Engineering e-Business Systems
17-18th July 2001
hosted by
Enterprises now rely on successful e-busines systems to implement their business strategies. A smart business idea converted into a global internet service may conquer the business world swiftly and reconfigure a whole business sector. Take Napster or B2B-marketplaces as examples. Ideally, e-business systems should be reliable, secure, scalable and adaptable. They should meet business needs and be delivered and evolved on a timescale that allows business opportunities to be fully exploited.
The premise of this workshop is that systems fall far short of this ideal. Its goals are twofold: to identify the problems underlying this premise, and explore potential solutions. To this end, the workshop brings together distinguished industrial and academic speakers, to present their experiences and ideas and to lead discussion amongst workshop participants.
