Call for Forum Papers

The PoEM 2026 Forum provides a platform to discuss emerging ideas, challenges, methods, techniques, and tools relevant to Enterprise Modeling. The Forum aims to offer a high level of interactivity between presenters and participants. This track provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to present their work, interact with conference participants, and obtain feedback on ongoing research.

The PoEM Forum welcomes submissions addressing new ideas, challenges, and work in progress in the area of enterprise modeling, including foundations of enterprise modeling, enterprise modeling for software development, enterprise modeling languages and ontologies, human factors of enterprise modeling, enterprise engineering, enterprise modeling for resilience and sustainability, and empirics of enterprise modeling. See the list of relevant topics at the CfP of the main conference.

Paper Types

We invite short or long papers, and two types of submissions:

  • Visionary papers presenting innovative research projects, still at a relatively early stage and not necessarily including full-scale validation.
  • Evaluation papers discussing empirical results related to enterprise modeling, such as end-user feedback, proof of concepts, or evidence-based hypotheses needing novel modeling solutions.

Submission Guidelines

All submissions must be original, unpublished, and not under review elsewhere. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two Program Committee members. By submitting a paper to the Forum, authors implicitly agree that at least one of them will register for the conference and present their paper (i.e., at least one registration for each accepted paper is required).

Submissions should follow the CEUR 1-column format:

  • Short papers: 5 to 9 pages
  • Long papers: 10 to 12 pages

The authors shall use the new CEURART style for writing papers to be published with CEUR-WS. The style is available from https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/

The authors can also download an offline version with the style files from http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip.  It contains the LaTeX CEURART style and also the ODT (LibreOffice) template file. Do not use Word for the ODT template. CEUR requires that the Libertinus font family is used in CEURART. Instructions on installing these fonts are found in the ODT template. .

The papers must comply with the CEUR-WS Policy on AI-Assisting Tools: https://ceur-ws.org/GenAI/Policy.html

Submit via: EasyChair (PoEM 2026 Forum option)

Presentation Guidelines

Authors of accepted papers will receive an opportunity to present their paper at the forum. 15 minutes (10 min + 5 min Q&A) will be allocated to each presentation.
