CALL FOR PAPERS

5th International Workshop on Enterprise Integration, Interoperability 
and Networking
(EI2N’2010)
Part of the On The Move Federated Conferences

http://www.onthemove-conferences.org/index.php/ei2n2010

October 27-28, 2010, Hersonissou, Crete, Greece

Supported by
IFAC TC 5.3 on “Enterprise Integration and Networking” 
(http://www.ifac-tc53.org)
IFIP TC 8 WG 8.1 on “Design and Evaluation of Information Systems” 
(http://home.dei.polimi.it/pernici/ifip81)
SIG INTEROP Grande-Région on “Enterprise Systems Interoperability” 
(http://www.interop-grande-region.eu)
French CNRS National Research Group GDR MACS 
(http://www.univ-valenciennes.fr/GDR-MACS)

With a special plenary session on interoperability of collaborative 
information systems together with CoopIS’2010 
(http://www.onthemove-conferences.org/index.php/coopis10)

SCOPE
It is a fact that enterprises need to collaborate in order to prosper in 
the current extreme dynamic and heterogeneous business environment. 
Enterprise integration, interoperability and networking are the major 
disciplines that have studied how to do companies to collaborate and 
communicate in the most effective way. These disciplines are 
well-established and are supported by international conferences, 
initiatives, groups, task forces and European projects where different 
domains of knowledge have been considered from different points of views 
and a variety of objectives (e.g., technological or managerial).
Enterprise Integration involves breaking down organizational barriers to 
improve synergy within the enterprise so that business goals are 
achieved in a more productive and efficient way. Enterprise Modelling, 
Architecture, and Ontology are the pillars supporting the achievement of 
Enterprise Integration and Interoperability.
This firth edition of the workshop is organised as a Venue of Experts, 
part of the OTM’2010 Federated Conferences 
(http://www.onthemove-conferences.org). It aims at identifying issues in 
Applications of Interoperability in Enterprise Integration and 
Networking that will be developed in future research projects. A keynote 
speaker and a plenary session will be jointly organized with CoopIS’2010 
conference.

TOPICS OF INTEREST
The main goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for practitioners 
and researchers interested in enterprise integration, interoperability 
and networking to meet, and exchange research and implementation ideas 
and share the most exciting results. It offers for practitioners and 
researchers with diverse backgrounds, an opportunity to present research 
papers, share experiences, and participate in open discussions. Relevant 
topics include, but are not limited to, theoretical and/or empirical 
exploration of enterprise models, tools and theories, as well as case 
studies and practices related to:

* Enterprise Integration Modelling, Approaches, and Methodologies
* Interoperability of Enterprise Systems
* Future Internet Enterprise Systems
* Interoperability in the context of Internet of Things and Internet of 
Services
* Model-Based Systems Engineering
* Business Process Modelling and Languages
* Business Process vs. Business Intelligence
* Ontology for Interoperability of Enterprise Applications
* Cloud Computing and Wireless Techniques in Enterprise Integration
* Interoperability in the context of collaborative networked organisations
* Enterprise reference models and their verification, validation, and 
accreditation
* Service Science
* Enterprise Interoperability as a Science
* Case Studies in Enterprise Integration and Interoperability

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Each submitted paper will be refereed by at least three members of the 
Workshop Program Committee, based on its originality, significance, 
technical soundness, and clarity of expression. Submissions must be in 
English, and may be of two types: Full Papers or Short Papers, both of 
which may discuss industrial experience or academic research. Full 
Papers should not exceed 5,000 words (excluding references and 
appendices), and should not exceed 10 pages in the final camera-ready 
format. Short papers should not exceed 5 pages in the final camera-ready 
format. Only electronic submissions in Adobe PDF format are acceptable.
The final workshop proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag as 
LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science). Author instructions can be 
found at: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html
Additionally, extended versions of the best papers from the Workshop may 
be considered for a submission in a special issue of an International 
Journal.
Failure to commit to presentation at the workshop automatically excludes 
a paper from the Conference Proceedings. The paper submission site will 
be announced shortly.

WORKSHOP FORMAT ORGANISATION
The Workshop Program will be scheduled for two days duration and it will 
be organised with oral presentations of papers followed by two rounds 
“group workshop café” on subjects related to the presented papers. At 
the end of the Workshop, a plenary panel will summarize the results, and 
a report will be prepared.
