1) International Workshop on Clouds for Enterprises (C4E) 2011
by Vladimir Tosic ([log in to unmask]) et al.
Description:
------------
Cloud computing is an increasingly popular computing paradigm that aims
to streamline the on-demand provisioning of software (SaaS), platform
(PaaS), infrastructure (IaaS), and data (DaaS) as services. Deploying
applications on a cloud can help to achieve scalability, improve
flexibility of computing infrastructure , and reduce total cost of
ownership. However, a variety of challenges arise when deploying and
operating applications and services in complex and dynamic cloud-based
environments, which are frequent in enterprises and governments.
Due to the security and privacy concerns with public cloud offerings
(which first attracted widespread attention), it seems likely that many
enterprises and governments will choose hybrid cloud, community cloud,
and (particularly in the near future) private cloud solutions.
Multi-tier infrastructures like these not only promise vast
opportunities for future business models and new types of integrated
business services, but also pose severe technical and organizational
problems.
The goal of this workshop is to bring together academic, industrial, and
government researchers (from different disciplines), developers, and IT
managers interested in cloud computing technologies and/or their
consumer-side/provider-side use in enterprises and governments. Through
paper presentations and discussions, this workshop will contribute to
the inter-disciplinary and multi-perspective exchange of knowledge and
ideas, dissemination of results about completed and on-going research
projects, as well as identification and analysis of open cloud research
and adoption/exploitation issues.

2) Decision-oriented Business Applications: Experiences and Challenges
(DOBA)
by Emilio Rubiera ([log in to unmask]) et al.
Description:
------------
Decision-oriented applications are complex due to the underlying
business policies and require the participation of many stakeholders,
from business experts over analysts to IT developers. In current
practice, business users do not own their applications, as their
construction and maintenance inevitably require having other agents
involved. In the recent years, progress has been made in standardization
of modeling and knowledge representation languages, as well as advances
in methodologies and theoretical foundations for policy acquisition and
execution. It is becoming increasingly feasible to reduce the coupling
between policies and their implementations, and to empower users to
independently interact with the part of a business application that is
relevant to them, including the decision modeling process. One approach
towards achieving this objective is to separate understandably the
representation of the knowledge at the business, operational and
execution levels, on the !
one hand; and the business vocabulary from the business rules, on the
other. At the same time, it must be possible to merge them at any moment
in order to provide integrated ownership, combined execution and
consistency checking.
The goal of this workshop is to gather together the community of
business users in charge of decision-support business applications. The
workshop will be a means for practitioners to share and exchange
experiences, best practices, critical visions, success stories, and to
de?ne a possible roadmap to the future.

3) Convergence of Business Architecture, Business Process Architecture,
Enterprise Architecture and Service Oriented Architecture
by Jorge Sanz ([log in to unmask]) et al.
Description:
------------
The modernization of industries calls for a deeper integration of
several business and IT disciplines. Significant knowledge sources
reside in individual domains spanning business strategy, operational
process management and information technology. A number of recent and
ongoing engineering, computer science and business research efforts have
provided invaluable formalization toward understanding architecture of
organizations from a multidisciplinary point-of-view. These activities
contribute to a potentially deeper integration across strategy,
operations and IT by providing a diversity of assets useful for
transformation of enterprises. Academic, industrial and standard
organizations have made great progress in the individual disciplines and
their cohesive convergence, but substantial challenges remain unresolved.
As a clear signal of this trend, several architecture endeavors populate
the research and professional literature. Specifically, four
architectures have clearly emerged, i.e., Business Process Architecture
(BPA), Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), Enterprise Architecture (EA)
and Business Architecture (BA), each posing the goal of providing
technical rigor and convergence across their own communities of
practitioners and researchers. However, the deep interconnection across
these architectures and related practices present some formidable
technical challenges. With the new positioning of Business Architecture
coming from a revamp of interest from companies, government
organizations, standards and business analysts, gaps, overlaps and
related fundamental issues across architectures resurface. As a simple
but conclusive example of the seminal cross-fertilization opportunity,
Business Process Management (BPM) is today addressed by each SOA, EA and
BA. Considering that BPM is!
a central subject in services business, the extent to which this
commonality of concerns across architectures constitutes a redundancy,
an oppositional view, or a complementarity remains to be explained.
Similarly, "industry models" (in a wide and at times, also ambiguous
sense) is a subject of research and practitioners' concern from
different architecture and related BPM communities. There are several
other important topics belonging to the same sphere of convergence that
should be addressed in this Workshop.
The goal of this workshop is to generate some of the foundational ground
needed from research and practice that can help BA, BPA, SOA and EA
converge and / or be unified whenever necessary for more cohesive
business transformation and optimization of organizations. Effective use
of automation and supporting information technology in industries will
be substantially accelerated by seeing BA, EA, BPA and SOA providing
foundations and practices that conclusively benefit from each other and
become much more prescriptive than they are when individually applied..
The goal of this workshop is to gather contributions from academia and
industry to foster innovation, document position statements and seed
common agendas across the involved disciplines.

