CALL FOR PAPERS

First International Workshop on Enterprise Interoperability - IWEI 2008

http://www.ics.kth.se/iwei

18 September 2008, München, Germany

In conjunction with the 12th IEEE International EDOC Conference- EDOC 2008 - The Enterprise Computing Conference

Organised by IFIP TC5 SIG on Enterprise Interoperability (http://www.ifip.org/bulletin/bulltcs/tc5_aim.htm#SIGEI) In cooperation with INTEROP-VLab (http://www.interop-vlab.eu/)

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

One of the trends in the global market is the increasing collaboration among enterprises. Constant changes in inter- and intra-organisational environment will persist in the future. Organisations have to flexibly and continuously react to (imminent) changes in markets and trading partners. Large companies but also SMEs have to cope with internal changes from both a technical (e.g. new information, communication, software and hardware technologies) and an organisational point of view (e.g. merging, re-organisation, virtual organisations, etc.). In this context, the competitiveness of an enterprise depends not only on its internal performance to produce products and services but also on its ability to seamlessly interoperate with other enterprises. External and internal collaborative work needs more interoperable solutions.

This workshop aims at identifying and discussing challenges and solutions with respect to enterprise interoperability, both at the business and the technical level. The workshop promotes the development of a scientific foundation for specifying, analysing and validating interoperability solutions; an architectural framework for addressing interoperability problems from different viewpoints and at different levels of abstraction; a maturity model to evaluate and rank interoperability solutions with respect to distinguished quality criteria; and a working set of practical solutions and tools that can be applied to interoperability problems to date.

The workshop invites original submissions from both researchers and practitioners in the following (non-exhaustive) list of topics: * ODP and enterprise interoperability; * SOA and enterprise interoperability; o interoperability through service discovery and composition; o orchestration of services; o mediation between services; * MDA and enterprise interoperability; o computation-independent interoperability models; o platform-independent interoperability models; o model-to-model transformations; * other reference models and architecture approaches; * enterprise architecture and enterprise modelling; * middleware and infrastructure approaches to facilitate and enhance interoperability; * business-IT alignment for interoperability; * reference ontology and mapping mechanisms; * self-organisation and adaptation for interoperability; * semantic annotations for information interoperability; * coordination and negotiation in networks of businesses; * cross-organizational business processes; * maturity models and quality criteria for evaluating interoperability solutions; * modelling, analysis and validation of interoperability; * non-functional aspects of interoperability, such as privacy, QoS, and reputation; * interoperability requirements, approaches and solutions in specific sectors * case studies and experience reports on interoperability solutions.

SUBMISSION INFORMATION

The workshop welcomes submissions of full papers (8 to 12 pages long) and position papers (around 4 pages) in the IEEE Computer Society format. All submissions will be formally peer reviewed by at least three reviewers. Accepted papers will be published on-line in the IEEE Digital Library and in print by the University of Twente as part of the CTIT Workshop Proceedings Series (ISSN 1381-3625). At least one author of each accepted paper should participate in the workshop.

Submissions should be sent in PDF format by email to iwei@ics.kth.se.
