The article Hybrid Wikis: Empowering Users to Collaboratively Structure Information was selected as the best paper at the International Conference on Software and Data Management 2011 (ICSOFT 2011), Sevilla, Spain. In this article the author team (Florian Matthes, Christian Neubert, and Alexander Steinhoff) introduce the concepts of Hybrid Wikis, a new approach for structuring contents in enterprise wikis, and show how business users benefit from this approach.

The article "Towards a More Integrated EA Planning: Linking Transformation Planning with Evolutionary Change" has been accepted for publication at EMISA 2011. In the article, the author team (Stefan Aier, Sabine Buckl, Bettina Gleichauf, Florian Matthes, Christian M. Schweda and Robert Winter) describe how bottom-up change and maintenance processes for the EA can be interlinked both methodically and conceptually with top-down evolutionary planning.

In the paper titled "Using Web 2.0 Technologies to Support Technology Surveillance in a University Context " the author team (Florian Matthes, Marta Beatriz Infante Abreu and Alexander Steinhoff) a theoretical model of a Web 2.0 supported Technology Surveillance (TS) process is developed. The model specifies how Web 2.0 technologies can replace traditional tools, support the actors in the TS process and how they transform the TS process itself. This means, that the roles of the people participating in the process change and that previously separate activities are partially integrated. It is further demonstrated how this approach can be applied in practice using an existing commercial web based collaboration platform.

Chrstian M. Schweda presents a paper on Socio-technic Dependency and Rationale Models for the Enterprise Architecture Management Function at 5th International Workshop on Ontology, Models, Conceptualization and Epistemology in Social, Artificial and Natural Systems (ONTOSE 2011), London, United Kingdom.

In the paper titled "Applying the Concept of Building Blocks for Enterprise Architecture Management Solutions in Practice" the author team (Ingrid Prem, Ivan Monahov, Sabine Buckl, Florian Matthes) detail how the method building blocks of (BEAMS) can be applied in practice by presenting a case study from the public sector.
