ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The EDOC Conference is the primary annual event focusing on the
convergence of the paradigms, technologies and methods involved in
enterprise computing. EDOC 2005 is the ninth event in the successful
series of conferences, which since 1997 has brought together leading
researchers, architects and practitioners from both academia and
industry to discuss enterprise computing challenges and solutions. Today
the creation, operation and evolution of enterprise computing systems
raise concerns that range from high-level requirements and policy
modelling through to the deployment of specific implementation
technologies and paradigms, and involve a wide (and ever growing) range
of methods, tools and technologies. They also cover a broad spectrum of
vertical domains and industry segments, from electronic and mobile
commerce to real-time applications for the extended enterprise, e.g.,
business activity monitoring.
The EDOC Conference emphasises the integration of enterprise computing
research and development results, fostering an enterprise engineering
approach that can address and relate business, application and
middleware levels. The themes of openness and distributed computing,
based on services, components and objects, provide a useful and unifying
conceptual thread for this purpose.
EDOC 2005 Workshops will provide a collaborative forum for a group of
participants (typically 15 to 30) to exchange recent or preliminary
results, to conduct intensive discussions on a particular topic, or to
coordinate efforts between representatives of a technical community. The
duration of these workshops is one day and they will be held on the 20th
and 21st of September 2005.
TOPICS
The EDOC conference seeks workshop proposals addressing the domains, the
life-cycle issues and the realization technologies involved in building,
deploying and operating enterprise computing systems. Each workshop
should provide a balanced distribution of its time for both presentation
of papers, thus favouring the attendance of researchers, and discussion.
We encourage prospective workshop organizers to submit proposals for
highly-interactive workshops focusing either on in-depth analysis of, or
broad-ranging approaches to, areas related to all aspects of distributed
enterprise computing. Topics from research, applications or both are
equally welcome. Suggested areas include, but are not limited to:
* Enterprise computing - support for business processes
* Modelling for enterprise computing, integration and management, and
relating business models to system
specifications
* Enterprise computing concepts for specific domains, including
o Electronic and mobile commerce
o Real-time applications for the extended enterprise, e.g. Business
activity monitoring
o Vertical domains such as finance, telecommunications, automotive,
aerospace, command & control and healthcare
* Enterprise requirements engineering and modelling
* Enterprise architecture design and modelling
* Design and modelling paradigms for enterprise computing, including
o Model Driven Architecture (MDA) and other model-driven approaches
o Service- and component-oriented development and architecture
o Collaborative development and cooperative engineering
* IT aspects of inter-enterprise collaboration and virtual enterprises
* Integration of (legacy) enterprise applications and information
* Trust, security, privacy and QoS issues in enterprise computing
* Quality-assurance of enterprise computing systems
* Evolution and management of enterprise computing systems
* Integration of sensing and tracking technologies in enterprise systems
* Interoperability models, platforms, and techniques
* Realization technologies for enterprise computing, including
o Ontologies and Semantic Web support
o Middleware standards and systems, such as CORBA, WS, J2EE and .NET
o Modelling and description languages, such as XML, RDF, OWL and UML
* Enterprise computing tools and tool chains
* Organization and principles of software factories
* Case studies
Workshop proceedings will be published on the conference CD-ROM.

Scope
In its nineth year, the 2005 IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Distributed
Simulation and Real Time Applications (DS-RT 2005) will take place at
Hyatt Regency Montreal, Canada, in conjunction with the the 8th ACM
Int'l Symposium on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Wireless and
Mobile Systems (MSWiM 2005).
This is an excellent opportunity to participate in two conferences
covering a wide range of simulation research.
Symposium Objectives
DS-RT 2005 serves as a forum for simulationists from academia, industry
and research labs, for presenting recent research results in Distributed
Simulation and Real Time Applications. DS-RT 2005 targets the growing
overlap between large distributed simulations and real time applications,
such as collaborative virtual environments. The conference features
prominent invited
speakers as well as papers by top researchers in the field. DS-RT 2005 will
include
contributed technical papers, invited papers, and panel discussions. The
proceedings will be published by IEEE-CS press.
Call for Papers
DS-RT is intended to provide an international forum for the discussion
and presentation of original ideas, recent results and achievements by
researchers, students, and systems developers on issues and challenges
related to distributed simulation and real time applications. Authors
are encouraged to submit both theoretical and practical results of
significance. Demonstration of new tools/applications is very desirable.
The scope of the symposium includes, but is not limited to:
o- Collaborative Virtual Environments, e.g. interactive Virtual Reality,
human communication through immersive environments, shared object
manipulation;
o- Multi-sensory collaborative systems, e.g. collaborative future
workspaces, psychological issues of collaborative VR;
o- Interactive Simulation in Entertainment and Games;
o- Applications of Distributed Simulation, e.g., Real Time, large
distributed simulation systems;
o- Agent Based Distributed Simulation, e.g., multi-agent based simulation,
parallel and distibuted simulation of multi-agent systems;
o- Real-Time application modeling for QoS evaluation;
o- Algorithms and Studies relating to existing protocols, e.g., HLA, DIS,
event synchronization, network time protocols;
o- Data Distribution Management, Interest Management, Multi-resolution
modeling and Dead-Reckoning Mechanisms;
o- Current Critical Design Issues, e.g.: causality, simultaneous events,
zero look-ahead, compensation for slower than real time;
o- Methodology for Distributed and Parallel Simulation;
o- Approaches to interoperation of COTS simulation modeling packages;
o- Interface Definition, Communication, Management, Security;
o- Performance of Distributed Simulation, e.g., benchmark, theoretical,
empirical, and HLA/RTI studies;
o- Visual Interactive Simulation, e.g., generic animation, visual
interactive modeling, interactive computer based learning;
o- Animating Language Tools, Visualization Tools for Computational Processes
under Simulation;
o- Modeling and Simulation Environments for Real Time Concurrent Systems;
o- Influence of Network-Centric Systems, e.g., Java, and DCOM;
o- Network support for distributed simulation and real-time systems
e.g., QoS requirements, multicast for distributed/real-time simulation;
o- Applications of Web-Based Simulation, e.g. Modeling Global Internet;
o- Integration of Distributed Simulation and HLA with Web Technologies;
o- Large Scale Distributed Simulation on the Grid.
o- Software Design Patterns and Real-Time Simulation Environments
