Fourth International Workshop on Service oriented Enterprise 
Architecture for Enterprise Engineering (SoEA4EE'12) 

in conjunction with EDOC 2012 
September 11th, 2012, Beijing, China 
http://edocconference.org/

------ 
SCOPE 
------ 

Several developments, such as the success of cloud-computing show that 
not the ownership of IT resources but their management is the 
foundation for sustainable competitive advantage . According to Ross 
et al. , smart companies define how they (will) do business (using an 
operating model) and design the processes and infrastructure critical 
to their current and future operations (using an enterprise 
architecture). 

Enterprise Engineering (EE) is the application of engineering 
principles to the design of Enterprise Architectures. It allows 
deriving the Enterprise Architecture from the enterprise goals and 
strategy and aligning it with the enterprise resources as shown in 
Figure 1, Enterprise architecture aims (i) to understand the 
interactions and all kind of articulations between business and 
information technology, (ii) to define how to align business 
components and IT components, as well as business strategy and IT 
strategy, and more particularly (iii) to develop and support a common 
understanding and sharing of those purposes of interest. Enterprise 
architecture is used to map the enterprise goal and strategy to the 
enterprise’s resources (actors, assets, IT supports) and to take 
into account the evolution of this mapping. It also provides 
documentation on the assignment of enterprise resources to the 
enterprise goals and strategy. 

There are different paradigms for creating enterprise architecture. 
The most important is to encapsulate the functionalities of IT 
resources as services. By this means, it is possible to clearly 
describe the contributions of IT both in terms of functionality and 
quality and to define a service-oriented enterprise architecture 
(SoEA). SoEA easily integrates wide-spread technological approaches 
such as SOA or emerging ones as cloud computing because they also use 
service as structuring and governing paradigm. The enterprise goals 
and strategies are mapped to a SoEA. 

SoEA differentiates four layers of services. Thus, its scope is much 
broader than the scope of SOA and also includes services not 
accessible through software such as business and infrastructure 
services. Services of different layers may be interconnected in 
service (value) nets to provide higher level services. 

1. Business services are services, which directly support business 
processes. Business processes can also be developed dynamically 
(on-the-fly) using business services which are available in a 
repository for a given business domain. An example is call-centre 
services provided by an external service provider. 
2. Software services exist as two types: (i) human-oriented 
applications, which are provided as Software as a Service, (ii) 
application services which are part of so-called SOA that are a 
popular paradigm for creating enterprise software. 
3. Platform Services provide support of the development of 
applications. They provide services for the execution of applications, 
middleware stacks, web servers etc. 
4. Infrastructure services are more hardware-flavoured services, which 
are provided using computers. They may have a human addressee but 
contain many infrastructure services such as providing computing 
power, storage etc. They are an important topic in management and 
practice collections such as ITILV3 or standards such as ISO/IEC 
20000 have gained a high popularity. 

------ 
GOALS 
------ 
The goal of the workshop is to develop concepts and methods to assist 
the engineering and the management of service-oriented enterprise 
architectures and the software systems supporting them. Especially 
four themes of research shall be pursued: 
1. Alignment of the enterprise goals and strategies with the 
service-oriented enterprise architecture 
2. Design of the service-oriented enterprise architecture 
3. SoEA and Cloud-Computing 
4. Mapping of service-oriented enterprise architecture to enterprise resources 

--------------------- 
TOPICS OF DISCUSSION 
--------------------- 
During the workshop we will discuss the following topics: 

1. Alignment of the enterprise goals and strategy with the SoEA 
- Which interdependencies exist between services and business strategy? 
- Which concepts and methods are necessary to align services with the 
business strategy? 
- Which new potentials to reengineer business processes are created by 
services? 
- How are non-functional requirements derived from enterprise goals 
and strategy? 
- How are services aligned with non-functional requirements? 
- How are services aligned with compliance requirements? 
- Are the compliance and governance requirements enforced using SoEA? 

2. Design of SoEA 
- How are business, software, platform and infrastructure services defined? 
- How are business services assigned to business processes? 
- How are business services assigned to non-functional requirements? 
- How do meta-services differentiate for business, software, platform 
and infrastructure services? 
- How are appropriate meta-services designed? 
- Which phases do the lifecycle of business, software, platform and 
infrastructure services contain? 
- How can the fulfilment of non-functional requirements be monitored? 
- Which benchmarks and key performance indicators should be applied to 
services? 
- Which approaches exist for the continual improvement of services? 

3. SoEA and Cloud-Computing 
- How does SoEA interrelate with cloud computing? 
- How are Enterprise Architectures designed using cloud-services? 
- How differ cloud-services from other kinds of services? 
- How are Enterprise Architectures designed using cloud-environments? 
- Which meta-services are necessary for cloud-environments? 
- How are service (value) nets -consisting of business, software, 
platform and infrastructure services- created? 

4. Mapping of SoEA to enterprise resources 
- Which resources are relevant for SoEA? 
- How are services mapped to enterprise resources? 
- Which approaches exist to map services to resources? 
- Which information system architectures are adequate for services? 
- How can non-functional requirements be mapped to capacity planning 
of resources? 

