Call for Papers: IEEE EDOC 2015 - The 19th IEEE International EDOC Conference =============================================================================
EDOC 2015 - Adelaide, Australia
September 21-25, 2015
https://edoc2015.unisa.edu.au


IEEE EDOC 2015 is the nineteenth conference in a series that provides the key forum for researchers and practitioners in the field of enterprise computing. EDOC conferences address the full range of models, methodologies, and engineering technologies contributing to intra- and inter-enterprise application systems. 
Since 1997, EDOC has brought together leading computer scientists, IT decision makers, enterprise architects, solution designers, and practitioners to discuss enterprise computing challenges, models and solutions from the perspectives of academia, industry, and government. The IEEE EDOC conference series emphasizes a holistic view on enterprise applications engineering and management, fostering integrated approaches that address and relate business processes, people and technology. 

EDOC 2015 welcomes high quality scientific submissions as well as experience papers on enterprise computing from industry.The main theme of EDOC 2015 is "Leveraging social phenomena and Big Data in the enterprise of the future" and seeks to explore innovative approaches synthesizing concepts of
(1) data science, (2) enterprise computing and (3) social networks.

Expert panel discussions and keynotes will address current topics and issues in this domain.

Submission Guidelines
=====================

Two types of paper submissions are solicited:

a. scientific research papers, and
b. industry experience reports or case studies.

Scientific research papers should describe original results not been accepted or submitted for publication elsewhere. 
These papers will be evaluated based on their scientific and technical contribution, originality, and relevance. 
In turn, industry experience reports should provide new insights gained in case studies or when applying enterprise computing technology in practice; industry experience reports shall further provide important feedback about the state of practice and pose challenges for researchers. These papers will be evaluated based on their appropriateness, significance, and clarity.

Submissions should be full papers with 8-10 pages. All submissions must be made in PDF format and comply with the IEEE Computer Society Conference Proceedings Format Guidelines. They should be made via the electronic submission system of the EDOC Conference Management system hosted on EasyChair: 

http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=edoc2015

All papers will be refereed by at least 3 members of the international program committee. All presented papers in the conference will be published in the proceedings of the conference and submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.

Post Conference Publication
===========================

The authors of a collection of selected papers will be invited to prepare a substantially revised and extended version of their papers for publication in a special journal issue. The journal will be announced in due course.
