According to Ross <br>et al. , smart companies define how they (will) do business (using an <br>operating model) and design the processes and infrastructure critical <br>to their current and future operations (using an enterprise <br>architecture).<br><br>Enterprise Engineering (EE) is the application of engineering <br>principles to the design of Enterprise Architectures. It allows <br>deriving the Enterprise Architecture from the enterprise goals and <br>strategy and aligning it with the enterprise resources as shown in <br>Figure 1, Enterprise architecture aims (i) to understand the <br>interactions and all kind of articulations between business and <br>information technology, (ii) to define how to align business <br>components and IT components, as well as business strategy and IT <br>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 <br>into account the evolution of this mapping. It also provides <br>documentation on the assignment of enterprise resources to the <br>enterprise goals and strategy.<br><br>There are different paradigms for creating enterprise architecture. <br>The most important is to encapsulate the functionalities of IT <br>resources as services. By this means, it is possible to clearly <br>describe the contributions of IT both in terms of functionality and <br>quality and to define a service-oriented enterprise architecture <br>(SoEA). SoEA easily integrates wide-spread technological approaches <br>such as SOA or emerging ones as cloud computing because they also use <br>service as structuring and governing paradigm. The enterprise goals <br>and strategies are mapped to a SoEA.<br><br>SoEA differentiates four layers of services. Thus, its scope is much <br>broader than the scope of 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 <br>service (value) nets to provide higher level services.<br><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 <br>repository for a given business domain. An example is call-centre <br>services provided 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 SOA that are a <br>popular paradigm for creating enterprise software.<br>3. Platform Services provide support of the development of <br>applications. They provide services for the execution of applications, <br>middleware 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 <br>power, storage etc. They are an important topic in management and <br>practice collections such as ITILV3 or standards such as ISO/IEC <br>20000 have gained a high popularity.<br><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 <br>four 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. SoEA and Cloud-Computing<br>4. Mapping of service-oriented enterprise architecture to enterprise 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 SoEA<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 <br>and 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 SoEA?<br><br><br>2. Design of SoEA<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 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. SoEA and Cloud-Computing<br>- How does SoEA interrelate with cloud computing?<br>- How are Enterprise Architectures designed using cloud-services?<br>- How differ cloud-services from other kinds of services?<br>- How are Enterprise Architectures designed using cloud-environments?<br>- Which meta-services are necessary for cloud-environments?<br>- How are service (value) nets -consisting of business, software, <br>platform and infrastructure services- created?<br><br><br>4. Mapping of SoEA to enterprise resources<br>- Which resources are relevant for SoEA?<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 <br>of resources?<br><br><br><br><br>-----------<br>SUBMISSION<br>-----------<br>Full papers (8-10 pages in the IEEE-CS format) describing mature <br>results are sought. In addition, short papers (4 pages in the IEEE-CS <br>format) may be submitted to initiate discussion around ideas or <br>preliminary research results and ongoing projects. The paper selection <br>will be based upon the relevance of a paper to the main topics, as <br>well as upon its quality and potential to generate relevant <br>discussion. All contributions will be peer reviewed based on the <br>complete version, being full or short. The review process for the two <br>types of papers will be different because of their distinct purposes.<br><br>All papers published in the EDOC 2012 workshop proceedings must be in <br>the IEEE Computer Society format <br>(http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting). 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 Easychair at <br>https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=soea4ee2012<br><br>At least one author of each accepted workshop paper will have to <br>register for the whole EDOC 2012 conference and attend the workshop to <br>present the paper. Analogously to previous years, there will be no <br>workshop-only registration at EDOC 2012. If a paper is not presented <br>in the workshop, it will be removed from the workshop proceedings <br>published in the IEEE Xplore digital library.<br><br>The SoEA4EE workshop has been a full day workshop in conjunction with <br>EDOC’09 in New Zealand, with EDOC’10 in Brasil and with <br>EDOC’11 in Finland.<br>The link for the proceedings of EDOC 2009 workshops is:<br><br>http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/tocresult.jsp?isnumber=5331971&isYear=2009.<br>The link for the proceedings of EDOC 2010 workshops is: <br>http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/mostRecentIssue.jsp?punumber=5626915.<br>The link for the proceedings of EDOC 2011 workshops is: <br>http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/mostRecentIssue.jsp?punumber=6036125.<br><br><br><br>-----------------<br>EXPECTED RESULTS<br>-----------------<br>All papers will be published in the workshop wiki (www.soea4ee.org) <br>before the workshop, so that everybody can learn about the problems <br>that are important for other participants. The workshop will consist <br>of long and short paper presentations, brainstorming sessions and <br>discussions.

SBCARS's previous editions were highlighted by the presentation of high quality technical papers, international invited speakers, and tutorials.<br>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.<br>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.<br>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:<br>- 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<br><br>CONTEXT======<br>SBCARS 2012 is an event part of the 3rd Brazilian Conference on Software: Theory and Practice (CBSoft 2012), http://www.cbsoft.dimap.ufrn.br/ ? which will also host three other well-established Brazilian symposia:<br>- 26th Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering (SBES 2012)- 16th Brazilian Symposium on Programming Languages (SBLP 2012)- 15th Brazilian Symposium on Formal Methods (SBMF 2012)<br>CBSoft 2012, as well as SBCARS 2012, will take place in Natal-RN, Brazil. Natal is the Americas? entrance spot, the closest one to Europe and Africa, a modern and joyful city, born between its rivers and the sea, adorned by dunes and lots of green trees. A land of colors and flavors where one can find pleasure and adventure. It is summer here all year long, on a littoral of wonderful beaches, lagoons, semi-arid backland, cuisine, rides, art and culture that was never seen before, all allied to its people?s natural hospitality. <br><br>PAPER SUBMISSION=============<br>Submitted papers can be written in Portuguese or English. Submissions in English are strongly encouraged since the symposium proceedings will be made available at the IEEE Digital Library. Papers submitted to SBCARS 2012 must not have been simultaneously submitted to any other forum (conference or journal), nor should they have already been published elsewhere. The acceptance of a paper implies that at least one of its authors will register for the event to present it.<br>Submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three referees, based on its originality, relevance, technical soundness and clarity of presentation.<br>Papers must be no longer than 10 pages, including figures, tables and references. Submissions must be sent in the Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) format and must follow the IEEE two-column conference format, with unnumbered pages, whose example is available at: http://www.ieee.org/portal/cms_docs/pubs/confpubcenter/pdfs/samplems.pdf.
