According to Ross et al., smart companies define <br>how they (will) do business (using an operating model) and design the <br>processes and infrastructure critical to their current and future <br>operations (using an enterprise architecture).<br><br>The management of information technology resources should be done with <br>the application of engineering principles, called enterprise <br>engineering. Enterprise Engineering allows deriving the Enterprise <br>Architecture from the enterprise goals and strategy and aligning it with <br>the
enterprise resources, but it may also be supported by the Enterprise <br>Architecture if the latter is documented. Enterprise architecture aims <br>(i) to understand the interactions and all kind of articulations between <br>business and information technology, (ii) to define how to align <br>business components and IT components, as well as business strategy and <br>IT strategy, and more particularly (iii) to develop and support a common <br>understanding and sharing of those purposes of interest. Enterprise <br>architecture is used to map the enterprise goal and strategy to the <br>enterprise?s resources (actors, assets, IT supports) and to take into <br>account the evolution of this mapping. It also provides documentation on <br>the assignment of enterprise resources to the enterprise goals and <br>strategy. To this end, advantageous patterns (best practices) can be <br>reused and alternative design solutions can be compared. Furthermore,
<br>enterprise architecture may be checked for compliance with laws, <br>regulatory rules etc. Finally, enterprise architecture facilitates the <br>measurement the performance and efficiency of the resources used.<br><br>There are different paradigms for creating enterprise architecture. The <br>most important regarding the purpose of this workshop is to encapsulate <br>the functionalities provided by IT resources as services. By this means, <br>it is possible to clearly describe the contributions of IT resources <br>both in terms of functionality and quality and to define a <br>service-oriented enterprise architecture. Service-oriented enterprise <br>architecture easily integrates wide-spread technological approaches such <br>as SOA or emerging ones as the cloud computing because they also use <br>service as structuring paradigm. Service-oriented enterprise engineering <br>further develops the enterprise engineering approach selecting service <br>as
governing paradigm. The enterprise goals and strategies are mapped to <br>a service-oriented enterprise architecture.<br><br>Service-oriented enterprise architecture differentiates four layers of <br>services. Thus, its scope is much broader than the scope of the <br>service-oriented architecture (SOA) and also includes services not <br>accessible through software such as business and infrastructure <br>services. Services of different layers may be interconnected in service <br>(value) nets to provide higher level services.<br>1. Business services are services, which directly support business <br>processes. Business processes can also be developed dynamically <br>(on-the-fly) using business services which are available in a repository <br>for a given business domain. An example is call-centre services provided <br>by an external service provider.<br>2. Software services exist as two types: (i) human-oriented <br>applications, which are provided as
Software as a Service, (ii) <br>application services which are part of so-called <br>Service-Oriented-Architectures that are a popular paradigm for creating <br>enterprise software .<br>3. Platform Services provide support of the development of applications. <br>They provide services for the execution of applications, middleware <br>stacks, web servers etc.<br>4. Infrastructure services are more hardware-flavoured services, which <br>are provided using computers. They may have a human addressee but <br>contain many infrastructure services such as providing computing power, <br>storage etc. They are an important topic in management and practice <br>collections such as ITILV3 or standards such as ISO/IEC 20000 have <br>gained a high popularity.<br><br><br>------<br>GOALS<br>------<br>The goal of the workshop is to develop concepts and methods to assist <br>the engineering and the management of service-oriented enterprise <br>architectures and
the software systems supporting them. Especially three <br>themes of research shall be pursued:<br>1. Alignment of the enterprise goals and strategies with the <br>service-oriented enterprise architecture<br>2. Design of the service-oriented enterprise architecture<br>3. Mapping of service-oriented enterprise architecture to enterprise <br>resources<br><br><br><br>---------------------<br>TOPICS OF DISCUSSION<br>---------------------<br>During the workshop we will discuss the following topics:<br><br>1. Alignment of the enterprise goals and strategy with the <br>service-oriented enterprise architecture<br>- Which interdependencies exist between services and business strategy?<br>- Which concepts and methods are necessary to align services with the <br>business strategy?<br>- Which new potentials to reengineer business processes are created by <br>services?<br>- How are non-functional requirements derived from enterprise goals and <br>strategy?<br>- How
are services aligned with non-functional requirements?<br>- How are services aligned with compliance requirements?<br>- Are the compliance and governance requirements enforced using <br>service-oriented enterprise architectures?<br><br><br>2. Design of service-oriented enterprise architecture<br>- How are business, software, platform and infrastructure services defined?<br>- How are business services assigned to business processes?<br>- How are business services assigned to non-functional requirements?<br>- How are service (value) nets -consisting of business, software, <br>platform and infrastructure services- created?<br>- How does service-oriented enterprise architecture, interrelate with <br>cloud computing?<br>- How do meta-services differentiate for business, software, platform <br>and infrastructure services?<br>- How are appropriate meta-services designed?<br>- Which phases do the lifecycle of business, software, platform and <br>infrastructure
