With a special plenary session on
“Internet-of-Things: the future for ubiquitous enterprise systems
interoperability?” together with CoopIS’2012 and EI2N’2012 (
http://www.onthemove-conferences.org/index.php/coopis2012) and
A special session on industry and standardisation initiatives in the frame
of the OTM’2012 Industry Case Studies Program

SCOPE
Enterprises must collaborate in order to prosper in the current extreme
dynamic and heterogeneous business environment. Enterprise integration,
interoperability and networking are the major disciplines that study how
can companies collaborate and communicate in the most effective way. These
disciplines are well-established and supported by international
conferences, initiatives, groups, task forces and european projects where
different domains of knowledge have been involved  from different points of
views and according to 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 seventh edition of the workshop is organised as a venue of experts,
part of the OTM’2012 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 speech and a
plenary session will be jointly organized with CoopIS’2012 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
* Interoperability for systems sustainability

IMPORTANT DATES

* Abstract Submission Deadline: May 18, 2012
* Full Paper Submission Deadline: May 25, 2012
* Acceptance Notification : July 2, 2012
* Camera Ready Due: July 16, 2012
* Registration Due:  July 16, 2012
* OTM Conferences: September 10-14, 2012

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
indexed by ISI Thomson Reuter.
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”, for debates 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.
