                          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

======================================================================

  SCOPE:

With the increasing demands from the networked economy and government= , interoperability has become a strategic factor for
enterprise softwar= e and applications. In the context of collaboration between enterprises and their business services, several
interoperability issues stem fro= m non-functional aspects (NFA). The non-functional aspects are introduc= ed to provide separation
of concerns between the main functions of enter= prise software and the supporting themes that cause modification of the mai= n
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 polic= ies, and trust.

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

The IS-TSPQ 2006 workshop is hosted by the Second International Confe= rence 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 aspe= cts, 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unpublished = papers addressing the following areas: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 s= upport
      interoperability;
    - challenges from the strategic business needs;
    - alignment of business needs and computing support; and
    - linking the above to trusted, dependable infrastructure solutio= ns.

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

    - Trust and Trust Models, Reputation, and Privacy on data integra= tion
      and inter-enterprise computing;
    - eContracting, contract knowledge management, business commitmen= t
      monitoring and fulfilment, and the ontologies of contracts;
    - Non-Functional Aspects, Quality of Service (QoS), Quality Attri= butes;
    - 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 foll= ow the guidelines given at 
http://www.hermes-science.com/word/eng-guidelines.doc.
Authors are requested to submit their manuscripts electronically in P= DF  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 f= iles only.
