We would like to announce that all EDOC 2010 workshops have
extended their deadlines for submitting papers to **May 1, 2010**
Accordingly, papers to WODPEC can be submitted until that date.
In any case, should you be preparing a paper that you'd like to
submit to WODPEC 2010, we would really appreciate if you could
let us know in advance so that we can start organizing the review
process as soon as possible.
We look forward to receiving your submissions to WODPEC 2010!
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
------------------
The RM-ODP standard (ISO/IEC 10746 | ITU-T Rec. X.901-X.904, Reference Model of
Open Distributed Processing) provides a comprehensive and coherent framework of
concepts for the specification of complex large scale IT systems. It has taken
on a new significance in the light of the Model-Driven Architecture (MDA)
initiative from the OMG, the wide-scale adoption of Service-Oriented
Architectures (SOA) and the emerging concepts of Enterprise Architecture. Major
companies and organizations are starting to use RM-ODP as an effective approach
for structuring their large-scale distributed IT system specifications.
Work on ODP is entering a new phase. From a practical point of view, there are
issues related to modeling techniques and notations. The standard ISO 19793,
UML4ODP, has recently been published, and there is a need to exchange
experience with its use and information on tools that support it. There is also
a need to identify other notations able to support specific ODP viewpoints,
such as SysML, and to report on the techniques for integrating specification
fragments expressed in different notations.
In ISO, a study is underway to examine more powerful techniques for expressing
policies and related concepts such as obligations, permissions and
prohibitions. WODPEC will provide a forum for presenting the latest thinking in
this area and for the presentation of potential solutions.
There are also plans for future ISO activities to show how the ODP ideas can be
applied to facilitate the processes of Data Design, System Planning and in the
incorporation of off-the-shelf and legacy components. Quality of Service is
another topic that is attracting a lot of attention in SOA and cloud systems,
and which is part of the planned activities. The workshop will provide an
opportunity to focus thinking in these areas.
Since tool support for ODP system specifications is paramount to support the
practical application of the RM-ODP framework demonstrations of such tools are
warmly welcome for presentation at the workshop. Relevant tools include
viewpoint language editors, viewpoint correspondence management tools, model
analyzers, code generators, viewpoint model repositories, etc. The advent of
the MDE and the proliferation of modeling languages and tools have provided an
excellent environment for the development of tools for ODP system
specifications.
With regard to the relationship of the RM-ODP with other frameworks and
methodologies, there are issues concerning development methods and processes,
and current and emerging architectural approaches. How can an approach based on
the RM-ODP accommodate architectural approaches such as Service Oriented
Architecture (SOA), the Component-based Architecture (CBA), and the Event
Driven Architecture (EDA)? Can it accommodate aspect-oriented development
approaches? Can it be successfully integrated into development processes such
as RUP? What is the relationship of the RM-ODP to enterprise architectural
frameworks such as TOGAF, DoDAF, Archimate?
WODPEC 2010 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.
TOPICS
------
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
RM-ODP system specifications:
- conceptual and formal foundations of the RM-ODP;
- the relationship of an ODP enterprise specification to, and its integration
with, more general business models or Enterprise Architectures;
- specification for the management of enterprise federations;
- specification of business rules, policies and system evolution;
- specification of policy;
- specification of security and system management;
- the impact of developments in technology on the ODP computational,
engineering and technology languages;
- the use of ODP for specific application domains (finance, telecomms, health
care, aerospace, utility, etc.);
- identification and management of correspondences between viewpoints;
Use of UML:
- Experience using the UML4ODP profiles to represent ODP concepts;
- formal semantics for UML Profiles for the representation of ODP concepts;
- representation of viewpoint correspondences using UML;
- the industrial adoption of UML for ODP system specification;
- use of domain-specific or general purpose modelling languages other than UML
for ODP system specification.
Development practices/approaches and RM-ODP:
- relationship of the RM-ODP approach to, and its integration with, the MDA;
- relationship of the RM-ODP approach to, and its integration with,
architectural approaches such as SOA, CBA, EDA and aspect-oriented development;
- relationship of the RM-ODP approach to, and its integration with,
development processes such as RUP;
- relationship of the RM-ODP approach to enterprise architectural frameworks
such as TOGAF or DoDAF.
Tool support for Enterprise Architecture:
- requirements on supporting tools or tool chains (currently in use or under
development);
- MDD tools for ODP system specifications.
Case studies and experiences
- examples of the application of the RM-ODP approach to the specification of
IT systems, in particular large-scale distributed systems;
- teaching the system of RM-ODP concepts to students, especially to graduate
(experienced) students, not only in IT but also in IS, MBA, and other programs.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES AND WORKSHOP FORMAT
-----------------------------------------
To enable lively and productive discussions, attendance will be limited to 25
participants. Priority will be given to those who submit a paper or position
statement. All submissions will be formally peer reviewed.
Submissions should be 4 to 10 pages long in IEEE Computer Society Proceedings
format (http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting) and include the
authors' names, affiliations and contact details. Papers can be submitted
either as short (4 pages) or full papers (up to 10 pages). They should be
submitted by e-mail as PDF files before 17 April 2010, using the Easychair
system: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wodpec2010
Authors will be notified of acceptance by 4 June 2010. At least one author of
accepted papers should register and participate in the Workshop. Accepted
papers will be published in the IEEE Digital Library. A selection of the best
papers of the workshop will be invited to submit extended versions to the
special issue of a journal about "RM-ODP for Enterprise Computing" (currently
in negotiation).
The duration of the workshop is one day. The workshop will be divided into two
main sessions (morning and afternoon). The first session will be dedicated to
the brief presentation of papers, initial discussions, and the joint
identification of specific issues that participants consider to be of
particular relevance and deserving further joint analysis. These issues will be
discussed in groups during the afternoon, closing the workshop with a one-hour
wrap-up session dedicated to drawing the workshop's conclusions, identifying
the open issues, and outlining some future work.
