Track Description

The main goal of this session is to provide Supply chain and Enterprise models in action to anticipate next enterprise behaviour. The models are developed to represent the inside behaviour of enterprise at micro level (Supply chain) and macro level (Enterprise Modelling), the new challenge is to provide interoperability between these levels and also with the outside of the enterprise.

Session 1: Supply Chain Modeling and Control

Papers are invited in those areas, presenting original work and not previously published from academics and professionals. Topics for the conference include, but are not limited to:

· Extended Enterprise

· Supply chain management

· Supply chain network

· Supply chain optimization

· Supply chain security

· Factory Communication, Workflow and Database Management

· Industrial Applications of Intelligent Systems

· Holonic Manufacturing Systems

· Artificial Intelligence in Production and Logistics Management

· Modeling and control of processes, manufacturing and logistics

Session 2: Enterprise Modeling & Interoperability

Papers are invited in the areas of enterprise modeling and interoperability, presenting original work and not previously published from academics and professionals. Topics for the conference include, but are not limited to:

· Enterprise and networked enterprises Modeling Methods, Tools and frameworks (GRAI, UEML...)

· Manufacturing systems applications interoperability

· Discrete Event (e.g. DEVS) Enterprise Modeling

· Methods, Models, and Tools for intra and inter-organizations interoperability

· (Interoperable) enterprise Workflow Systems

· Requirements Engineering for Interoperable Enterprise Ontologies

· Management of Distributed Enterprise Models

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

· Architectures and platforms for interoperability

· Model Driven Architectures (MDA) and Model Driven Interoperability (MDI)

· Ontology-based semantic annotations and meta-data for models and data interoperability

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

Nevertheless different topics concerning Automation are welcome.

Key Dates

Submissions of Extended Abstracts: April 12, 2010

Notification of acceptance: May 10, 2010

Final Camera-Ready Submission and Early Registration: June 10, 2010

Authors' Guidelines (further information author’s instruction section)

FIRST SUBMISSION

Eextended abstracts (minimum 2 pages), full draft papers or other proposals should be submitted for the review process through the submission section by April 12, 2010.

The extended abstract or the full draft paper must contain title, authors, affiliations, addresses, main body and references.

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 May 10, 2010.

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 the 10^th of June 2010

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.
