The Enterprise Distributed Object Computing Conference is the primary
annual event addressing issues related to the design, management and
evolution of enterprise systems and in particular the theories, best
practices and technologies in Business Engineering and Distributed
Systems Engineering. EDOC 2002 is the latest in the successful series of
conferences, which since 1997 has brought together leading researchers
and industry experts to discuss problems, solutions, and experiences in
meeting current and future enterprise distributed computing needs.
The introduction of enterprise business and information systems still
poses significant organisational, technical and engineering challenges.
Enterprise systems must increasingly support inter-organisational
collaborations that integrate business processes while satisfying the
flexibility and security requirements of each business partner. The
requirement for loosely coupled, event-driven enterprise applications
both within and between enterprises is becoming increasingly apparent.
Novel solutions, such as the OMG's Model Driven Architecture(TM), are
needed for a closer integration of software systems with organisational
goals, policies and procedures. These solutions also cater for managing
the deployment, evolution, and re-engineering of enterprise components
and services. However, improved tools and techniques are required for
the co-ordination and integration of distributed software as well as the
development of services that support mobility of users, devices and
applications. Although the growing maturity of distributed object and
component technologies provides a solid foundation for enterprise
software development, major issues remain to be addressed.
The conference will include a high-quality technical program, tutorials,
invited speakers and panel discussions. EDOC 2002 encourages submissions
from practitioners on case studies, experience reports and applications
in distributed object computing, as well as submissions on novel
research and engineering achievements.
Technical Program
-----------------
EDOC 2002 invites contributions on all aspects of distributed object and
component /service based enterprise computing. Papers must describe
original work and must not have been accepted or submitted for
publication elsewhere. Submitted papers will be evaluated for technical
contribution, originality, and significance. Major topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:
* System modelling techniques and tools (e.g. Model Driven
  Architecture(TM), meta-modelling, platform-dependent and independent
  models, mappings between models, generation of systems from
  models, information repositories, meta-object facility.)
* Enterprise modelling techniques and standards (e.g. specification and
  implementation of business processes, rules and policies, EDOC profile
  for UML, role modelling.)
* Web-services and component-based application development and
  operation for enterprise systems.
* Enterprise services and infrastructure support (e.g. service
  discovery, auto-configuration, messaging systems, security
  policies, workflow management, enterprise-level uses of, and
  enhancements to execution platforms such as J2EE or .NET.)
* Technologies for inter-enterprise co-operation and integration
  (e.g. business to business interactions, supply-chain
  management. )and customer-enterprise co-operation (e.g. customer
  relationship management.)
* Enterprise frameworks and technologies for the electronic
  marketplace (e.g. ebXML, BizTalk, e-speak.)
* Models, case studies and experience reports on vertical applications
  (e.g. OMG  s domain task forces, financial applications.)
* Implementation and architecture issues of enterprise systems.
* Integration of mobile devices into enterprise systems.
Paper Submissions: Papers should not exceed 12 pages in the IEEE format.
Please consult the IEEE author guidelines for details
(http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm).
Submissions should be made electronically in PDF (preferred) or
PostScript format. All paper submissions will be carefully reviewed by
at least 3 international experts and comments will be returned to
author(s) with each review. Presented papers will be included in the
Conference Proceedings, published by the IEEE CS Press.
The paper submission process has two separate stages. First you will
have to submit the details of the paper (title, authors, keywords,
abstract). At the paper submission deadline, you will have to submit the
electronic version of your paper.
Tutorial Proposals Tutorial proposals should be submitted to the program
co-chair Keith Duddy (dud@dstc.edu.au ) and should include the tutorial
title, the names and a brief biography for each presenter (approximately
half page) and a summary of the tutorial contents (approximately 1-2
pages i.e. 500-1000 words). If the tutorial or an earlier version of it
has been given before please indicate the events and dates.
