A paper has been accepted for publication at the International Workshop on Adaptive Case Management and other non-workflow approaches to BPM (AdaptiveCM) a the EDOC Conference. In the paper entitled "Research Challenges in Adaptive Case Management: A Literature Review", the author team (Matheus Hauder, Simon Pigat and Florian Mattes) present research challenges for ACM that are derived from an extensive literature review. These challenges are clustered into five high-level categories for challenges in ACM. 

A paper on Enterprise Architecture (EA) Documentation has been accepted for publication at the 46th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS).

Current research activities seek to automate the EA data collection process by integrating existing EA information sources of operative systems. However, a comprehensive analysis of possible information sources and their appropriateness for EA is not yet provided.

To build an empirical basis, the author team (Ruth Breu, Matthias Farwick, Matheus Hauder, Florian Matthes, and Sascha Roth) presents an empirical analysis of information sources for automated EA documentation endeavors. The paper includes findings of a survey conducted on the appropriateness of specific EA information sources for automation with respect to provided data types and data quality.

A paper on EA documentation challenges has been accepted at the 7th Workshop on Trends in Enterprise Architecture Research (TEAR 2012). The author team (Matheus Hauder, Florian Matthes, and Sascha Roth) presents major challenges for an automated EA documentation based on 1) a practical example from a global acting enterprise, 2) a literature review, and 3) a survey among 123 EA practitioners. The identified challenges are synthesized to four categories and constitute the foundation for future research efforts and pose new questions not yet considered.

Article on Enterprise Architecture Management Patterns for Enterprise-wide Access Views on Business Objects  accepted at EuroPLoP 2011. The Author team (Sabine Buckl, Florian Matthes, Ivan Monahov, Sascha Roth, Christopher Schulz, and Christian M. Schweda) focuses on the enterprise-wide availability of business objects. Motivated by case studies from industry, the paper describes patterns to analyze and justify an enterprise-wide access matrix. Respective viewpoints are presented facilitating a business object access management on enterprise level. The method and information model concepts are further substantiated by means of case studies.
