We believe that it is crucial to create a meeting at international level, opened to all academic researchers and professional practitioners who are interested in the design and the governance of digital systems from an Enterprise Architecture perspective. The “Digital Enterprise Design & Management (DED&M)” conference meets exactly this objective. It aims to become the key place for international debates, meetings and exchanges on the Enterprise Architecture dimension of the digital business. Our event namely intends to put digital issues at the heart of its program, but also to bring together all business and technological stakeholders of the Digital Enterprise. This is why the DED&M conference scope integrates both the digital customer & business dimensions (new digital customers behaviors, digital strategies, proposal and distribution of digital value, digital marketing, digital resources management and governance, digital corporate partnerships, etc.) and the underlying technological dimension (information & communication technology, information systems architecture, database & software engineering, systems and networks engineering, etc.). The official language of the conference will be English. It can be used for the talks, the electronic proceedings (which will be made available through the conference website) and for the final paper-published proceedings according to the Springer Verlag - that will be our publisher - regulations.
