Second International Workshop on Service oriented Enterprise Architecture 
for Enterprise Engineering (SoEA4EE)

in conjunction with EDOC 2010
October 25th, 2010, Vitória, Brazil
http://edoc2010.inf.ufes.br/

SCOPE:

There is a more and more common understanding, that not the ownership of 
information technology resources but their management is the foundation for 
sustainable competitive advantage.  According to Ross et al., smart 
companies define how they (will) do business (using an operating model) and 
design the processes and infrastructure critical to their current and 
future operations (enterprise architecture), which guide the evolution of 
their foundation for execution. More and more companies would like their 
existing technology to enable their future capabilities. This capability to 
exploit the foundation, embedding new initiatives to make it stronger and 
using it as competitive weapon to develop new business opportunities, is 
estimated as 5% of companies.

Enterprise engineering is the application of engineering principles to the 
design, restructuring and operation of enterprises and their cooperation 
with other enterprises. It allows deriving the Enterprise Architecture from 
the enterprise goals and strategy and aligning it with the enterprise 
resources. Enterprise architecture  aims (i) to understand the interactions 
and all kind of articulations between business and information technology, 
(ii) to define how to align business components and IT components, as well 
as business strategy and IT strategy, and more particularly (iii) to 
develop and support a common understanding and sharing of those purposes of 
interest. Enterprise architecture is used to map the enterprise goal and 
strategy to the enterprise’s resources (actors, assets, IT supports) and to 
take into account the evolution of this mapping. It also provides 
documentation on the assignment of enterprise resources to the enterprise 
goals and strategy. To this end, advantageous patterns (best practices) can 
be reused and alternative design solutions can be compared. Furthermore, 
enterprise architecture may be checked for compliance with laws, regulatory 
rules etc. Finally, enterprise architecture facilitates the measurement the 
performance and efficiency of the resources used.

Service is the most important paradigm for the organisation of enterprises 
and the cooperation with other enterprises in order to achieve competitive 
advantage. Therefore it does not surprise, that leading enterprises in the 
U.S. derive more than 50% of their revenues from services. Through 
services, enterprises stabilize their revenues. This applies not only to 
pure services such as transportation but also for material products that 
are augmented by services such as maintenance, consulting and training. By 
exchanging services within partnerships, enterprises are able to combine 
their competences and thus provide solutions to the customer not possible 
for the single enterprise. Moreover meta-services (services acting upon 
other services) highly reduce the administrative overhead of enterprise 
services by encapsulating administrative functionalities as a service.

Furthermore, due to the technical advancements, e.g. Software as a Service, 
Cloud Computing and Service-Oriented-Architectures for information systems 
(SOA), enterprises are able to apply service-orientation to new areas. 
Service-oriented enterprise engineering further develops the enterprise 
engineering approach selecting service as governing paradigm. The 
enterprise goals and strategies are mapped to a service-oriented enterprise 
architecture.

Service-oriented enterprise architecture differentiates four layers of 
services. Thus, its scope is much broader than the scope of the 
service-oriented architecture (SOA) and also includes services not 
accessible through software such as business and infrastructure services. 
Services of different layers may be interconnected in service (value) nets 
to provide higher level services.
1. Business services are services, which directly support business 
processes. Business processes can also be developed dynamically 
(on-the-fly) using business services which are available in a repository 
for a given business domain. An example is call-centre services provided by 
an external service provider.
2. Software services exist as two types: (i) human-oriented applications, 
which are provided as Software as a Service, (ii) application services 
which are part of so-called Service-Oriented-Architectures that are a 
popular paradigm for creating enterprise software.
3. Platform Services provide support of the development of applications. 
They provide services for the execution of applications, middleware stacks, 
web servers etc.
4. Infrastructure services are more hardware-flavoured services, which are 
provided using computers. They may have a human addressee but contain many 
infrastructure services such as providing computing power, storage etc. 
They are an important topic in management and practice collections such as 
ITILV3 or standards such as ISO/IEC 20000 have gained a high popularity.



GOALS:

The goal of the workshop is to develop concepts and methods to assist the 
engineering and the management of service-oriented enterprise architectures 
and the software systems supporting them. Especially three themes of 
research shall be pursued:
1.      Alignment of the enterprise goals and strategies with the 
service-oriented enterprise architecture
2.      Design of the service-oriented enterprise architecture
3.      Mapping of service-oriented enterprise architecture to enterprise 
resources



TOPICS OF DISCUSSION:

During the workshop we will discuss the following topics:

1. Alignment of the enterprise goals and strategy with the service-oriented 
enterprise architecture
- Which interdependencies exist between services and business strategy?
- Which concepts and methods are necessary to align services with the 
business strategy?
- Which new potentials to reengineer business processes are created by 
services?
- How are non-functional requirements derived from enterprise goals and 
strategy?
- How are services aligned with non-functional requirements?
- How are services aligned with compliance requirements?
- Are the compliance and governance requirements enforced using 
service-oriented enterprise architectures?


2. Design of service-oriented enterprise architecture
- How are business, software, platform and infrastructure services defined?
- How are business services assigned to business processes?
- How are business services assigned to non-functional requirements?
- How are service (value) nets -consisting of business, software, platform 
and infrastructure services- created?
- How does service-oriented enterprise architecture, interrelate with cloud 
computing?
- How do meta-services differentiate for business, software, platform and 
infrastructure services?
- How are appropriate meta-services designed?
- Which phases do the lifecycle of business, software, platform and 
infrastructure services contain?
- How can the fulfilment of non-functional requirements be monitored?
- Which benchmarks and key performance indicators should be applied to 
services?
- Which approaches exist for the continual improvement of services?


3. Mapping of service-oriented enterprise architecture to enterprise resources
- Which resources are relevant for Service-oriented Enterprise Architecture?
- How are services mapped to enterprise resources?
- Which approaches exist to map services to resources?
- Which information system architectures are adequate for services?
- How can non-functional requirements be mapped to capacity planning of 
resources?



SUBMISSION:

Full papers (8-10 pages in the IEEE-CS format) describing mature results 
are sought. In addition, short papers (4 pages in the IEEE-CS format) may 
be submitted to facilitate discussion of recent research results and 
ongoing projects. The paper selection will be based upon the relevance of a 
paper to the main topics, as well as upon its quality and potential to 
generate relevant discussion. All contributions will be peer reviewed based 
on the complete version, being full or short.

All papers published in the EDOC 2010 workshop proceedings must be in the 
IEEE Computer Society format 
(http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting). It is strongly 
recommended that all papers are already in this format when they are first 
submitted to workshops. This gives precise picture of the paper length and 
avoids rework if the paper is accepted.

Please submit your paper to Selmin.Nurcan. at univ-paris1.fr

Proceedings of EDOC 2010 workshops will be published after the conference 
as ePub by the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services (CPS) 
and included in the IEEE Computer Society Digital Library (CSDL) and the 
IEEE Xplore. There will be one electronic volume containing proceedings 
from all workshops.

At least one author of each accepted workshop paper will have to register 
for the whole EDOC 2010 conference and attend the workshop to present the 
paper. Analogously to previous years, there will be no workshop-only 
registration at EDOC 2010. If a paper is not presented in the workshop, it 
will be removed from the workshop proceedings published in the IEEE Xplore 
digital library.


EXPECTED RESULTS:

All papers will be published in the workshop wiki (www.soea4ee.org) before 
the workshop, so that everybody can learn about the problems that are 
important for other participants. The workshop will consist of long and 
short paper presentations, brainstorming sessions and discussions. A 
workshop report will be created collaboratively using the workshop wiki.
