Aims and scope

Enterprise Information Systems (EIS) is a world-leading journal focusing on both the technical and applications aspects of EIS technology, and the complex and cross-disciplinary problems of enterprise integration that arise in integrating extended enterprises in a contemporary global supply chain environment. Techniques developed in mathematical science, computer science, manufacturing engineering, and operations management used in the design or operation of EIS will also be considered.

Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

    EIS design, applications, implementation, and impact in industrial sectors including manufacturing, service, healthcare, environment, energy and government
    EIS and e-logistics, global e-supply chain management, supplier relationship management (SRM), and customer relationship management (CRM)
    Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
    Business intelligence, business process and workflow modelling, analysis, integration, monitoring, and management
    Enterprise modelling and simulation, integration, and enterprise engineering
    Enterprise computing concepts for Internet of Things (IoT), RFID, electronic and mobile commerce, e-finance, e-payment, telecommunications, automotive, aerospace, command and control, defence, healthcare, and government
    Inter-enterprise collaboration and virtual enterprises
    Enterprise architecture design and modelling, cloud computing and Big Data Analytics (BDA), Model-Driven Architecture (MDA), component-oriented architecture, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), collaborative development, and co-operative engineering
    Integration of (legacy) enterprise applications and information, integrated systems, e-factories, integrated manufacturing systems, and industrial informatics
    Evolution, Innovation and management of enterprise computing systems
    Realization technologies for enterprise computing, including ontologies and semantic web support, middleware standards and systems, such as CORBA and J2EE, modelling and description languages, such as XML, RDF, OWL, and UML
    Enterprise computing tools and methodologies.
    Principles of data, information and knowledge management models in EIS
    Trust, security and privacy issues in enterprise computing
    Quality assurance and maintenance issues in enterprise computing
    Systems research, systems engineering and IoT strategies for enterprises

EIS therefore encourages original submissions in these and other related areas. The journal will consider original articles, short papers, review papers and technical notes. Responses to articles and correspondence will also be considered at the Editor-in-Chief’s discretion.

Proposals for special issues in cutting-edge areas are encouraged, and should be discussed directly with the Editor-in-Chief.

All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor-in-Chief, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to rigorous and rapid peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double anonymized and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.

Queries regarding submissions can be made by contacting the Editor-in-Chief, whose decision is final.
