The IEEE EDOC Conference is the key annual event in enterprise computing. EDOC conferences address the full range of models, methodologies, and engineering technologies contributing to intra- and inter-enterprise distributed/cloud application systems. EDOC 2013 will be the 17th event in the series of conferences. Since 1997, EDOC has brought together leading computer science researchers, 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 emphasizes a holistic view of enterprise applications engineering and management, fostering integrated approaches that can address and relate processes, people and technology. Openness and distributed computing, based on services, components and objects are important themes. IEEE EDOC 2013 welcomes high quality scientific submissions as well as papers on enterprise computing industry experiences. This year, the main theme will be on the impacts of services and cloud to enterprise architecture. Expert panel discussions and keynotes will address hot topics and issues in the domain. IEEE EDOC 2013 will be held in Vancouver, BC, Canada from September 9th, 2013 to September 13th, 2013.
