 About the conference
 The IEEE EDOC Conference is the key annual event in enterprise 
 computing. EDOC conferences address the full range of models, 
 methodologies, and engineering technologies contributing to intra- and 
 inter-enterprise distributed/cloud application systems. EDOC 2012 will 
 be the sixteenth event in the series of conferences. Since 1997, EDOC 
 has brought together leading computer science researchers, IT decision 
 makers, enterprise architects, solution designers and practitioners to 
 discuss enterprise computing challenges, models and solutions from the 
 perspectives of academia, industry and government. The IEEE EDOC 
 Conference emphasizes a holistic view of enterprise applications 
 engineering and management, fostering integrated approaches that can 
 address and relate processes, people and technology. Openness and 
 distributed computing, based on services, components and objects are 
 important themes. IEEE EDOC 2012 welcomes high quality scientific 
 submissions as well as papers on enterpr
 ise computing industry experiences. This year, the main theme will be 
 on the impacts of services and cloud to enterprise architecture. Expert 
 panel discussions and keynotes will address hot topics and issues in the 
 domain.

 Topics
 The IEEE EDOC conference seeks high-quality contributions addressing 
 the domains, the life-cycle issues and the realization technologies 
 involved in building, deploying and operating enterprise computing 
 systems. Suggested areas include, but are not limited to:
 ? Enterprise Architecture and Enterprise Application Architecture
 ? Model based approaches
 ? Service oriented architectures (SOA) and enterprise service 
 architectures (ESA)
 ? Service oriented architecture governance
 ? Business process management (BPM)
 ? Business analytics
 ? Business rules
 ? Information integration and interoperability
 ? Networked Enterprise Solutions
 ? Enterprise applications deployment and governance
 ? State of the art in distributed enterprise applications
 ? Enterprise Computing Infrastructures

 Submission guidelines
 Two types of paper submissions will be accepted: a) scientific research 
 papers, and b) industry experience reports or case studies. Scientific 
 research papers should describe original results that have not been 
 accepted or submitted for publication elsewhere. These papers will be 
 evaluated for scientific or technical contribution, originality, 
 appropriateness and significance. Industrial papers should describe new 
 insights gained from case studies or the application of enterprise 
 computing technology in practice, contribute important feedback about 
 the state of practice and how current research is applied, and pose 
 challenges for researchers. These papers will be evaluated based on 
 their appropriateness, significance and clarity. Submissions should be 
 either full papers with 8-10 pages or short papers with 4 pages. They 
 should be made electronically in PDF format via the electronic 
 submission system of the EDOC Conference Management system (hosted at 
 http://www.easychair.org/
 conferences/?conf=edoc2012). All papers will be refereed by at least 3 
 members of the international program committee. The conference 
 proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press and 
 will be accessible through IEEE Xplore and the IEEE Computer Society 
 Digital Library

 Post conference publication
 The authors of a set of selected papers will be invited to prepare a 
 substantially revised and extended version of their papers for 
 publication in a special journal issue. In previous years, selected 
 papers from EDOC have been published in Springer's Information Systems 
 Frontiers (ISF) (impact factor 1.596), Enterprise Information Systems 
 (EIS) (impact factor 0.786), and International Journal of Cooperative 
 Information Systems (IJCIS) (impact factor 1.433
