Fifteenth IEEE International EDOC Conference (EDOC 2011) “The Enterprise Computing Conference”
Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society (approval pending) and IEEE Communications Society (approval pending)
29.8.-2.9. 2011, Helsinki, Finland http://www.ieee-edoc.org/ & http://edoc2011.cs.helsinki.fi/
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The IEEE EDOC Conference is the key annual event in enterprise computing. EDOC conferences address the full range of engineering technologies and methods contributing to intra- and inter-enterprise distributed application systems. EDOC 2011 will be the fifteenth event in the series of conferences. Since 1997, EDOC has brought together leading computer science researchers, IT decision makers, enterprise architects, solution designers and practitioners to discuss enterprise computing challenges, models and solutions from the perspectives of academia, industry and government.
Enterprise computing is based on a wide (and ever growing) range of methods, models, tools and technologies. The resulting applications also cover a broad spectrum of vertical domains and industry segments, from electronic and mobile commerce to real-time business applications for collaborating enterprises. In recent years, technologies related to enterprise architecture and business processes management have become some of the top areas of interest in enterprise computing. Today, the creation, operation and evolution of enterprise computing systems create challenges that range from goal and policy modeling through functional and non-functional requirements to the deployment and maintenance of solutions in and across customer businesses.
The IEEE EDOC Conference emphasizes a holistic view of enterprise applications engineering and management, fostering integrated approaches that can address and relate processes, people and technology. Openness and distributed computing, based on services, components and objects are important themes.
IEEE EDOC 2011 welcomes high quality scientific submissions as well as papers on enterprise computing industry experiences. Expert panel discussions and keynotes will address hot topics and issues in the domain.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Two types of paper submissions will be accepted: a) scientific research papers, and b) industry experience reports or case studies.
Scientific research papers should describe original 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.
Experience reports should describe new insights gained from case studies or the application of enterprise computing technology in practice, contribute important feedback about the state of practice and how current research is applied, and pose challenges for researchers. These papers will be evaluated based on their appropriateness, significance and clarity.
All papers should be limited to 10 pages in length. All submissions must comply with the IEEE Computer Society conference proceedings format guidelines (http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting). Submissions must be in English.
Submissions should be made electronically in PDF format via the electronic submission system of the EDOC Conference Management system (hosted at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=edoc2011). All papers will be refereed by at least 3 members of the international program committee.
The conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press and will be accessible through IEEE Xplore and the IEEE Computer Society Digital Library. The IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference.
POST CONFERENCE PUBLICATION
The authors of a set of selected papers will be invited to prepare a substantially revised and extended version of their papers for publication in a special journal issue (details will be announced later). In previous years, selected papers from EDOC have been published in Springer’s Information Systems Frontiers (ISF), Enterprise Information Systems (EIS), and International Journal of Cooperative Information Systems (IJCIS). A special issue with selected and extended papers of EDOC 2010 will appear at the Enterprise Information Systems journal (published by Taylor & Francis, with an impact factor of 2.809 in JCR 2009).
KEYNOTES
The EDOC 2011 programme will feature a number of keynote lectures, including presentations by
Prof. Terry Halpin - a Principal Scientist at LogicBlox (headquartered in Atlanta, USA) and a Professor at INTI International University (Malaysia)
Prof. Michael P. Papazoglou - the chair of Computer Science and the director of the ERISS at the University of Tilburg, the Netherlands
WORKSHOPS
Workshops complement IEEE EDOC’s main scientific program with presentations and discussions of both mature and preliminary project results, ideas, experiences, and knowledge in a way that is more interactive and more focused than paper sessions in the main conference program. To foster this interactivity and focus, workshops target a narrower range of topics.
Workshop proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society and included in the IEEE Computer Society Digital Library (CSDL) and the IEEE Xplore.
You can find short summaries of the workshops below. Please check the detailed scope and submission instructions at each workshop page.
The 2nd International Workshop on Models and Model-driven Methods for Service Engineering aims to discuss how service engineering, founded on advances in modeling and model-driven methods, can contribute to the alignment of business and software systems.
Service Level Management (SLM) is the process of managing the Quality of Service (QoS) demanded by clients and offered by providers. AQuSerM is concerned with recent developments in QoS management: the monitoring of widely distributed services, particularly new paradigms of enterprise system (SOA and the Cloud), dynamic adaptation strategies and the necessity for more sophisticated prediction and diagnostic analysis techniques.
The Workshop on Dynamic B2B Collaboration aims at bringing together contributions to address the complex challenges of collaboration between organizations from business, conceptual, and technological points of view.
The International Workshop on Evolutionary Business Processes focuses on evolutionary approaches in business process management to support the change of software systems during their life cycle.
The goal of the SoEA4EE workshop is to develop concepts and methods to assist the engineering and the management of service-oriented enterprise architectures and the software systems supporting them.
The TEAR workshop series objective is to bring together communities of Enterprise Architecture (EA) researchers and practitioners and to identify future directions for EA research with special focus on service oriented paradigms.
The 6th International Workshop on Vocabularies, Ontologies and Rules for The Enterprise (VORTE 2011) aims to discuss the role that (foundational and domain) ontologies/vocabularies and business rules play in the conceptual design and implementation of next generation enterprise solutions.
