· Discrete Event (e.g. Petri Nets, State charts, DEVS) Service Modeling

· Services models for intra and inter-organizations interoperability

· Enterprise Workflow Systems for Service Delivery

· Engineering Requirements for Interoperable Enterprise Ontologies

· Distributed Enterprise Services Modeling and Simulation

· Standard for Synchronization and Interoperability of Distributed Enterprise Models (e.g. HLA)

· Architectures and Platforms for Providing Services

· Ontology-based Semantic Annotations and Meta-Data for Models for Services Interoperability

· Reasoning methods and tools for Service model transformation (MDA, MDI)

Nevertheless different topics concerning service modeling are welcome.

Each extended abstract or full draft paper will be reviewed by at least two members of the International Program Committee taking into consideration scientific quality, originality and relevance. Only original papers, written in English will be accepted.

The extended abstract or the full draft paper should be prepared by following the final paper formatting. However any type of paper formatting can be accepted for the first submission.

NOTIFICATION OF ACCEPTANCE

Notification of acceptance will be sent by June 10, 2011.

CAMERA READY PAPER SUBMISSION

The International Program Committee will accept two types of camera ready papers: extended paper (10 pages, 2 columns); regular paper (6 pages, 2 columns) both for regular and special sessions.

The camera ready paper must adhere to the conference template. The .dot file contains the complete instructions for preparing a camera ready copy for the Proceedings. The final version of the paper must be a PDF file.

Your camera ready paper (extended paper or regular paper) in PDF format must be submitted by using the submission section before July 20, 2011 (Deadline Extended)

The page limit for manuscripts is ten (10) pages (included in the author registration fee). Additional pages will require an additional fee.

If your work must be cleared or approved before publication by your institution, company, or governmental agency, please be sure that process will be completed by the due date above or we will not be able to include it in the CD Conference Proceedings.
