<p class="MsoNormal">IEEE EDOC 2014 is the eighteenth conference in a series that provides the
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">key forum for researchers and practitioners in the field of enterprise
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">computing. EDOC conferences address the full range of models,
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">methodologies, and engineering technologies contributing to intra- and
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">inter-enterprise application systems. Since 1997, EDOC has brought
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">together leading computer scientists, IT decision makers, enterprise
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">architects, solution designers, and practitioners to discuss enterprise
