EDOC 2012: Call for papers

The 16th IEEE International EDOC Conference (EDOC 2012)
"The Enterprise Computing Conference"
Main Theme: When Services in Cloud Meet Enterprises
Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Communications Society (Pending)
September 10-14, 2012, Beijing, China

About the conference
The IEEE EDOC Conference is the key annual event in enterprise 
computing. EDOC conferences address the full range of models, 
methodologies, and engineering technologies contributing to intra- and 
inter-enterprise distributed/cloud application systems. EDOC 2012 will 
be the sixteenth event in the series of conferences. Since 1997, EDOC 
has brought together leading computer science researchers, IT decision 
makers, enterprise architects, solution designers and practitioners to 
discuss enterprise computing challenges, models and solutions from the 
perspectives of academia, industry and government. The IEEE EDOC 
Conference emphasizes a holistic view of enterprise applications 
engineering and management, fostering integrated approaches that can 
address and relate processes, people and technology. Openness and 
distributed computing, based on services, components and objects are 
important themes. IEEE EDOC 2012 welcomes high quality scientific 
submissions as well as papers on enterpr
ise computing industry experiences. This year, the main theme will be on 
the impacts of services and cloud to enterprise architecture. Expert 
panel discussions and keynotes will address hot topics and issues in the 
domain.

Topics
The IEEE EDOC conference seeks high-quality contributions addressing the 
domains, the life-cycle issues and the realization technologies involved 
in building, deploying and operating enterprise computing systems. 
Suggested areas include, but are not limited to: Enterprise Architecture 
and Enterprise Application Architecture
• Model based approaches
• Service oriented architectures (SOA) and enterprise service 
architectures (ESA)
• Service oriented architecture governance
• Business process management (BPM)
• Business analytics
• Business rules
• Information integration and interoperability
• Networked Enterprise Solutions
• Enterprise applications deployment and governance
• State of the art in distributed enterprise applications
• Enterprise Computing Infrastructures

Submission guidelines
Two types of paper submissions will be accepted a) scientific research 
papers, and b) industry experience reports or case studies. Scientific 
research papers should describe original results that have not been 
accepted or submitted for publication elsewhere. These papers will be 
evaluated for scientific or technical contribution, originality, 
appropriateness and significance. Experience reports should describe new 
insights gained from case studies or the application of enterprise 
computing technology in practice, contribute important feedback about 
the state of practice and how current research is applied, and pose 
challenges for researchers. These papers will be evaluated based on 
their appropriateness, significance and clarity. Submissions should be 
made electronically in PDF format via the electronic submission system 
of the EDOC Conference Management system (hosted at 
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=edoc2012, which will be 
available later). All papers will be r
efereed by at least 3 members of the international program committee. 
The conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer 
Society Press and will be accessible through IEEE Xplore and the IEEE 
Computer Society Digital Library.

Post conference publication
The authors of a set of selected papers will be invited to prepare a 
substantially revised and extended version of their papers for 
publication in a special journal issue. In previous years, selected 
papers from EDOC have been published in Springer's Information Systems 
Frontiers (ISF), Enterprise Information Systems (EIS), and International 
Journal of Cooperative Information Systems (IJCIS).
