Author Description

<p>In a fast changing global economy governed by Enterprise Services and the Future Internet, enterprises and virtual factories will self-organize in distributed, interoperable, innovation Ecosystems where the issues of Enterprise Interoperability need to be solved in a multi-view of information, services and processes throughout Enterprise Networks.<br> The book constitutes the proceedings of five workshops co- located with the Fifth IFIP Working Conference IWEI 2013. It contains the presented peer reviewed papers and summaries of the workshop discussions.<br> Complementing the IWEI Conference program, the workshops aimed at exploiting new issues, challenges and solutions for Enterprise Interoperability and Manufacturing Eco Systems. The scope of the workshops spanned over a range of interoperability issues in Service Science and innovation, Model Driven Service Engineering Architectures, Service Modelling Languages, reference ontology for manufacturing, Case studies and tools particularly for SMEs, Business – IT alignment and related Standardization.<br></p><p>Contents<br></p><p>1 – Model Driven Services Engineering Architecture (MDSEA): A Result of MSEE Project<br> An Architecture for Service Modelling in Servitization Context: MDSEA, Y.
