SCOPE
In the global economic world and new networked environment, the success of an enterprise more and more depends on its ability to seamlessly interoperate with other agile enterprises. Enterprise collaboration, interoperability and services are important approaches to empower enterprises for creating new business value in global competition. The IFIP IWEI (International Working Conference on Enterprise Interoperability) conferences, which are held by the IFIP TC5 WG 5.8 (Enterprise Interoperability), aim at identifying and discussing challenges and solutions with respect to enterprise interoperability, both at the business and the technical level. Since 2008, three IFIP IWEI conferences have been held in Munich(2008), Valencia(2009) and Stockholm(2011) respectively. In September 2012, the IFIP IWEI conference will be held in Harbin, China. This conference focuses on collaboration, interoperability and services for networked enterprises, and will promote to develop the scientific foundation for enterprise collaboration and interoperability, the framework for addressing interoperability challenges from different viewpoints, the new IT and business approaches for enterprise interoperability, the methods and models to evaluate interoperability solutions, and the practical solutions of enterprise interoperability.
