4. Brief Description of the Symposium
- Enterprise networks and telecommunication information infrastructure are now facing dramatic changes due to evolution of technologies, such as IP, Mobile wireless, open application programming interfaces, and distributed computing environments. Virtual Enterprises use the Internet based e-business infrastructure to dynamically form, start, operate, or dismantle organizations depending on business requirements. All these activities are performed very quickly over the network by electronic means. The evolving communication infrastructure (wired, wireless, static and mobile) and computing infrastructure (operating systems, databases, middleware) are constantly evolving to meet the requirements of virtual enterprises. They offer a number of challenges in implementing business level contracts and processes in software.
- A range of distributed software services are now evolving to support to meet these challenges. These software services combine with the emerging communications and computing technologies to enhance the service infrastructure for virtual enterprises. Thanks to the dwindling costs of networking, these services are also being used for SOHO (Small Office Home Office) and Virtual Home Environments. Researchers are now working on developing futuristic nomadic computing environments that will combine the flexibility of time along with the flexibility of location offered by virtual enterprises (anywhere anytime).
- The symposium aims to bring together engineers, scientists, as well as industry professionals actively involved in related issues including Virtual Enterprise(VE) services, infrastructure for VE, global service portability (Virtual Home Environments), Mobile Customer Premises Environments/Networks (MCPE/MCPN)), Pervasive Computing, Mobile-Commerce, Open Architectures, APIs, service integration in Mobile/Fixed Internet, technology for service Mobility/Portability, application for VE, etc., and to discuss the above issues.
- Hence the scope of this symposium is fairly broad. Papers are invited in both theoretical and practical (including case studies and experiences) perspectives of the analysis, design, implementation and evaluation of various types of service infrastructure for virtual enterprises.
