Workshop Background and Goals  

It is the aim of this workshop to stimulate the exchange of ideas and experiences of practitioners, researchers, and engineers working in the area of modelling, simulation, verification and validation of software for enterprise information systems (EIS). We welcome papers, both theoretical and practical, from all areas related to those aspects of software development and evaluation that can increase the confidence in the correctness of EIS systems, such as:

- Business process modelling
- Information systems modelling
- Organizational modelling
- Business process simulation
- Organizational simulation
- Workflow management
- Modelling guidelines helping practitioners
- Integration of different modelling and specification techniques
- Large scale component-based development
- Combination of verification systems
- Reuse of specifications and proofs
- Quality control and assurance
- Software architecture
- Quality attributes
- Dependability
- Case studies
- Use cases
- Simulation
- Testing
- Requirements
- Formal methods
- Model checking
- Process algebra
- Petri nets
- Deductive systems
- Finite-state abstractions of infinite-state systems
- Safety critical systems
- Consistency checking and data integrity
- Notation standards (UML, XML, …)

 
We will aim at including reports on methods currently used in industry for EIS modelling, simulation, verification and validation as well as existing approaches in academic environments, hoping that both practitioners and researchers will benefit from such a mixture of presentations.

Three main categories of submissions/presentations will be considered: a) regular papers, b) work in progress by Ph.D. students, and c) tool demonstrations. All submissions falling in any of these categories have to follow the procedure explained below under the heading “Submission of Papers”. Please indicate clearly which of the three categories of papers your submission belongs to.
 

Format of the Workshop  

The workshop will consist of oral presentations of papers submitted in advance, which will be peer-reviewed. The proceedings of the workshop will be published in the form of a book by INSTICC Press. 

During the event keynotes will be given by invited speakers. After the event, as in previous years, contacts will be made with an International Journal to publish a selection of best papers.

Invited Speakers

- Klaus Havelund, NASA Ames Research Center (USA)
- Xudong He, Florida International University (USA)

Submission of Papers

Prospective authors are invited to submit papers for oral presentation in any of the areas listed above. Only papers in English will be accepted. The length of the paper should not exceed 10 pages. Instructions for preparing the manuscript (in Word and Latex format) are available at the ICEIS web site. Submissions not complying with the formatting guidelines will not be evaluated. PDF/PS//RTF versions of the manuscript should be submitted electronically by using the facilities provided by ICEIS web-based paper submission procedure. In addition, to avoid lost papers, an email must be sent to all workshop chairs including: category of paper, title, authors' affiliation, and an abstract of the paper submitted.

Important Dates  

Full paper submission: February 15, 2005
Author notification: March 8, 2005
Camera-ready paper submission: March 18, 2005
