Call for Workshop Proposals

The International EDOC Conference is the key forum for researchers and practitioners in the field of enterprise computing. Since 1997, EDOC conferences address the full range of models, methodologies, and engineering technologies contributing to intra- and inter-enterprise application systems.

The theme of EDOC 2023 is designing and operating “sustainable enterprises”  to reflect the global developments toward sustainable living. 

The main conference is accompanied with a number of workshops prior to the main event. They provide an excellent forum for smaller groups of industry experts, researchers, consumers and other interested parties, to discuss specific topics of interest, in a less formal structure than the main conference. The ultimate goal is to develop a common understanding of the challenges, possible solutions and stimulate longer term collaboration of participants. 

These workshops can focus on the established technologies in new application areas, or even new areas of inquiries, some of which are listed next.

• Enterprise architecture
• Interoperability, federation, and integration
• Service-oriented architectures
• Software architecture and engineering
• Model-driven engineering
• Digital twins
• Enterprise security, information privacy and consent
• Distributed ledgers and smart contracts
• Business process and business rules
• Advanced analytics and AI for business and consumer applications
• Semantics and information management
• Digital ethics, law and human rights
• Community trust, resilience, and responsibility - AI concerns
• Human machine ecology
• Sustainability

Workshops can focus on emerging and interdisciplinary topics related to enterprise computing in general, or in domains such as healthcare, advanced manufacturing, environmental sciences, sustainable agriculture, finance, transportation, aerospace and defense, energy and supply chains, while ensuring compliance with the related human rights, ethics and legal challenges and longer-term interoperability strategies. Industry involvement, and industrial experience reports, are encouraged as well.

We invite you to submit proposals for one-day or half-day workshops. Both research and application-oriented topics are welcome.

We encourage workshop organizers to be creative when structuring their workshop programs and CFPs. Next to paper presentations, workshops can be enriched by invited talks (from practitioners or researchers), working groups, demonstrations, etc.

SUBMISSIONS

Please ensure that you adhere to the above workshop proposal guidelines providing all requested information using at most six pages. The proposal must be submitted as a PDF file to the workshop chairs.

PROCEEDINGS

We will organize a joint post-proceedings volume for all workshops, which will be published with Springer under the Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) series. 

Workshops organizers may choose to publish their papers in this volume or organize themselves an independent proceedings volume with another publisher (e.g. CEUR-WS.org).  Those that opt for the Springer LNBIP proceedings must comply with a 50% acceptance rate.

Workshop organizers may also decide to not include all accepted submissions in their proceedings, such as vision papers, extended abstracts papers, etc.
