Scope
Today’s enterprises are caught in the middle of a major financial storm  
that is putting at risk their profit, growth, and even survival. To  
respond to this storm, the enterprises have launched different initiatives  
to improve their business processes and align their development strategies  
with market needs, for example.

Regular enterprise applications like Enterprise Resource Planning and  
Supply Chain Management implement structured business processes in which  
the steps to perform are well defined. Basically there is little room for  
leadership and innovation during the completion of these processes without  
triggering a complex re-thinking process that usually takes time to  
implement and see its effects, which is sometimes late and inefficient due  
to business constant changes. Several decisions are to be made on the fly  
based on unstructured data that people receive from various sources. Some  
of these data are part of people's tacit knowledge.

This workshop focuses on online sources (with focus on social applications  
like social networks and blogs) that illustrate Web 2.0 widespread  
adoption. Social applications rely on users’ ability and willingness to  
interact, share, and recommend. However, the richness and complexity of  
information in these applications pose challenges on how to capture and  
structure this information for future use while preserving user privacy  
and information sensitivity. Different studies encourage enterprises to  
allow their employees to embrace social applications in order to establish  
and foster contacts with their colleagues, customers, and suppliers.

Topics of Interest
This workshop aims at addressing the lack of techniques and guidelines  
that would enable enterprises to weave social relationships (e.g.,  
collegiality, fairness, and supervision) into their operations. This  
should lead into business processes in the enterprise that reinforce the  
fact that employees establish and maintain social networks of contacts,  
rely on some privileged contacts when needed, and form with other peers  
strong and long lasting social collaborative groups. In today’s economies,  
an enterprise’s ability to sustain its growth and competitiveness depends  
on how well it socially manages its communications with various  
stakeholders for instance, customers, suppliers, competitors, and partners.

Specific possible topics include (but not limited to):
* Service computing for the social enterprise
* Standards for the social enterprise
* Methods for designing the social enterprise
* Semantic technologies for the social enterprise
* Privacy and security in the social enterprise
* Context management for the social enterprise
* Case studies
