The I-ESA'14 Conference is being organized by the École des Mines d'Albi-Carmaux and INTEROP-VLab (International Virtual Laboratory for Enterprise Interoperability) from the 24th of March 2014 to the 28th of March 2014 in Albi (France).

Context

Enterprises (of any kind) embedded in today's economic environment are deeply dependent from their ability to take part into collaborations. Consequently, it is strongly required for them to be able to take part into emerging, potentially opportunistically, collaborative networks. The concept of “interoperability” has been defined by INTEROP-VLab as “The ability of an enterprise system or application to interact with others at a low cost in a flexible approach”. Consequently, interoperability of organizations appears as a major issue to succeed in building on the fly emerging enterprise networks.

Objective

I-ESA brings together the world's leading researchers and practitioners in the area of enterprise interoperability: it is a unique forum for the exchange of visions, ideas, research results and industrial experiences, dealing with a wealth of interoperability research subjects for business, enterprise applications and software.

The industry will find at I-ESA'14 an outstanding opportunity to exchange experience and problems on business interoperability in their daily operations. I-ESA series of conferences have become a forum where industry and research worlds meet and share experience, ideas and problems on different interoperability aspects.

I-ESA´14 is definitely "the event" for those who want to know the future, the forefront of research and the industry expertise/viewpoint in this very important domain of Enterprise Interoperability.

Publication

Additionally to the regular proceedings of I-ESA (“Enterprise Interoperability” books series published by Springer), several international journals (WoS) have been contacted in order to define special issues or paper selections from I-ESA'14 scientific production. The global objective is to cover the thematic structure of I-ESA'14 with such opportunities of publication in order to value high-level presented papers.
