ICEIMT '97 is the second International Conference on Enterprise
Integration and Modeling Technology. Like the first, it is the main
event of a European-US initiative on building consensus in enterprise
engineering and integration - supported in Europe by Esprit and in the
USA by DOC/NIST. These proceedings contain papers presented at the
conference and at five international workshops preceding the conference.
The workshops addressed integration issues related to people and
organization, metrics and standardization, applications, fundamentals
and principles, and users and vendors. The conference papers present
points of view of users, vendors, and researchers, the current state of
research and development worldwide, and the needs to be identified and
summarized in project proposals.