services contain?<br>- How can the fulfilment of non-functional requirements be monitored?<br>- Which benchmarks and key performance indicators should be applied to <br>services?<br>- Which approaches exist for the continual improvement of services?<br><br><br>3. Mapping of service-oriented enterprise architecture to enterprise <br>resources<br>- Which resources are relevant for Service-oriented Enterprise Architecture?<br>- How are services mapped to enterprise resources?<br>- Which approaches exist to map services to resources?<br>- Which information system architectures are adequate for services?<br>- How can non-functional requirements be mapped to capacity planning of <br>resources?<br><br><br><br>-------------------------------------<br>COLLABORATION WITH THE TEAR WORKSHOP<br>-------------------------------------<br>The 2011 SoEA4EE workshop will be organised in collaboration with the <br>TEAR workshop. The SoEA4EE 2011 workshop will be held
on the 30th of <br>August, while the TEAR workshop will be held on the 29th of August. The <br>organisers of both workshops explicitly invite visitors to visit both <br>workshops, in order to further the integration between the two communities.<br><br>Where the TEAR workshop focuses on EA in general, the SoEA4EE workshop <br>focuses on the role of the service oriented paradigm in the context of EA.<br><br>Authors of papers on topics (that were included in past TEAR <br>call-for-papers) such as:<br>- Integrating service oriented and legacy architectures,<br>- Service design on application and business levels,<br>- Service orientation as EA design paradigm,<br>- Service oriented architecture (SOA) and EA,<br>are invited to submit these papers to the SoEA4EE workshop instead of TEAR.<br><br>Authors of papers dealing with Enterprise Architecture without any link <br>to service orientation in its widest sense are invited to submit these <br>papers to TEAR
instead of SoEA4EE.<br><br><br><br>-----------<br>SUBMISSION<br>-----------<br>Full papers (8-10 pages in the IEEE-CS format) describing mature results <br>are sought. In addition, short papers (4 pages in the IEEE-CS format) <br>may be submitted to facilitate discussion of recent research results and <br>ongoing projects. The paper selection will be based upon the relevance <br>of a paper to the main topics, as well as upon its quality and potential <br>to generate relevant discussion. All contributions will be peer reviewed <br>based on the complete version, being full or short.<br><br>All papers published in the EDOC 2011 workshop proceedings must be in <br>the IEEE Computer Society format <br>(<a href="http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting" target="_blank">http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting</a>). It is strongly <br>recommended that all papers are already in this format when they are <br>first submitted to workshops.
This gives precise picture of the paper <br>length and avoids rework if the paper is accepted.<br><br>Please submit your paper to <a ymailto="mailto:nurcan@univ-paris1.fr" href="/mc/compose?to=nurcan@univ-paris1.fr">nurcan@univ-paris1.fr</a><br><br>At least one author of each accepted workshop paper will have to <br>register for the whole EDOC 2011 conference and attend the workshop to <br>present the paper.

"The Enterprise Computing Conference", <br><br> <br><br> August 29 - September 2, 2011, Helsinki, Finland<br><br> <br><br> <a href="http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/edoc2011/3m4se" target="_blank">http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/edoc2011/3m4se</a> <<a href="http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/edoc2011/3m4se" target="_blank">http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/edoc2011/3m4se</a>> <br><br> <br><br> <br><br>Scope<br><br>-----<br><br> <br><br>Recent developments in meta-modelling and model transformation techniques have led to increasing adoption of model-driven engineering practices. The increase in interest and significance of the model-driven approach has also accelerated its application in the development of large (distributed) IT systems to support (collaborative) enterprises. Shifting attention from source code to models allows enterprises to focus on
their core concerns, such as business processes, services and collaborations, without being forced to simultaneously consider the underlying technologies. Different concerns are typically addressed by different models, with transformations between the models and ultimately to the source code. Although the model-driven approach offers theoretical benefits for the development, maintenance and evolution of enterprise computing systems and corresponding service-oriented solutions, a number of issues for the practical application of the approach still exist. In order to solve these issues further advances in models (business goals, pragmatic interoperability, semantic interoperability) and model-driven methods (design concepts, languages, meta-models, profiles, specification frameworks) are necessary. <br><br> <br><br>This workshop aims at helping the convergence of research on model-driven development and practical application of the model-driven approach
