5th International Workshop on Enterprise Integration, Interoperability and Networking  (EI2N’2010)

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

           

Supported by

With a special plenary session on interoperability of collaborative information systems together with CoopIS’2010

 

 
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
