GOALS AND TOPICS OF INTEREST
Today’s organizations face new challenges like globalization or shorter innovation cycles which force them to break new grounds in order to stay competitive. In this context the Networked Enterprise arises as new paradigm for successful, innovative and progressive companies. Several organizations already leverage this paradigm and try to counter actual challenges by inter-enterprise virtual partnerships. Business processes are rather organized as inter-company wide complex supply chains possibly even created at runtime and incorporating the respective core competencies of different partners acting in collaborations.

The area of the Networked Enterprise comprises a very broad spectrum of organizational issues and technologies. This workshop focuses on new approaches and technologies for the Networked Enterprise of the future. We seek papers describing any novel aspect of the Networked Enterprise with a focus on developing, using and adopting new technologies. Experiences in applying the technologies to real situations and reports on current projects are especially welcome.

Particularly, the workshop will include, but is not limited to solutions and new approaches in the following areas:

* Architectures and protocols for collaborative computing
* Autonomic computing for the Networked Enterprise
* Collaborative models, technologies, applications
* Compliance and legal issues
* Computer supported collaborative work
* Context-aware collaboration infrastructure
* Data management for the Networked Enterprise
* Design and set-up of collaborations
* Federated identity management
* Human aspects in Networked Enterprise
* Inter-company workflow and business process management
* Methodologies and tools supporting the Networked Enterprise
* Mobile services and technologies
* Modeling Networked Enterprises
* Portal and inter-portlet communication
* Privacy and data protection in collaborations
* Quality of service in the Networked Enterprise
* Security in collaborative networks, systems, and applications
* Services and semantic enrichment of services
* Simulation, improvement, optimization
* Trust management in collaborative networking and applications
* Web services technologies for collaborations
* Workflow technology and management
