25th Bled eConference - eDependability: 
Reliable and Trustworthy eStructures, eProcesses, eOperations and eServices for the Future

June 17, 2012 - June 20, 2012
www.bledconference.org

eBled 2012 is the 25th eBled conference and this is a reason to celebrate. What 
began as a Slovenian conference with topics around Electronic Data Interchange 
is for decades now an International forum for researchers, practitioners and 
policy makers and attracts participants from all over the world. Throughout the 
first twenty five years, the Bled conference went along with the new Economy, 
the Digital Revolution, financial turmoils and the political and societal changes 
in Europe. All aspects of electronic interaction - eEverything - is the theme of 
the Bled electronic commerce conference series. 

Do we master the craft, art and science of designing eEverything so that we can 
depend on? The conference theme eDependability serves as a forum to discuss 
design and creation of reliable and trustworthy eStructures, eProcesses, 
eOperations and eServices. Is the silver standard that we reached enough? 
What needs to be done for the gold standard? Researchers, practitioners and 
policy makers are invited to contribute to the eDependability theme.
