PICTURE

European Research Center for Information Systems (ERCIS)
The European Research Center for Information Systems is a network of researchers who conduct cooperative research in the field of integrated information systems development and organisational design. Under a joint institutional umbrella, competencies in the information systems domain are combined with expertise in the areas of computer science, business administration and law.
The department of information system at the University of Muenster is the participating research institution within the PICTURE project. The ERCIS comprises a network of European and international universities and research institutions as Associate ERCIS Members. The ERCIS is supported and advised by an Advisory Board from industry and public sector.
Core competencies related to the PICTURE project are: Business Process Management (BPM), Process-oriented ICT Reorganisation, Method Engineering, and Domain Specific Reference Modelling in the public sector. ERCIS will develop the necessary innovative modelling approach for process landscaping in municipal PA. ERCIS will also support research dissemination activities as the ERCIS infrastructure and the research network are predestined for this task.
ERCIS will coordinate the involvement of the City of Muenster.
