra=
te IoT into the life cycle of designing, developing, and deploying enterpri=
se architectures. This integration should lead to a new generation of enter=
prise architectures that would foster not only a deeper retrospect on the i=
nvolved interactive digital resources inside the life cycle covering data c=
ollection, informa!
 tion anal
 ysis, knowledge reasoning and wisdom strategies, but also a better underst=
anding of potential threats as well as the development of new ways of align=
ing business and ICT resources together to improve the competitiveness of t=
he enterprise in the background of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) trend.

Whilst, on the one hand, IoT enacts many opportunities that enterprises cou=
ld tap into, there are also obstacles that could undermine these opportunit=
ies, 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 capabili=
ties, lack of semantic technologies that should describe IoT in a machine-u=
nderstandable manner, just to mention some. =




Topics of Interest
This workshop constitutes an opportunity for researchers from both discipli=
nes enterprise computing (with focus on enterprise architecture) and IoT te=
chnologies to discuss how enterprises could capitalize on these technologie=
s so, that, a new generation of business processes could spread over the em=
ergent 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.
