The CEC-PAW workshop encourages original research papers related, but not limited, to the main themes and preliminary research questions

• Decomposition of large projects into “chunks” that can be dynamically assigned to different organizations for execution.
• Operational agility in both setting up new operations to accomplish a shared business objective as well as responding to unpredictable events during execution.
• Governance, safeguarding and securing management and coordination across the collaborating enterprises and their providers and suppliers.
• Deep visibility into all aspects of work and process across an ecosystem of partners, providers, and suppliers. Metrics, sensors, and E2E monitoring that span both the horizontal cross-enterprise collaboration and the vertical stacks of providers and suppliers
• Models, methods, formalisms, and languages that focus on the control and coordination of cross-enterprise collaboration in different domains
• Extending SOA formalisms, encapsulations, and constructs to facilitate the definition, dispatch, and orchestration of human Work as a Service (WaaS) that can be carried out interchangeably by qualified organizations.
• IT, middleware, systems, tools, and framework that support cross-enterprise collaboration, and their relationship with current enterprise or domain tools and IT.
• Dynamic flow engines that support cross-enterprise collaboration models and patterns to provide the flexibility required for runtime adaptation and evolution.
• Context, data, and knowledge management as required for managing and coordinating work across organizations and their interrelationship with the domain data, tools, and processes.
• The role of people and other resources in the management and coordination of cross-enterprise work, such as the sensible automation of human action, “human exception handling”, utilization of Crowd Sourcing, cloud- and social-computing paradigms for the coordination and execution of work that spans across organizational boundaries.
• Centralized and distributed models of coordination and optimization of the doing of work, such as the application of centralized Command and Control centers in Smart Cities.
• Non-functional aspects such as trust and reputation, quality, conflict resolution, orderly collaboration rollbacks and termination in cross-organizational ecosystems definable in service-level agreements.
• Format and Program and Review Process

The goal of this workshop is to foster research in the emerging area of cross enterprise collaboration. We invite researchers and practitioners from a wide range of disciplines to exchange ideas and collaboratively explore different aspects of this area. A keynote address will be followed by presentations. The workshop will end with a discussion aimed at identifying core research challenges alongside promising approaches and concrete next steps for future work. The outcome will be published as a Manifesto in the workshop post-proceedings alongside the papers.

Submissions will be evaluated according to the relevance and originality of the work and to their ability to generate discussions among the participants of the workshop.
