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 intra- and
inter-enterprise distributed application systems. EDOC 2011 will be
the fifteenth event in the series of conferences. Since 1997, EDOC
has brought together leading computer science researchers, IT
decision makers, enterprise architects, solution designers and
practitioners to discuss enterprise computing challenges, models
and solutions from the perspectives of academia, industry and
government.
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 realtime
business applications for collaborating enterprises. In recent
years, technologies related to enterprise architecture and business
processes management have become some of the top areas of
interest in enterprise computing. Today, the creation, operation and
evolution of enterprise computing systems create challenges that
range from goal and policy modeling through functional and nonfunctional
requirements to the deployment and maintenance of
solutions in and across customer businesses.
The IEEE EDOC Conference emphasizes a holistic view of
enterprise applications engineering and management, fostering
integrated approaches that can address and relate processes,
people and technology. Openness and distributed computing,
based on services, components and objects are important themes.
IEEE EDOC 2011 welcomes 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.
