CEC aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from different disciplines to explore and address recent developments and research issues on e-commerce, enterprise computing, security and developments in the area of social networks.

The CEC' 12 Organizing Committee invites proposals for workshops and tutorials to be held at the 2012 Conference on Commerce and Enterprise Computing (CEC' 12). The workshops and tutorials will take place on the first day of the conference at the conference site.

Proposals should be submitted as outlined below and should provide organizers and participants with an opportunity to focus intensively on a specific topic related to the conference scope. Typically, workshops and tutorials concentrate on an emerging topic of technical interest, unique area of application for enterprise computing, or a community-wide issue that deserves specialized attention.

Proposals should provide sufficient information to evaluate the quality and importance of the topic, the goal, and the size of the interested community. Proposals should identify one or more chairs and several other individuals willing to serve on an organizing committee and assist with publicity and reviewing.

Proposals should be 2-5 pages and contain at least the following information:

* Description
What will the workshop or the tutorial be about? Where is the relation to topics addressed in the CEC' 12 conference?

* Goals
What do you expect will come out of the workshop or tutorial? How will the workshop or tutorial change participants' understanding of the area?

* Format
How will the workshop or the tutorial sessions be scheduled? For example, how much time will be used for discussion, panel discussions, paper presentations, invited talks, or other methods for encouraging communication and consensus? Organizers are encouraged to focus on mechanisms other than traditional paper presentations and to differentiate themselves clearly from typical conference sessions.

* Publicity
How do you intend to publicize the workshop or the tutorial? How will you reach the most interested and appropriate participants?

* Potential participants
Who are potential participants?

* Organizers
Please include the name, postal address, phone number, e-mail address, and webpage of each chair and each member of the organizing committee. In addition, indicate the chairs' background in the area of interest.