----------- 
SUBMISSION 
----------- 
Full papers (8-10 pages in the IEEE-CS format) describing mature 
results are sought. In addition, short papers (4 pages in the IEEE-CS 
format) may be submitted to initiate discussion around ideas or 
preliminary research results and ongoing projects. The paper selection 
will be based upon the relevance of a paper to the main topics, as 
well as upon its quality and potential to generate relevant 
discussion. All contributions will be peer reviewed based on the 
complete version, being full or short. The review process for the two 
types of papers will be different because of their distinct purposes. 

All papers published in the EDOC 2012 workshop proceedings must be in 
the IEEE Computer Society format 
(http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting). It is strongly 
recommended that all papers are already in this format when they are 
first submitted to workshops. This gives precise picture of the paper 
length and avoids rework if the paper is accepted. 

Please submit your paper to Easychair at 
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=soea4ee2012 

At least one author of each accepted workshop paper will have to 
register for the whole EDOC 2012 conference and attend the workshop to 
present the paper. Analogously to previous years, there will be no 
workshop-only registration at EDOC 2012. If a paper is not presented 
in the workshop, it will be removed from the workshop proceedings 
published in the IEEE Xplore digital library. 

The SoEA4EE workshop has been a full day workshop in conjunction with 
EDOC’09 in New Zealand, with EDOC’10 in Brasil and with 
EDOC’11 in Finland.

----------------- 
EXPECTED RESULTS 
----------------- 
All papers will be published in the workshop wiki (www.soea4ee.org) 
before the workshop, so that everybody can learn about the problems 
that are important for other participants. The workshop will consist 
of long and short paper presentations, brainstorming sessions and 
discussions. A workshop report will be created collaboratively using 
the workshop wiki.

Dear AISWorld subscribers; 

My name is Kijung Lee, a doctoral student at Drexel University in 
Philadelphia, PA. I am sending out this invitation to ask you to participate 
in the survey study that I am currently conducting. 

In the study, we create a causal model explaining user's behavior of privacy 
management on social networking websites. In order to build the model, we 
prepared a questionnaire measuring various human perceptions, opinions, and 
behaviors. You do not require any domain knowledge to participate. However, 
it is preferable that you have experience in using at least one of online 
social network services. 

Thank you for your participation in advance. You can follow the link below 
to begin the survey.

Multi context logics: a formal support for structuring knowledge and 
beliefs (Tentative title) 

http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/~ts/womo2012 

MODULARITY, studied for years in software engineering, allows 
mechanisms for easy and flexible reuse, generalization, structuring, 
maintenance, design patterns, and comprehension. In formal and applied 
ontology, modularity is central to reducing the complexity of 
designing and understanding ontologies, and to facilitating ontology 
verification, reasoning, development, maintenance and integration. 

Recent research on ontology modularity shows substantial progress in 
foundations of modularity, techniques of modularization and modular 
development, distributed reasoning and empirical evaluation. These 
results provide a solid foundation and exciting prospects for further 
research and development. 

The workshop continues a series of successful events that have been an 
excellent venue for practitioners and researchers to discuss latest 
and current work; the most recent WoMOs were held at FOIS 2010 and 
ESSLLI 2011. 

TOPICS include, but are not limited to: 

- What is modularity?: kinds of modules and their properties; modules 
vs. contexts; design patterns; granularity of representation; 

- Logical/foundational studies: conservativity; modular ontology 
languages; reconciling inconsistencies across modules; formal 
structuring of modules; heterogeneity; 

- Algorithmic approaches: distributed and incremental reasoning; 
modularization and module extraction; sharing, linking, reuse; 
privacy; evaluation of modularization approaches; complexity of 
reasoning; implemented systems; 

- Applications: semantic web; life sciences; bio-ontologies; natural 
language processing; space and time; ambient intelligence; social 
intelligence; collaborative ontology development and ontology 
versioning.

PRESENTATION========== 
The Brazilian Symposium on Software Components, Architectures and Reuse (SBCARS) is a Brazilian symposium promoted by SBC that gathers researchers, students and practitioners with a broad range of interests in Software Engineering related to component-based development, architectures and reuse. SBCARS's previous editions were highlighted by the presentation of high quality technical papers, international invited speakers, and tutorials. 
SBCARS 2012 intends to continue this tradition by offering a strong technical program, keynote talks by leaders in the field, and invited state-of-art presentations. 
The last editions of SBCARS have also attracted various contributions of widely-recognized researchers in the area, such as David Weiss, Dirk Muthig, Paul Clements, Len Bass, Nenad Medvidovic, Klaus Schmid, just to name a few. 
In this context, this CFP is looking for high-quality submissions for SBCARS 2012, and invites authors to contribute with technical papers related (but not limited) to the following themes: 
- Component-based Software Engineering: specification, verification, testing, evolution, certification, and quality, of components of component-based systems- Software Architecture: architecture recovery; architecture description languages; software architecture evaluation; service-oriented architectures- Software Reuse: technical and non-technical issues- Software Product Lines, Dynamic PL, Service-Oriented PL- Model-driven Development- Service-based Development- Aspect-based Development- Design Patterns- Software Modularity- Variability Management- Generative Programming and Domain-Specific Languages- Tool support for software components, architectures, and reuse- Case studies and experience reports related to software components, architectures, and reuse- Experimental Studies related to software components, architectures, and reuse
