  SCOPE:

With the increasing demands from the networked economy and government,
interoperability has become a strategic factor for enterprise software
and applications. In the context of collaboration between enterprises
and their business services, several interoperability issues stem from
non-functional aspects (NFA). The non-functional aspects are introduced
to provide separation of concerns between the main functions of enterprise
software and the supporting themes that cause modification of the main
functional behaviour. Traditionally, this is applied to supporting
technology that addresses, for example, quality of service, security and
dependability, but it may also involve business value, business policies,
and trust.

The IS-TSPQ 2006 workshop objective is to explore architectures, models,
systems, and utilization for non-functional aspects, especially addressing
the new requirements on interoperability. Space is given for building
understanding of the non-functional aspects themselves and improve the
shared understanding of future solutions for non-functional aspect
interoperability.

The IS-TSPQ 2006 workshop is hosted by the Second International Conference
on Interoperability of Enterprise Software and Applications (I-ESA)
organized by the INTEROP NoE. The workshop aims to bring together
researchers and practitioners.


  Topics:

In keeping with the focus on interoperability and non-functional aspects,
the IS-TSPQ 2006 workshop especially encourages original unpublished papers
addressing the following areas:

    - modelling of enterprises and their collaboration;
    - interoperability architectures and models;
    - negotiation mechanisms and representations of agreements that support
      interoperability;
    - challenges from the strategic business needs;
    - alignment of business needs and computing support; and
    - linking the above to trusted, dependable infrastructure solutions.

General papers on these topics will be welcome, but it would be particularly
valuable for papers to relate to the target domains of:

    - Trust and Trust Models, Reputation, and Privacy on data integration
      and inter-enterprise computing;
    - eContracting, contract knowledge management, business commitment
      monitoring and fulfilment, and the ontologies of contracts;
    - Non-Functional Aspects, Quality of Service (QoS), Quality Attributes;
    - Information Security, Performance, Reliability and Availability;
    - Digital Rights and Policy Management, Compliance, regulatory
      environments, corporate governance, and Policy Frameworks; and
    - Business Value, Business processes, Risk Management and Asset
      Management.


  SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

Submissions must be no longer than 12 pages in length and should follow
the guidelines given at
http://www.hermes-science.com/word/eng-guidelines.doc.
Authors are requested to submit their manuscripts electronically in PDF
format
using the paper submission tool available at the workshop web page.

The workshop proceedings will be published after the conference (and will be
sent by post to the registered participants). Papers will be included in the
proceedings only if they are presented by one of the authors at the
workshop.
The final, cameraready papers are accepted by the publisher as Word files
only.
