Interoperability problems constitute fundamental barriers to such collaboration. Another characteristic of modern economic life is the requirement on continuous and rapid change and innovation. Due to these two factors, the success of an enterprise more and more depends on its ability to seamlessly interoperate with other agile enterprises, and to be able to adapt to actual or imminent changes. Agility, particularly in the form of interoperability, thus overtakes efficiency as primary business characteristic. A central expected enabler for the required interoperability, including its technical, semantic and pragmatic support, is the Future Internet. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>The role of the current Internet for enterprise interoperability is essential but at the same time very limited in light of its potential.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>The Future Internet should be much more than a universal access and communication infrastructure. It should be able to empower enterprises to innovate by creating new business value in collaboration as well as in competition with other enterprises, based on relevant knowledge about each other and the market. It should do so in a sustainable and socially responsible fashion, making efficient use of physical resources with a minimal environmental footprint. Therefore, the Internet as we know it should evolve into a universal business support system in which enterprises enjoy interoperability services that can be invoked on the fly according to their business needs. Such interoperability services may require physical sensing capabilities as well as extensively exploiting knowledge assets.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>This Special Issue aims at contributing to a consolidation of the theoretical and empirical knowledge on Enterprise Interoperability, and at promoting novel ideas and early experience regarding the use and realization of the Future Internet vision to advance Enterprise Interoperability.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Topics<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>======<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Papers should fit the scope of this special issue as described above.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Furthermore, papers should contain a case study on a real life application.
