June 17, 2012 - June 20, 2012 www.bledconference.org http://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.
