=========================================================================


Today's business world relies on a range of sophisticated IT solutions.

Due to the sophistication, business and IT have separated in many

organizations. That separation has left a gap between the two and has led

to high frequencies of IT project escalation and failure. While the gap

between business and IT does not pose a difficulty for highly structured

business problems and processes that are stable in time, it is a major

obstacle for all other problems and processes.

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) along with Web 2.0 technologies and

paradigms, such as mashups and lightweight composition, are believed to

provide a handle to overcome this situation and enable a potential

candidate for a solution that will be essential in bridging the gap

between business and IT.

The new technologies leveraging SOA and Web 2.0 technologies, such as

mashups, enterprise mashups, and lightweight composition, provide business

users with ability to compose and/or use simple applications that follow

their requirements, and not require programming skills, or even

understanding of the concept of SOA, while providing the requested

functionalities.

The goal of this workshop is to provide a platform for discussing research

topics underlying the concepts of lightweight composition, mashups, and

enterprise mashups. By bringing together representatives of academia and

industry, the workshop is also an important venue for identifying new

research problems and disseminating results of the research. By

affiliating with a renowned international conference, the workshop

provides a possibility to interact with researchers from other areas of

the domain of Information Systems.

The workshop organizers invite contributions falling into broad categories

of theoretical considerations, practical solution demonstrations, and

lessons learned from real life implementations of mashups, enterprise

mashups, and lightweight composition systems.



TOPICS

The topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to the following:

* Governance of mashup technologies

* Lightweight information integration

* Mashups and legacy applications

* Mashups in process aware information systems

* Security of widgets, gadgets, and related technologies

* Security of enterprise information in mashups

* Standards and protocols for lightweight composition

* Technical requirements of mashups

* User interface aspects of lightweight composition

* Value of mashups for enterprises

SUBMISSION
