Second International Workshop on Cross Enterprise Collaboration (CEC)
Workshop Themes
The workshop theme and preliminary research questions for which we encourage submissions include, but are not limited to:
- Models, methods, formalisms, and languages that focus on the control and coordination of cross enterprise collaboration in different domains
- Dynamic flow engines that can support such models and provide the flexibility required for runtime adaptation and evolution
- Adaptation, versioning and evolution of process, work, collaborating organizations and collaboration patterns
- Metrics, sensors, and E2E monitoring that span both the horizontal cross-enterprise collaboration and the vertical stacks of providers and suppliers
- Governance, safeguarding and securing management and coordination across the collaborating enterprises and their providers and suppliers
- Non-functional aspects such as trust and reputation, quality, and so on, in cross-organizational ecosystems definable in service-level agreements
- Extending SOA formalisms and constructs to facilitate the definition, dispatch, and orchestration of work as services that can be carried out by and for organizations
- Context, data, and knowledge management as required for managing and coordinating work across organizations and their interrelationship with the domain data, tools, and processes
- Processes that are intended to support cross enterprise collaboration and their relationship to domain specific processes
- IT, middleware, systems, tools, and framework that support cross enterprise collaboration, and their relationship with current enterprise or domain specific tools and IT
- The role of people and other resources in the management and coordination of cross-enterprise work
- Utilization of Crowd Sourcing and social computing paradigms for the coordination and/or execution of work and business processes that span across organizational boundaries
- The application of centralized Command and Control centers that act as Hubs to facilitate cross-organization collaboration
- What is cross enterprise collaboration and what does it mean for organizations to collaborate? How does it differ from people or team collaborations?
- Use cases and examples of successful cross-organization collaborations in different domains
