Workshop Theme
==============
As part of their e-business activities, enterprises create, share,
recombine, and process an ever increasing amount of data and documents
that range from simple transactional data to complex business process
definitions. In many respective processes, multiple spheres overlap,
e.g. (1) inter- with intra-organizational data sources in collaborative
processes, (2) master data with transactional data, (3) regular data
with behavioral aspects of processes, or (4) facts with normative
assertions. Since business entities are members of multiple value
chains, same as data sources are often used in multiple contexts and
processes, there are often conflicting requirements on the
representation of such data.
All this in combination makes e-business data engineering a very
challenging task, already at the level of a single company but even more
in value chains.  Also, respective modeling choices may have
long-lasting and far reaching impact, and affect (1) operational
efficiency, (2) business process agility, (3) the range of analytical
tasks for decision support, and (4) strategic options. Eventually, those
choices determine the current and future degree of automation in content
and process integration.

While e-business standards in general help, standardization alone does
not solve the problem. This is because yielding a consensual
representation takes time, consumes resources, and constrains an
entity’s ability to capture individual details. Moreover,

the cost of implementing and enforcing the standards
is sometimes prohibitive for small businesses. Proprietary
representations, on the other hand, hamper interoperability, and
complicate B2B integration. In service-oriented architectures (SOAs),
this complexity is further increased by the behavioral dimension of
e-business interactions, e.g. services choreography and orchestration.

This workshop aims at providing a venue for discussion and the exchange
of ideas on data and knowledge engineering issues in the dynamic
environment of e-business, enterprise computing, and business services
and transformation.

Paper Submission and Publication
================================
We invite short position papers (up to 6 pages) and full paper (up to 14
pages) in Springer LNCS format. For format details and templates, see
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.

All papers must be submitted using the workshop conference management
system available at
http://www.easychair.org/DEECS2007/

At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the
conference and workshop and must attend the workshop. Only papers
presented at the workshop will be included in the post-proceedings. Same
as in 2006, the DEECS post-proceedings are planned to be published as
Springer LNCS (*).

(*) subject to final approval.

Review Process
==============
Each paper will typically be reviewed by three members of the Program
Committee. Reviewers will score submissions according to their
contribution, originality/novelty, technical depth/merit, and quality of
presentation. For short position papers, clarity of exposition and the
degree of innovation will be sufficient, while for full papers, a clear
technical contribution is expected.

Important Dates
===============
April 10, 2007		Submission of papers (extended)
May 14, 2007 		Notification of acceptance
May 29, 2007 		Camera-Ready version for on-site hand-outs due
June 12, 2007 		Workshop
July 1, 2007	 	Camera-Ready versions for papers to be included in the
post-proceedings
