EDOC2005 workshops call
by Lea Kutvonen 10 Mar '05

10 Mar '05

Due to requests for extensions to the deadline for submissions, the deadline has been extended to 18 March, 2005. -------- Ninth International IEEE EDOC Conference (EDOC 2005) "The Enterprise Computing Conference" 19-23 September 2005, Enschede, The Netherlands http://www.edocconference.org Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society (approval pending), IEEE Communications Society (approval pending) University of Twente / Centre for Telematics and Information Technology Telematica Instituut 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. WORKSHOP PROPOSAL SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Proposals are invited for workshops to be held on the 19th and 20th of September 2004. Workshops provide organizers and participants an opportunity to discuss current topics enterprise distributed object computing in a small and interactive atmosphere. Workshops may concentrate in-depth on research topics, or may also be devoted to application issues. Proposals should include the workshop title, a brief (200 word) biography for each organizer and a summary of the workshop contents (approximately 1-2 pages, i.e., 500-1000 words).
