About the Conference

IEEE EDOC 2014 is the eighteenth 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'14 welcomes high quality scientific submissions as well as experience

papers on enterprise computing from industry. The main theme of EDOC'14 is

"Utilizing Big Data for Enterprise of the Future" and addresses the

four V's of Big Data in the context of enterprise computing

[http://www.ibmbigdatahub.com/infographic/four-vs-big-data]:

1. new ways to utilize and manage the large *volume* of data in

enterprises,

2. efficient techniques for handling the *velocity* of data where large

amount of data are captured in a short time frame,

3. bringing together a large *variety* of different forms of data within

and across enterprises, and

4. dealing with *veracity* or uncertainty of data leading to quality and

trust in collected data.

Expert panel discussions and keynotes will address current topics and

issues in this domain.

Workshops

The following nine workshops will take place in conjunction with EDOC'14:

* 5th International Workshop on Models and Model-driven Methods for Service Engineering (3M4SE'14)

* 3rd International Workshop on Adaptive Case Management and other non-workflow approaches to BPM (AdaptiveCM'14)

* 1st International Workshop on Compliance, Evolution and Security in Cross-Organizational Processes (CeSCoP'14)

* 9th International Workshop on Trends in Enterprise Architecture Research (TEAR'14)

Call for Papers

Two types of paper submissions are solicited:

1. scientific research papers, and

2. 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 hosted on EasyChair:

http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=edoc2014

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. The journal will be announced in

due course.
