CALL FOR PAPERS
6th International Workshop on Vocabularies, Ontologies and Rules for The
Enterprise (VORTE 2011)
The VORTE workshop is organized in conjunction with the Fifteenth IEEE
International EDOC Conference (EDOC 2011),
"The Enterprise Computing Conference", 29th August - 2nd September 2011
in Helsinki, Finland.

*** EXTENDED DEADLINE for workshop paper submissions: 29 March 2011. ***
The VORTE series of workshops is devoted to the topics of vocabularies,
ontologies and rules in the context of enterprise systems. The
complexity of enterprise systems; the increasing needs for advanced
collaboration between various systems within one institution or among
many collaborating parties; and the velocity of organizational, policy,
structural and market changes strongly call for immediate mobilization
of the research community to develop more flexible and reliable
technologies for the development of enterprise systems. Trying to
respond to this urgent research need, the VORTE series of workshops has
been established in order to bring together researchers and
practitioners that are looking into the topics of ontologies and rules
in enterprise system development from different yet complementary
perspectives. The major objective is to provide a research forum for
exchanging ideas and results covering the use of ontologies and rules in
various stages of the development lifecycle of enterprise systems.
Examples of topics covered by VORTE fundamental research contributions
include the ontological evaluation of enterprise systems and their
interoperability and the investigation of the use of ontologies and
rules in business process modelling. Applied research contributions
include enhancing business rule engines and business process management
systems by ontologies and formal semantics for rules. From the
enterprise system development perspective research topics are focused on
relations of process modelling and execution languages with business
ontologies and rules, and how business ontologies and rules used in
enterprise models are further propagated into technologies (e.g.,
semantic web) and architectures (e.g., service-oriented architectures)
that enable collaboration between heterogeneous enterprise systems. The
workshop also welcomes experience reports and empirical studies that are
reporting on the use of ontologies and rules in the enterprise system
development lifecycle.
VORTE 2011 is the 6th workshop associated with the EDOC conference
series that intends to bring together researchers and practitioners in
areas such as philosophical ontology, enterprise modelling, information
systems, semantic web, model-driven engineering, business rules, and
business process management. The goal of the workshop is to discuss the
role that (foundational and domain) ontologies/vocabularies and business
rules play in the conceptual design and implementation of next
generation enterprise solutions.
Important dates and submission guidelines
All workshops follow the same schedule and submission guidelines. Please
refer to the workshop summary page.
We invite two types of papers:
short papers (4 pages) discussing controversial issues in the field or
describe interesting or thought-provoking ideas that are not yet fully
developed; and
full papers (8-10 pages) describing more mature results than short papers.
All submissions MUST conform to the two-column format of IEEE Computer
Society conference proceedings
(www.computer.org/portal/pages/cscps/cps/cps_forms.html
<http://www.computer.org/portal/pages/cscps/cps/cps_forms.html>) and
include the author's name, affiliation, and contact details. Papers must
be submitted as PDF files using EasyChair at
www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vorte2011
<http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vorte2011>.
Papers cannot have been previously submitted or published elsewhere.
The papers accepted for the EDOC 2011 Workshops will be published after
the workshop with an ISBN in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. At least
one of the authors for each accepted paper must register for the main
conference (there will be no workshop-only registration at EDOC 2011)
and present their papers at the workshop. The registration needs to be
done via the EDOC 2011 website.
Post-conference Journal Publication: We are planning to invite selected
papers for publication in a well-known international journal.
