CALL FOR PAPERS [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement] 2nd International EDOC Workshop on VOCABULARIES, ONTOLOGIES AND RULES FOR THE ENTERPRISE (VORTE 2006) http://www.pms.ifi.lmu.de/mitarbeiter/spies/EDOCVORTE2006.html as part of the The 10th International IEEE Enterprise Distributed Object Computing Conference (EDOC) 16-20 October 2006, Hong Kong http://www4.comp.polyu.edu.hk/~edoc06/ SUPPORTED BY W3C - World Wide Web Consortium - Hong Kong Office ABOUT THE WORKSHOP Vocabularies, ontologies and business rules are key components of a model-driven approach to enterprise computing in a networked economy. VORTE 2006 is the second workshop on an EDOC conference that intends to bring together researchers and practitioners in areas such as philosophical ontology, enterprise modeling, information systems, =20 semantic web, MDA (Model-Driven Architecture) and business rules to discuss the role of foundational and domain ontologies in the conceptual development and implementation of next generation tools for enterprise computing. The Workshop Encourages Submissions on topics including (but not limited to) the following: * Business Vocabularies * Business Rules and Constraint Modeling * Enterprise Integration and Interoperability * Ontological Foundations for Conceptual Modeling and Metamodeling * Vocabularies and Foundational Ontologies for Enterprise Information Systems * Enterprise Modeling and Simulation * Foundations for the Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) * Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) approaches to Enterprise Computing Systems * Enterprise Computing and the Semantic Web * Enterprise Reference Architectures * Enterprise Domain Engineering * Domain specific Business Information and Application Engineering * Ontologies and organizational Semiotics * Ontological Approaches to Content and Knowledge Management KEYNOTE ADDRESS Colin Atkinson, Chair of Software Technology at Mannheim University: Models versus Ontologies - What's the Difference and where does it Matter? As models and ontologies assume an increasingly central role in enterprise systems engineering the question of how they compare and can be used together assumes growing importance. On the one hand, the semantic web / knowledge engineering community is increasingly promoting ontologies as the key to better software engineering methods, while on the other hand the software engineering community is enthusiastically pursuing the vision of Model Driven Development as the core solution. Superficially, however, ontologies and models are very similar, and in fact are often visualized using the same language (e.g. UML). So what's going on? Are models and ontologies basically the same thing sold from two different viewpoints or is there some fundamental difference between them beyond the idiosyncrasies of current tools and languages? If so, what is this different and how should one choose which technology to use for which purpose? SUBMISSION GUIDELINES All submissions will be formally peer reviewed. Submissions should be 6 to 8 pages long and MUST be submitted in IEEE Computer Society format and include the author's name, affiliation and contact details. They should be submitted by e-mail as LaTeX or PDF files before June 16th, 2006, to m a r c u s . s p i e s {at} lmu°de. Authors will be notified of acceptance by July 28, 2006. At least one author of accepted papers must participate in the Workshop. IEEE has agreed to publish all papers accepted at the EDOC Workshops at the IEEE Digital Library (i.e., the IEEE Xplore). The workshop papers will be posted separately with its own ISBN.