in the area of enterprise computing and service engineering. The workshop addresses questions with respect to the requirements on, concepts for, properties of and experience with models and model-driven methods for service engineering in the area of enterprise computing. A special focus will be on the combined application of model-driven and semantic approaches in the different phases of the service lifecycle.<br><br> <br><br> <br><br>Topics<br><br>------<br><br> <br><br>* Model-driven service-oriented design process, milestones and design guidelines for service engineering (business goals, pragmatic interoperability, semantic interoperability);<br><br>* Modelling techniques for Service-Oriented Architectures (design concepts, languages, meta-models, profiles and specification frameworks);<br><br>* Full lifecycle requirements management for service systems;<br><br>* Modelling of non-functional and Quality-of-Service characteristics;<br><br>* Modelling,

The main objectives of this conference are to <br>facilitate the exchange between researchers and practitioners <br>and to foster future collaborations in Europe and beyond. <br>The ECOWS 2011 conference will include invited speakers, <br>presentations of contributed research papers and an industrial <br>track with the participation of top researchers from industry. <br>ECOWS 2011 will also include a PhD symposium and satellite <br>workshops. <br><br>----------<br>Background<br>----------<br>The success encountered by the Web has shown that tightly <br>coupled software systems are only good for niche markets, <br>whereas loosely coupled software systems can be more flexible, <br>more adaptive and often more appropriate in
practice. Loose <br>coupling makes it easier for a given system to interact with<br>other systems, possibly legacy systems that share very little <br>with it. Web services are at the crossing of distributed <br>computing and loosely coupled systems. When applications are <br>developed with service-oriented architectures, they can evolve <br>more easily during their lifespan and adapt better to changing <br>or even unpredictable environments. Services today can be <br>implemented such that they are discovered and invoked <br>dynamically using non-proprietary mechanisms. Such services <br>are developed and deployed in a black-box manner. This is of <br>particular importance from a business perspective since <br>services are implemented in a variety of technologies. <br>Essential is agreement on integration technology and consensus <br>has emerged in today's middleware market: Customers want <br>to use Web technologies. Despite these promises, however,
<br>service integrators, developers, and providers need to create <br>methods, tools and techniques to support cost-effective <br>development and use of dependable services and service-oriented <br>applications.<br><br>------------------<br>Topics of interest<br>------------------<br>The ECOWS 2011 program committee seeks original, high quality <br>papers related to all aspects of Web Services, which constitute <br>the main technology available to date for implementing <br>service-oriented architectures and computing. <br><br>Topics of interest to the Research and Industry Tracks include, <br>but are not limited to, the following:<br><br>- Business Process Management and Web Services <br>- Cloud Services Management and Composition using Web Services <br>- Dynamic and Adaptive Web Services <br>- Economics Models and Web Services <br>- Enterprise Architecture
and Web Services <br>- Emerging Trends of Service Composition and Mashups <br>- Experience reports of novel applications of Web Services in <br> Health, Commerce, Finance, Telecom, Scientific Computing and <br> other domains <br>- Service modeling, service-oriented analysis and design <br>- Formal Methods for Web Services <br>- Frameworks for Building Web Service-Based Applications <br>- Identity and Access Management using Web Services <br>- Mobile Web Services <br>- Model-Driven Web Service Engineering <br>- Next Generation Web Services Middleware and Service Repositories <br>- Service quality and service interface design guidelines <br>- RESTful Web Services <br>- Self-Organizing Service Oriented Architectures
<br>- Semantic Web Services <br>- Service Level Agreements for Web services <br>- Service-Oriented Business Collaboration <br>- SOA Governance and Web Services <br>- Social Web Services <br>- Web Services for Grids <br>- Web Services in Service-Oriented Environments <br>- Web Services Life-Cycles <br>- Web Services Security and Privacy <br><br>It should be noted that papers on existing product descriptions <br>or product marketing information are not within the scope of the <br>ECOWS 2011 Industrial Track. <br><br>-------------<br>PhD Symposium<br>-------------<br>The ECOWS 2011 PhD Symposium is an international forum for PhD <br>students working in any of the areas addressed by the ECOWS <br>conference.

This importance is reflected in the<br>fact that companies, without the force of any regulations, start to<br>measure their knowledge and intellectual capital, they even produce and<br>externally publish intellectual capital statements;
accounting<br>guidelines are being developed and standards are being questioned and<br>reviewed; and governments are beginning to measure the intellectual<br>capital of cities, regions, and countries. Companies and investors alike<br>are trying to measure their intellectual capital and the value of<br>knowledge. However, it seems as if the field has reached a point of<br>maturity where we need to address issues around taxonomies and research<br>methodology. The concept of knowledge or intellectual capital is often<br>poorly defined and is addressed from multiple disciplinary perspectives<br>which all give it slightly different meanings. <br><br> <br><br>The conference committee welcomes both academic and practitioner papers<br>on a wide range of topics using a range of scholarly approaches<br>including theoretical and empirical papers employing qualitative,<br>quantitative and critical methods.

