CALL FOR PAPERS First International Workshop on Interoperability Solutions to Trust, Security, Policies and QoS for Enhanced Enterprise Systems (IS-TSPQ 2006) In the frame of Second International Conference on Interoperability for Enterprise Software and Applications (I-ESA) Bordeaux, France March 21st, 2006 http://istspq2006.cs.helsinki.fi/ ====================================================================== 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with the focus on interoperability and non-functional aspects, the IS-TSPQ 2006 workshop especially encourages original unpublished papers addressing the following areas: - modelling of enterprises and their collaboration; - interoperability architectures and models; - negotiation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.
