[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement]

First EDOC International Workshop on 
VOCABULARIES, ONTOLOGIES AND RULES FOR THE ENTERPRISE (VORTE 2005)
http://arch.cs.utwente.nl/~guizzard/VORTE05/
 
as part of the
The 9th International IEEE Enterprise
Distributed Object Computing Conference
19-23 September 2005, Enschede, The netherlands

THEMES AND GOALS
 
Vocabularies, ontologies and rules are key components of a model-driven approach to enterprise computing in a networked economy. VORTE is the first of what 
we hope will be many workshops that bring together researchers and practitioners in areas such as philosophical ontology, enterprise modeling, information 
systems, semantic web, MDA (Model-Driven Architecture) and business rules to discuss the role of foundational and lightweight ontologies in the development 
of conceptual tools for enterprise computing. 
 
The Workshop Encourages Submissions on topics including 
(but not limited to) the following: 
 
* Business Vocabularies
* Business Rules
* Enterprise Integration and Interoperability
* Ontological Foundations for Conceptual Modeling and Metamodeling
* Vocabularies and Foundational Ontologies for Enterprise Information Systems
* Enterprise Modeling and Simulation 
* Foundations for the Model-Driven Architecture (MDA)
* Enterprise Computing and the Semantic Web
* Enterprise Reference Architectures 
* Enterprise Domain Engineering

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
