As the topic of Enterprise Information Systems (EIS) has an important strategic impact on global business and the world economy, there is a growing demand for research to provide insights into challenges, issues, and solutions related to the design, implementation and management of EIS. To respond the market needs from both academic researchers and practitioners for communicating and publishing their research outcomes, Taylor & Francis is launching Enterprise Information Systems.

Published four times a year, the Journal will focus on both the technical and application aspects of enterprise information systems 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, operations management used in the design or operation of enterprise information systems will also be considered.

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

• Enterprise information systems' design, application, implementation, and impacts in a variety of industrial sectors including manufacturing, service, healthcare, and government
• Enterprise information systems and e-logistics, global e-supply chain management, supplier relationship management (SRM), customer relationship management (CRM)
• Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
• Business process and workflow modelling, analysis, integration, monitoring, and management
• Enterprise modelling and integration, enterprise engineering
• Enterprise computing concepts for specific domains such as electronic and mobile commerce, vertical domains such as finance, telecommunications, automotive, aerospace, command and control, defence, healthcare, and government
• Inter-enterprise collaboration and virtual enterprises
• Enterprise architecture design and modelling, 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, industrial informatics
• Evolution 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
• Business intelligence and knowledge management in enterprise information systems
• Trust, security, and privacy issues in enterprise computing
• Quality assurance issues in enterprise computing
• Enterprise modelling and simulation
• Systems research, systems engineering and enterprise information systems
• Future generation enterprise information systems
• Applications, case studies, and management issues

Written specifically for and by academic researchers and practitioners of EIS, the Journal will provide in-depth coverage of cutting-edge research and applications issues in the area of EIS. The Journal is committed to publishing refereed research papers and review papers that contribute to the advancement of knowledge in EIS.

All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
