About the Conference

IEEE EDOC 2013 is the seventeenth conference in a series that provides the key forum for
researchers and practitioners in the field of enterprise computing. EDOC conferences address the
full range of models, methodologies, and engineering technologies contributing to intra- and inter-
enterprise application systems. Since 1997, EDOC has brought together leading computer
scientists, 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. The IEEE EDOC conference series emphasizes a holistic view on
enterprise applications engineering and management, fostering integrated approaches that
address and relate business processes, people and technology. EDOC’13 welcomes high quality
scientific submissions as well as experience papers on enterprise computing from industry. The
main theme of EDOC’13 is the *enterprise of the future in a world of cloud, social and big data*.
Distributed and cloud computing are fundamental pillars of this theme enabling
collaborations based on service offerings, delivery and consumption within an enterprise and
across enterprise borders. Expert panel discussions and keynotes will address current topics and
issues in the domain.


Topics

The IEEE EDOC conference seeks high-quality contributions addressingthe domains, the life-cycle
issues and the realization technologies involved in building, deploying and operating enterprise
computing systems. Suggested areas include, but are not limited to:

Enterprise Architecture and Enterprise Application Architecture
Model-Based Approaches
Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) and Enterprise Service Architectures (ESA)
Governance in Service-Oriented Architectures
Business Process Management (BPM)
Business Analytics
Business Rules
Information Integration and Interoperability
Networked Enterprise Solutions
Enterprise Applications Deployment and Governance
Emerging Trends in Distributed Enterprise Applications

Rajkumar Buyya, University of Melbourne and Manjrasoft Pty Ltd
Keith Swenson, Fujitsu America Inc.
Francisco (Paco) Curbera, IBM Research


Submission Guidelines

Two types of paper submissions are solicited: a) scientific research papers, and b) industry
experience reports or case studies. Scientific research papers should describe original results not
been accepted or submitted for publication elsewhere. These papers will be evaluated based on
their scientific and technical contribution, originality, and relevance. In turn, industry experience
reports should provide new insights gained in case studies or when applying enterprise computing
technology in practice; industry experience reports shall further provide important feedback about
the state of practice and pose challenges for researchers. These papers will be evaluated based on
their appropriateness, significance, and clarity.Submissions should be full papers with 8-10 pages.
All submissions must be made in PDF format and comply with the IEEE Computer Society
Conference Proceedings Format Guidelines (http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting).

They should be made via the electronic submission system of the EDOC Conference Management
system: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=edoc2013. 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 be made accessible through IEEE Xplore and the
IEEE Computer Society Digital Library.

Post Conference Publication

The authors of a collection of selected papers will be invited to prepare a substantially revised and
extended version of their papers for publication in a special journal issue. In previous years,
selected papers from EDOC have been published in Springer's Information Systems Frontiers (ISF)(impact factor 1.596),
Enterprise Information Systems (EIS)(impact factor 0.786), and
International Journal of Cooperative Information Systems (IJCIS) (impact factor 1.433).