4) Sustainable Enterprise Software (SES)
by Katsuhide Fujita ([log in to unmask]) et al.
Description:
------------
SES'11 is the international workshop on advances in theory, systems, and
applications for enterprise software. Enterprise software is used in
organizations, such as in a business or government, as opposed to
software chosen by individuals. Especially, the sustainability of
enterprise software is one of an important topic, recently. Without
focusing on the sustainability, the enterprise software has not been
developed depending on the change of life. On the other hand, the
technical breakthrough of sustainable enterprise software is not enough.
This workshop is about the invention of sustainable software based on
the artificial intelligence, e-commerce, and intelligent web
technologies. Especially, our workshop focuses on the invention of
sustainable enterprise software based on the Web Intelligence and
Artificial Intelligence.
The increase of Business research activities can be observed in a
variety of the fields. Though there have been several workshops on
Business and Services focusing on enterprise software, there is little
interaction so far among researchers. The aim of this workshop is to
encourage activities in this field, and to bring together world-wide
researchers with an interest in Enterprise Software. Unlike the
conventional conferences, this workshop will mainly discuss and explore
scientific and practical problems as raised by the participants.
Especially, we provide enough discussion parses for understanding the
importance of sustainability and the relationships between the
enterprise software and the AI techniques.

5) Green Enterprise and Commerce (GreEnCom)
by Chulmo Koo
Description:
------------
While industries, corporations, and information systems (IS) units have
acknowledged the importance of environmental issues, the IS academy has
provided limited contribution to burgeoning knowledge in this important
field. For example, Google has been paying much attention to build up a
clean energy future, and search better energy options: (1) Green
Operations, which is trying to use as little energy as possible in data
centers and office, (2) Green Products, which integrate technology,
innovation, scalability, and talented tools for offset the emission that
it cannot be eliminated, (3) Green Investment, which is an renewable
energy project investment that achieve benefits and risk, (4) Green
Awareness, which pursue a green policy, strategy, and practices.
The critical role of Greening IS and Green IT for corporate greening
eco-computing systems, for consumer’s motivation toward green IT
behavior in response to goods and services, for protecting an
environment in the future generation and solving a shortage of energy is
urgently needed to be embedded in the life cycles of materials,
manufacturing systems, and public infrastructure. Even though all
consensus of Computer Science, Management Science based on both of
academic researcher and practitioners has already begun to initiate that
IS related to a set of people, infrastructure, IT components, IT
service, organization strategy & capability, and consumer’s motivation
would give various aspects’ views for greening business and
sustainability in the next generation. Through encouragement of academic
researchers to respond to this social and computing call for
establishing the IS perspective into Eco-computing systems, Greening IT
behavior, and next generation, we seek to expand!
and incorporate various research methodologies including theoretical
approaches (conceptual/theory building), empirical studies encompassing
broad-based surveys, case studies, technical research modeling,
quantitative and analytical techniques.
Specifically, our objective toward this workshop is twofold:
(1) To further unite the green academic community integrating Computer
Science, Management Science, and Management Information Systems in IT
infrastructure, organizational aspects, and individual aspects in
response to environmental issues.
(2) To develop a research agenda from both researchers and practitioners
for established and emergent scholars in the various areas.
