The new organizational paradigms of global cooperation and
collaboration require new ways and means for their support.
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) can and will play a
significant role in this support. However, the many currently
available and seemingly conflicting solutions, the confusing
terminology, the lack of business justification, and last but not
least the insufficient understanding of the technology by the end
user community has significantly hampered the large scale
application of the relevant ICT support and thereby the acceptance
of the new paradigms.
Many of these issues have been addressed in the workshops of the
international initiative on Enterprise Inter- and
Intra-Organizational Integration, which has been supported by the
European IST Programme and NIST. The main subjects of the
initiative: relations between knowledge management and business
process modeling, interoperability of business processes and
process models, enterprise engineering and integration, and
representation of process models. Ontologies and agent technologies
- the latter with their relations to ontologies and models - have
been further subjects of discussions in several workshops.
Results of the initiative are reported in this volume, which
comprises the proceedings of the International Conference on
Enterprise Integration and Modeling Technology (ICEIMT'02). The
conference was sponsored by the International Federation for
Information Processing (IFIP) and held in Valencia, Spain in April
2002.
Enterprise Inter- and Intra-Organizational Integration: Building
International Consensus provides not only a wealth of information
on the state of the art of the subjects of theinitiative, it also
identifies opportunities for research and development. Potential
projects are identified in the work group reports and some of those
will be taken up by organizations involved.
