Second Announcement and Call for Papers 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. TOPICS The EDOC seeks high-quality papers addressing the domains, the life-cycle issues and the realization technologies involved in building, deploying and operating enterprise computing systems. 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 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Two types of paper submissions will be accepted: research papers and experience reports. Research papers should describe original research results that have not been accepted or submitted for publication elsewhere. These papers will be evaluated for scientific or technical contribution, originality, appropriateness and significance. Submissions should not exceed 12 pages in the IEEE format. Experience reports should describe new insights gained from case studies or the application of EDOC technology in practice. These papers will be evaluated on their appropriateness, significance and clarity of expression. Submissions should contain at least 2,000 words and must not exceed 5,000 words. All papers will be refereed by at least 3 members of the international program committee, and at least two will be experts from industry in the case of experience reports. All submissions must be in English. Submissions should be made electronically in PDF (preferred) or PostScript format via the electronic submission system via the EDOC Conference Management system. JOURNAL PUBLICATIONS The selected best research papers will be considered for a special issue of the International Journal of Cooperative Information Systems (IJCIS) to be published in 2006 (http://www.worldscinet.com/ijcis/ijcis.shtml).

CDs of IFIP proceedings
by Guy Leduc 29 Jan '05

29 Jan '05

Dear Otto, Now that IFIP has signed the new publication contract with Springer Science, do we still need to send copies of CDs with conference proceedings to the IFIP secretariat for archival purpose? The intention was to prepare an hypothetic IFIP DL... I doubt that this has been done for many of our events since this requirement has been decided, but anyway I've asked all the organizers of WG6.1 events to sent this material to the secretariat (but did not check that they actually did it).

IWQoS
by Otto Spaniol 28 Jan '05

28 Jan '05

Dear all, here is the CfP for IWQoS (even if IFIP TC6 is not mentioned at all! It is an event which is organised by WG 6.1 + IEEE ComSoc). Best regards Otto --------------------------------- Call For Papers 13th IWQoS 2005 University of Passau June 21st - June 23rd 2005 IWQoS has emerged as the prime annual event on Quality-of-Service (QoS)-related research and technologies. Building on the successes of previous workshops, the objective of the workshop is to bring together researchers, developers, and practitioners working in this area to discuss recent and innovative results, and identify future directions and challenges. IWQoS has a long standing tradition of being highly interactive while maintaining highest standards of competitiveness and excellence. This characteristic will be re-emphasized by intercepting the regular paper sessions with stimulating discussion events about controversial and cutting edge topics. The program will include the following highlights: * Key Note Speaker: Randy Katz, UC Berkeley, USA * Key Note Speaker: Michael Stal, Siemens Munich, Germany, "Beyond Middleware and QoS - Service-Oriented Architectures - Cult or Culture?" * A Panel on "Would self-organized or self-managed networks lead to improved QoS?" by David Hutchison, Lancaster University, UK * Short paper sessions: o A Position Paper Session on "The Impact of QoS: Where Industry meets Academia" by Francois Le Faucheur, Cicso Systems, France and Georgios Karagiannis, Twente University, The Netherlands o A Works in Progress Session focusing on emerging research * Industrial Exhibition and Demonstration of Tools and Methods related to Quality of Communication by Jan de Meer, Institute for High-performance Microelectronics GmbH, Frankfurt (Oder), Germany The panel and the short paper sessions will be highly interactive and leave much time and space for the audience to get involved. The position and short papers will go through the general reviewing process but the papers must specifically be submitted to fit the track. Short versions of regular technical papers will not be accepted here. It is rather encouraged to submit work that is either stimulating with a long term vision or that points to immediate relevance with need for controversial debate to address the foremost experts at the venue. Technical Program Quality of Service principles can be applied to a large number of domains. Our goal is to broaden the areas that QoS research can be pulled from by recognizing the multi-disciplinary aspect to much of the research. In addition to the traditional areas, the call for papers does solicit, but is not limited to, papers in such areas as: * QoS in mobile/wireless environments, Sensor networks, 4G (IP for 3G) * QoS in overlays and peer-to-peer networks * QoS in GRID environments * SLA: end-to-end QoS, QoS in large scale, heterogeneous environments * QoS-aware software components: QoS for Web Services * QoS and self-organizing systems * New frontiers of QoS * QoS measurement versus control * QoS adaptation versus resource reservation * Hidden QoS issues, have we just learned to ignore QoS problems? * QoS in context aware systems (also related to mobility) * User perception/user interfaces for QoS * QoS and distributed systems * QoS and middleware * Fault tolerance and QoS * QoS in ad hoc networks * Economics and QoS * Security, trust and QoS * QoS in the home and everywhere * QoS and new media * QoS and haptics , virtual environments * QoS in buisiness processes, workflows IWQoS aims to allow rapid dissemination of research results and to provide fast turnaround. The deadline for papers is therefore as close to the conference as the publishers allow. The workshop is a single-track forum spanning two and a half days. It values both theoretical contributions and practical experience. Web Site: http://www.fmi.uni-passau.de/iwqos Best Student Paper Award Award will be given at the conference to the best student paper, whose first author is a current student. Paper Submission IWQoS invites submission of manuscripts that present original research results, and that have not been previously published or currently under review by another conference or journal. Any previous or simultaneous publication of related material should be explicitly noted in the submission. Submissions should be full-length papers that are no longer than 20 double-spaced single-column pages with font sizes of 11 or larger, including all figures and references, and must include an abstract of 100 -- 150 words. All papers must be submitted in either Postscript or the Adobe PDF format, and no other formats are accepted by the paper submission web site. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must present the paper at IWQoS 2004. The paper submission can be done at http://www.net.fmi.uni-passau.de/crp Short Position Papers for Industry Session and Works in Progress We solicit submissions of short papers for the two sessions outlined above. The short papers are limited to three single-spaced pages. Accepted papers will be presented in a 15-minute time period, and will be included in the conference proceedings. Important Dates: * Paper abstract deadline: February 16th , 2005, 11:59pm CET * Full paper submission deadline: February 22th , 2005, 11:59pm CET * Short paper submission deadline: March 7th, 2005, 11:59pm CET * Notification of acceptance: March 24th , 2005 * Camera-ready papers due: April 8, 2005 * Hotel reservation cut-off date: May 19th , 2005 * Early registration deadline: April 8th, 2005 * Workshop dates: June 21-23 , 2005 * Workshop reception and welcome party: June 20th, 2005 Organizational Objectives Among strong industrial and academic support the 13th IWQoS is supported by the three organizing institutions: * University of Passau, Germany * HP Laboratories Palo Alto, California USA * IHP Institute on Microelectronics GmbH, Brandenburg Germany The University of Passau will host the all conference activities; it provides excellent conference support for up to 1,000 participants.
