Thirteenth IEEE International EDOC Conference (EDOC 2009) https://www.se.auckland.ac.nz/conferences/edoc2009/
Important Dates ===============

Background ==========
The continuing trends towards an accelerated speed of change and the need to differentiate through innovation force organisations to optimise collaboration within their business networks of employees, suppliers, customers, partners and distributors to maximize both competitive advantage and the productivity of non-differentiating tasks.
Key enablers for meeting these challenges include approaches such as Software-as-a-Service, business process outsourcing and the service-oriented paradigm, which has been successfully applied on the technical level to design and implement very flexible and adaptable IT infrastructures and architectures. Increasingly, the service-oriented paradigm also extends towards the business level and provides new perspectives to organise a company�s capabilities and to allow for the easy combination of services to create new business opportunities.
Future business value networks will need to quickly react to changes in service demands. New opportunities for innovative service-oriented business models will arise and new roles of players, such as those of service brokers and service aggregators in service marketplaces, will emerge to address the deployment, publishing, discovery, recombination, repurposing, re-branding, delivery to different business channels and monitoring of services in service ecosystems. Service ecosystems can be seen as service-oriented systems that grow up from independent initiatives, yet interact in seamless ways to support complex business processes.
Large research programs revolving around new approaches to service orientation, such as the Smart Services CRC in Australia and the Theseus/TEXO lighthouse project in Germany, underline the significance of current service ecosystems research. Related research streams that are of relevance for service ecosystems research include, among others, business value networks, Internet of Services, networked organisations and interorganisational information systems.
This workshop aims to explore the principles, challenges and enablers of service-oriented approaches to support and establish service ecosystems of collaborating organisations. It will ad- dress all technical and business-related aspects revolving around the design, deployment and management of service ecosystems to create or transform business operations or processes by reusing and connecting services from different providers.
The workshop intends to complement the main scientific program of EDOC 2009 with presentations and discussions of both mature and preliminary project results, ideas, experiences, and knowledge in a way that is more interactive and more focused than paper sessions in the main conference program.
The idea is to facilitate useful exchanges of ideas, the improvement of understanding of topics and issues, and the clearer identification of important open research issues and possible approaches towards their solution. Moreover, the workshop should serve as an opportunity for participants to coordinate efforts and establish collaborations.
Topics ======
The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Service Portfolio Management * Service Governance * Service Engineering * (Semantic) Service Discovery * Service Analysis and Design * Service Brokerage and Aggregation * Service Description Models * Service Innovation * Services and Policies * Service-Oriented Architectures * Service Lifecycle in Service Ecosystems * Service Delivery Platforms and Infrastructures for Service Ecosystems * Service-Oriented Business Models * Roles in Service Ecosystems, e.g. Service Brokers, Service Aggregators * Business Service Aggregation and Composition Patterns * Service-Oriented Business Network Management * Relation to Internet of Services, Business Value Networks, Networked Organisations, Interorganisational Information Systems * Management of Service-Oriented Businesses * Theoretical foundation and empirical investigation of existing manifestations of service ecosystems * Case studies etc.
Submission, Workshop Proceedings, Paper Presentation, Awards ============================================================
To facilitate discussion of recent research results and ongoing projects, short papers (4 pages in the IEEE-CS format) are sought for, in addition to full papers (8-10 pages in the IEEE-CS format) describing more mature results. There will be one discussion session that complements sessions with presentations of peer-reviewed full and short workshop papers.
Proceedings of EDOC 2009 workshops will be published after the conference as ePub by the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services (CPS) and included in the IEEE Computer Society Digital Library (CSDL) and the IEEE Xplore. Electronic (and potentially paper) proceedings will be prepared for distribution to workshop participants at the EDOC 2009 conference.
All papers published in the EDOC 2009 workshop proceedings must be in the IEEE Computer Society format. It is strongly recommended that all papers are already in this format when they are first submitted to the workshop. (This gives precise picture of the paper length and avoids rework if the paper is accepted.)
At least 1 author of each accepted workshop paper will have to register for the whole EDOC 2009 conference and attend the workshop to present the paper. (Analogously to previous years, there will be no workshop-only registration at EDOC 2009.) If a paper is not presented in the workshop, it will be removed from the workshop proceedings published in the IEEE Xplore digital library.
It is planned to give an award for the "best workshop paper" (most promising research, greatest idea etc.). Moreover, there will also be a "best reviewer" award to reward high-quality reviews and useful feedback to workshop paper authors.
Please submit your paper on or before the due date to the first workshop organiser Dr. Axel Korthaus by email (axel.korthaus@qut.edu.au).
