Twelfth International IEEE EDOC Conference (EDOC 2008)
"The Enterprise Computing Conference"

15-19 September 2008, Munich, Germany
http://www.edocconference.org


--- Call for papers ---  (Please see attached call for workshops)


ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The IEEE EDOC Conference is the key annual event in enterprise 
computing. EDOC conferences address the full range of engineering 
technologies and methods contributing to enterprise distributed 
application systems. EDOC 2008 will be the twelfth event in the series 
of conferences, which since 1997 has brought together leading computer 
science researchers, IT decision makers, IT architects, solution 
designers and practitioners from academia, industry and government to 
discuss enterprise computing challenges, models and solutions.
Enterprise computing is based on a wide (and ever growing) range of 
methods, models, tools and technologies. The resulting applications also 
cover a broad spectrum of vertical domains and industry segments, from 
electronic and mobile commerce to real-time business applications for 
collaborating enterprises. In recent years, technologies related to 
business processes integration, management, execution and monitoring 
have become one of the top areas of interest in enterprise computing. 
Today, the creation, operation and evolution of enterprise computing 
systems create challenges that range from high-level requirements and 
policy modeling to the deployment and maintenance of solutions in and 
across customer businesses.
The IEEE EDOC Conference emphasizes a holistic view on enterprise 
applications engineering and management, fostering integrated approaches 
that can address and relate processes, people and technology. The themes 
of openness and distributed computing, based on services, components and 
objects, provide a useful and unifying conceptual framework.
The 2008 EDOC conference will welcome high quality scientific 
submissions as well as papers on enterprise computing industry 
experiences. Expert panel discussions and keynotes will address hot 
topics and issues in the domain. The TEAA conference (Trends in 
Enterprise Application Architecture) will become part of EDOC in 2008 
and further enrich the scientific program and publication scope of the 
conference.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Two types of paper submissions will be accepted – scientific research 
papers and industry experience reports or case studies.
Scientific research papers should describe original results that have 
not been accepted or submitted for publication elsewhere. These papers 
will be evaluated for scientific or technical contribution, originality, 
appropriateness and significance.
Experience reports should describe new insights gained from case studies 
or the application of enterprise computing technology in practice. These 
papers will be evaluated based on their appropriateness, significance 
and clarity.
Experience reports and a small selection of short papers from the 
scientific contributions will be allocated a maximum of seven pages, 
full length scientific papers a maximum of 10 pages in the conference 
proceedings.
All submissions must comply with the IEEE Computer Society conference 
proceedings format guidelines. All submissions must be in English. 
Submissions should be made electronically in PDF (preferred) or 
PostScript format via the electronic submission system via the EDOC 
Conference Management system. All papers will be refereed by at least 3 
members of the international program committee.
The conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer 
Society Press and will be accessible through IEEE Xplore.



WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
We are inviting proposals for workshops both on innovative research and 
business related topics. Workshops provide organizers and participants 
an opportunity to discuss current topics in enterprise computing in a 
small and interactive atmosphere. Workshops can choose to concentrate 
in-depth on research topics, but can also be devoted to application 
issues. Proposals should include the workshop title, the names and a 
brief (200-word) biography for each organizer and a summary of the 
workshop contents (approximately 1-2 pages i.e. 500-1000 words).
For details of workshop submissions and relevant deadlines, see our web site



POST CONFERENCE PUBLICATION "Trends in Enterprise Application Architecture"
The authors for a set of selected papers will be invited to  prepare a 
substantially revised and extended version of their papers to be 
published in the Trends in Enterprise Application Architecture” volume, 
to appear in the Springer Lecture Notes in Business Information 
Processing (LNBIP).
