ICSP 2013 - Industry Applications and Standard initiatives for Cooperative Information Systems for Interoperable Infrastructures

Cooperative Information Systems provide enterprises and communities of users with flexible, scalable and intelligent services in large‐scale networking environments. The OTM conference series has established itself as a major international forum for exchanging ideas and results on scientific research for practitioners in fields such as computer supported cooperative work (CSCW), middleware, Internet/Web data management, electronic commerce, workflow management, knowledge flow, agent technologies and software architectures, to name a few.
The recent popularity and interest in service‐oriented architectures & domains require capabilities for on‐demand composition of services. Furthermore, cloud computing environments are becoming more prevalent, in which information technology resources must be configured to meet user‐driven needs. These emerging technologies represent a significant need for highly interoperable systems.
As a part of OnTheMove 2013, we are organizing an Industry Case Studies Program in order to emphasize the Research/Industry cooperation on these future trends. The focus of the program will be a discussion of ideas where research areas address interoperable information systems and infrastructure. Industry leaders, standardisation initiatives, European and international projects consortiums are invited to submit 4‐page position papers discussing how projects within their organizations address software, systems and architecture interoperability.
Each submitted paper will be refereed based on its originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. Submissions must be in English. Only electronic submissions in Adobe PDF format are acceptable.
The final Business Program proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag as LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science). Author instructions can be found at: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html
These authors will also participate in a panel that will occur during the conference.
