EI2N 2012 - 7th International Workshop on Enterprise Integration, Interoperability and Networking

Enterprises must collaborate in order to prosper in the current extreme dynamic and heterogeneous business environment. Enterprise integration, interoperability and networking are the major disciplines that study how can companies collaborate and communicate in the most effective way. These disciplines are well-established and supported by international conferences, initiatives, groups, task forces and european projects where different domains of knowledge have been involved from different points of views and according to a variety of objectives (e.g., technological or managerial).
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.
This seventh edition of the workshop is organised as a venue of experts, part of the OTM’2012 Federated Conferences (http://www.onthemove-conferences.org). It aims at identifying issues in applications of interoperability in enterprise integration and networking that will be developed in future research projects. A keynote speech and a plenary session will be jointly organized with CoopIS’2012 conference.
