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 2010 will be the fourteenth event in the series of conferences. Since
1997, EDOC has brought together leading computer science researchers, IT
decision makers, IT 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 real-time business applications for collaborating enterprises. In
recent years, technologies related to business processes integration,
management, execution and monitoring 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 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.
IEEE EDOC 2010 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.
IEEE EDOC 2010 will be realized in Vitória, ES, Brazil. Vitória is one of the
three island capitals of Brazilian states, and is located in the Southeastern
region, the most developed of Brazil. The city lies between the Atlantic Ocean
and the Serra do Mar mountain range and is strategically located close to the
big urban centres of the country and is, on average, an hour by plane from Rio
de Janeiro and São Paulo.
We are glad to announce keynote speeches by Prof. Dr. David Harel (The William
Sussman Professorial Chair at the Dept. of Computer Science and Applied
Mathematics, The Weizmann Institute of Science) and Prof. Dr. David Luckham
(Professor Emeritus of Electrical Engineering, Stanford University).

WORKSHOPS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Workshops complement IEEE EDOC's main scientific program with presentations and
discussions of both mature and preliminary project results, ideas, experiences,
and knowledge in a way that is more interactive and more focused than paper
sessions in the main conference program. To foster this interactivity and
focus, workshops target a narrower range of topics.
Workshop proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society and
included in the IEEE Computer Society Digital Library (CSDL) and the IEEE
Xplore.
Papers should be submitted before 17 April 2010.
The workshops held in conjunction with EDOC 2010 are as follows:
* Joint 5th International Workshop on Vocabularies, Ontologies and Rules
for The Enterprise (VORTE 2010) - International Workshop on Metamodels,
Ontologies and Semantic Technologies (MOST 2010): The objective of VORTE-MOST
2010 is to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in the
relation between ontology and information models, and theoretical topics such
as formal ontology, formal logics, conceptual modelling, enterprise computing,
computational linguistics, cognitive science, knowledge representation, the
Semantic Web, and MDE (Model-Driven Engineering), as well as more practical
topics as a result of applications of ontologies in diverse fields, such as
knowledge management, informatics for education, ontology-based information and
database integration, information processing (retrieval, classification and
extraction). For more information please visit
http://edoc2010.inf.ufes.br/vorte2010.
* 3rd International Workshop on Dynamic and Declarative Business Processes
(DDBP 2010): This workshop will be an opportunity for participants to exchange
opinions, advance ideas, and discuss preliminary results on current topics
related to dynamic and declarative business processes and on supporting
business process evolution. A particular interest will be taken in bridging
theoretical research and practical issues. To this end, contributions stating
open problems, case studies, tool presentations, or any other work assessing
the practical significance of dynamic and declarative business processes by
means of concrete examples and situations, will be particularly welcome. For
more information please visit http://edoc2010.inf.ufes.br/ddbp2010.
* International Workshop on Models and Model-driven Methods for Service
Engineering (3M4SE 2010): 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. For more
information please visit http://edoc2010.inf.ufes.br/3m4se2010.
* 6th International Workshop on ODP for Enterprise Computing (WODPEC 2010):
WODPEC aims to continue to provide a discussion forum where researchers,
practitioners, system modelers, tool developers and representatives of
standardization bodies can meet and exchange experiences, problems and ideas
related to the ODP framework for system specification, its practical
application and long term evolution, and its use in conjunction with other
architectural practices and approaches (e.g., MDA, SOA, CBA, EDA) in the realm
of Enterprise Distributed Computing. For more information please visit
http://edoc2010.inf.ufes.br/wodpec2010.
* International Workshop on Goal-based Business Process Engineering (WGBP
2010): WGBP aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in the areas
of goals and business process engineering to discuss how these two
complementary areas may be integrated and further developed. This way, goals
could be applied as a natural modeling construct to capture the requirements of
a system to-be and to motivate business processes that underlie organizations.
For more information please visit http://edoc2010.inf.ufes.br/wgbp2010.
* 2nd International Workshop on Service-oriented Enterprise Architecture
for Enterprise Engineering (SoEA4EE 2010): This workshop will focus on research
in the area of alignment of the enterprise goals and strategy with the
service-oriented enterprise architecture, design of service-oriented enterprise
architecture and mapping of service-oriented enterprise architecture to
enterprise resources. For more information please visit
