There is a growing interest in academia and industry to identify, collect, document and exchange best practices in the management of very large software application landscapes in a structured manner.
The goal of the workshop is to improve this knowledge exchange by using an integrating pattern-based approach. An enterprise architecture management pattern (EAM pattern) is a general, reusable solution to a common problem in a given context which identifies driving forces, known usages and consequences. It can be specified on different levels of abstraction and detail, e.g. as a framework for enterprise architectures, as a method for enterprise modeling, or as a reference model. EAM patterns address social, technical and economic issues in a balanced manner, for example

Wrap Up and Outlook |
In order to prepare PEAM 2009 participation it is important for every participant (authors and all other participants) to read and comment on all the papers of the writers workshop, which can be downloaded here.
The workshop will be conducted in form of a writer's workshop known from pattern conferences like the PLoP conferences. For more details on this format see the PLoP 2009 homepage or http://www.riehle.org/community-service/hillside-group/europlop-1997/p2final.pdf
The PEAM-2009 workshop is one of the events of the Software Engineering 2009 conference in Kaiserslautern.
The workshop will take place at the Fraunhofer-Institut für Experimentelles Software Engineering (IESE). More information on how to reach IESE can be found here.

| Monday, 22.12.2008 | Submission of manuscripts (extended deadline) | |
| Saturday, 17.1.2009 | Notification of acceptance to shepherding process | |
| Wednesday, 25.2.2009 | Worshop version due |
|
| Monday, 2.3.2009 | Workshop in Kaiserslautern (9:00-17:00) |
Accepted papers will be published in a separate SE 2009 workshop proceedings volume (Lecture Notes in Informatics (LNI) by Springer) after the conference.
Since EAM patterns is an original topic the scope of contributions is rather broad. Each submission has to present at least one pattern which has to be applied more than once in practice (three independent known uses rule). For more information on writing patterns see http://hillside.net/patterns/writing/writingpatterns.htm.
Even though SE-2009 is a mostly German event, the workshop language is deliberately chosen to be English to attract also European researchers working in the area of pattern-based EAM, to increase the international visibility of the contributions and to simplify the process of developing a shared "pattern language" and also to make it easier to win a sufficient number of shepherds if we have a major number of contributions.
The task of the PC is to ensure the above minimal requirements are met and to control the shepherding process. After an initial cursory review papers are subject to a so called shepherding process which will improve the papers using up to three rounds of qualified feedback and suggestions for improvement by the shepherd. The shepherd will then give his recommendation to the PC. Therefore the PC includes three members which will manage the whole acceptance and shepherding process.
Open workshop, review and shepherding by the program committee members, Writer's Workshop comparable to PLoP conferences.
Up to about 10 authors for the so called inner circle of the writer's workshop (for an explanation of the format see e.g. www.riehle.org/community-service/hillside-group/europlop-1997/p2final.pdf). Up to about 20 additional participants for an outer circle.
The language ot the PEAM 2009 workshop will be English.
The early registration fee for the workshop is 150€ (135 € for GI-members) and includes the LNI workshop proceedings, lunch, refreshments and coffee breaks. The early registration ends 25.1.2008. For more information on the fees, hotels and the registration procedure see the SE-2009 conference website.



On Tuesday 03.03.2008 there will be a tutorial on Steering IT with Enterprise Architecture (IT-Steuerung mit Unternehmensarchitektur) carried out by Prof. Dr. Florian Matthes and Wolfgang Keller, which is a good addition to the PEAM workshop. More information about this tutorial is available here.
