This book constitutes the proceedings of the Third International IFIP Working Conference on Enterprise Interoperability (IWEI 2011) , held in Stockholm, Sweden, March 23-24, 2011. The special theme chosen for IWEI 2011 was “Interoperability and Future Internet for Next-Generation Enterprises”. Thus special attention was given to how the interoperability needs of enterprises will be shaped and supported by the emerging Future Internet. The 15 papers presented in this volume were carefully selected from 47 submissions, based on a thorough reviewing process in which each paper was scrutinized by at least three experts in the field. The papers cover a wide spectrum of enterprise interoperability issues, ranging from foundational theories, frameworks, architectures, methods and guidelines to applications and case studies. This volume also includes the abstracts of the two invited talks on challenges for future networked enterprise systems.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 5th International IFIP Working Conference on Enterprise Interoperability (IWEI 2013), held in Enschede, The Netherlands, during March 27–28, 2013. The theme for IWEI 2013 was “Information Services and Processes for the Interoperable Economy and Society.” The 15 full papers presented in this volume were carefully selected from 35 submissions. The selection was based on a thorough review process, in which each paper was reviewed by at least three experts in the field. The papers are representative of the current research activities in the area of enterprise interoperability and are grouped into six sections: enterprise service interoperability, enterprise interoperability in sectors, interoperability methodology, interoperability for specific application types, strategic and tactical aspects of enterprise interoperability, and ontology-based interoperability. Two keynotes and an invited paper complete this volume.

One of the trends in the global market is the increasing collaboration among ent- prises. Constant changes in inter- and intra-organizational environments will persist in the future. Organizations have to flexibly and continuously react to (imminent) changes in markets and trading partners. Large companies but also SMEs have to cope with internal changes from both a technical (e.g., new information, communi- tion, software and hardware technologies) and an organizational point of view (e.g., merging, re-organization, virtual organizations, etc.). In this context, the competiti- ness of an enterprise depends not only on its internal performance to produce products and services, but also on its ability to seamlessly interoperate with other enterprises. External and internal collaborative work needs more interoperable solutions. The International Workshop on Enterprise Interoperability, IWEI, aims at identi- ing and discussing challenges and solutions with respect to enterprise interoperability, both at the business and the technical level. The workshop promotes the development of a scientific foundation for specifying, analyzing and validating interoperability solutions; an architectural framework for addressing interoperability problems from different viewpoints and at different levels of abstraction; a maturity model to eva- ate and rank interoperability solutions with respect to distinguished quality criteria; and a working set of practical solutions and tools that can be applied to interoperab- ity problems to date. IWEI is organized by the IFIP Working Group 5.8 on Enterprise Interoperability.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 6th International IFIP Working Conference on Enterprise Interoperability, IWEI 2015, held in Nîmes, France, in May 2015. The event was organized by the IFIP Working Group 5.8 on Enterprise Interoperability in co-operation with INTEROP-VLab and PGSO (Pole Grand Sud Ouest) from INTEROP-Vlab. The theme for IWEI 2015 was “From Enterprise Interoperability Modelling and Analysis to Enterprise Interoperability Engineering.” The nine full, four short, and two industrial papers presented in this volume were carefully selected from 20 submissions. The selection was based on a thorough review process, in which each paper was reviewed by at least three experts in the field. The papers are representative of the current research activities in the area of enterprise interoperability. They cover a wide spectrum of enterprise interoperability issues, including foundational theories, frameworks, architectures, methods and guidelines, and applications and case studies.

The Cloud Computing and Services Science book comprises a collection of the best papers presented at the International Conference on Cloud Computing and Services Science (CLOSER), which was held in The Netherlands in May 2011. In netting papers from the conference researchers and experts from all over the world explore a wide-ranging variety of the emerging Cloud Computing platforms, models, applications and enabling technologies. Further, in several papers the authors exemplify essential links to Services Science as service development abstraction, service innovation, and service engineering, acknowledging the service-orientation in most current IT-driven structures in the Cloud. The Cloud Computing and Services Science book is organized around important dimensions of technology trends in the domain of cloud computing in relation to a broad scientific understanding of modern services emerging from services science. The papers of this book are inspired by scholarly and practical work on the latest advances related to cloud infrastructure, operations, security, services, and management through the global network. This book includes several features that will be helpful, interesting, and inspirational to students, researchers as well as practitioners. Professionals and decision makers working in this field will also benefit from this book