Annual GI-Conference INFORMATIK 2011<br>October 04 ? 07, 2011 ? Berlin, Germany<br><br>Please excuse any cross-postings of this call for papers.<br><br>Since their introduction, Information Systems have changed and shaped many<br>aspects of business, may be even the way business is conducted altogether.<br>This is especially true for the cooperation between firms that leads to an<br>integration of value chains across multiple entities. The emerging networks<br>span not only the various business units of
any one company, but may also<br>include multiple units from multiple firms. As a consequence, companies need<br>to look not only at themselves in order to ensure sustainable and superior<br>business performance, but also at an entire eco-system of surrounding<br>entities with which they interact. These eco-systems span multiple stages of<br>the supply chain, that is, involve suppliers and customers. In order to<br>allow these different units to cooperate successfully, the existence of a<br>common platform is crucial. Such a platform enables the transformation of<br>monolithic, closed system landscapes into a more open infrastructural<br>backbone for business networks. An example is the increasing adoption of<br>service-oriented architecture (SOA). Through its higher degree of<br>modularity, SOA allows companies to integrate external services much more<br>easily. Moreover, the process and service chains of various entities along a<br>value chain can be
integrated much more seamlessly. Another case in point is<br>the growing importance of Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) concepts and<br>corresponding offerings.<br>The workshop on emerging enterprise eco-system platforms (3EP) provides a<br>forum for the scientific discourse dealing with the role of platforms in<br>business networks. The event aims at taking a both diverse and balanced look<br>on the impact and effects of platforms on enterprise eco-systems. During the<br>workshop we want to discuss technological as well as management-oriented<br>issues. In doing so, we want to encourage an exchange concerning design,<br>use, and optimization of platforms in enterprise eco-systems among software<br>developers, platform providers, and users.<br><br>Possible Topics:<br>- Different architectural approaches to platforms for respective application<br>scenarios<br>- Business models in the context of service-oriented platforms for<br>integrated information
systems<br>- Technological and organizational implications for platform providers<br>- Orchestration and composition of services<br>- Software product life-cycle in distributed and dynamic business networks<br>- Performance measurement and management of external services<br>- Effects of platform concepts on the degree of integration in business<br>networks<br>- Approaches to coordinate internal and external services<br>- Implications for the data layer (e.g., issues of data integration and<br>interoperability)<br>- Platform governance<br>- Emerging opportunities and potentials through the use of platforms<br>- Interaction between application marketplaces and platforms<br>- Economic implications of platform concepts for the software industry<br>- Impact of consumerization on platforms used in an enterprise context<br>- Case studies and best practices of platform providers and platform users<br><br>Your contribution:<br>We welcome theoretical and
empirical papers as submissions for the 3EP<br>workshop. Exemplary cases from the industry are also welcome to enrich the<br>discussion. Submissions can be made in either English or German and should<br>comprise 8 to 12 pages (including all figures, tables, and references).<br>Submissions should be made until 04/24/2011 (11:59 pm GMT +1).<br>Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings as part of<br>the 'Lecture Notes in Informatics (LNI)' series.

It is necessary to adapt ontology, epistemology and methodology. How should we conduct inquiries in workpractices? What kind of knowledge is expected? What are the driving knowledge interests? How is practical relevance ensured? What kinds of interventions are adequate in work practices? How should we arrange cooperation between researchers and practitioners? There are several pending issues. The interest for an adapted research approach on workpractices is growing. This can be seen in several disciplines. Such a research orientation can be labelled practice
research. Practice research can comprise different research approaches such as action research, interactive research, design research, evaluation research, pragmatic inquiry and collaborative inquiry among others.<br><br>An International and Inter-disciplinary Workshop on Practice research<br><br>What has been stated above motivates an inter-disciplinary knowledge exchange on practice research. An international and inter-disciplinary workshop on Practice research will be arranged. We welcome researchers from many fields for an open and constructive knowledge exchange. The organisers of this workshop come from the disciplines of Information systems and Social work. We welcome paper submissions from these disciplines as well as others. The workshop will follow an ordinary scientific procedure with submission of papers and selection of papers through peer-review (pursued by an international and interdisciplinary program committee).<br><br>Dates and
submission details<br><br>Submissions: April 1, 2011 (Extended time!)<br>Notification: April 30, 2011<br>Final manuscripts: May 25, 2011<br>Workshop: June 8, 2011, Helsinki, Finland (just before the 19th European Conference on Information Systems, ECIS-2011)<br><br>The workshop website is www.vits.org/practiceresearch2011/. Papers are expected to be between 5-15 pages. We welcome full research papers as well as shorter papers (work-in-progress or position papers).
