The proceedings of the 5th International IFIP Working Conference on Enterprise Interoperability (IWEI 2013) explore the challenges and solutions for achieving interoperability within enterprise systems, particularly in the context of a service-oriented ecosystem. The conference papers presented here address a range of topics critical to modern business operations, including the design, development, and application of interoperable enterprise solutions. Authors examine various frameworks, methodologies, and real-world case studies that demonstrate advancements in enterprise interoperability research and its practical implementation.

This collection of papers from the IWEI 2013 conference offers a snapshot of the research landscape in enterprise interoperability during that period. The focus on service-oriented ecosystems suggests a technical and academic audience interested in the theoretical underpinnings and practical applications of system integration. The depth and breadth of topics covered indicate a resource for researchers and practitioners seeking to understand the state-of-the-art in enterprise interoperability.
