SCOPE
=20
It is a fact that enterprises need to collaborate in order to prosper in = the current extreme dynamic and heterogeneous business environment. Enterprise integration, = interoperability and networking are the major disciplines that have studied how to do = companies to collaborate and communicate in the most effective way. These disciplines are = well-established and are supported by international conferences, initiatives, groups, task forces and = European projects where different domains of knowledge have been considered from different = points of views and a variety of objectives (e.g., technological or managerial).=20
=20
Enterprise Integration involves breaking down organizational barriers to = improve synergy within the enterprise so that business goals are achieved in a more productive = and efficient way. Enterprise Modelling, Architecture, and Ontology are the pillars = supporting the achievement of Enterprise Integration and Interoperability.=20
=20
The workshop is organised as a Venue of Experts part of the OTM=922008 = Federated Conferences (http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf). It aims at identifying issues in = Applications of Interoperability in Enterprise Integration and Networking that will be = developed in future research projects.=20
=20
TOPICS OF INTEREST=20
=20
The main goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for practitioners = and researchers interested in enterprise integration, interoperability and networking to = meet, and exchange research and implementation ideas and share the most exciting results. = It offers for practitioners and researchers with diverse backgrounds, an opportunity = to present research papers, share experiences, and participate in open discussions. Relevant = topics include, but are not limited to, theoretical and/or empirical exploration of enterprise = models, tools and theories, as well as case studies and practices related to:=20
