This book features four workshops from the INTEROP-ESA international conference, organized by the INTEROP NoE (Interoperability Research for Networked Enterprises Applications and Software Network of Excellence). It highlights key topics related to interoperability of enterprise applications and software.

The four workshops cover: 1. Enterprise Integration, Interoperability and Networking – identifies issues on Applications Interoperability for Enterprise Integration that will be developed further in future research works. 2. Web Services and Interoperability – explores various aspects of web services and their benefits to the interoperability problem. 3. Interoperability Standards – Implementation, Dynamics and Impact – organized by the No-Rest STREP European project, is aimed at getting a better understanding of the impact ICT standards have on networked organizations. 4. Towards Interoperability of Enterprise Heterogeneous Enterprise Networks and their Applications: From Industries Needs to ATHENA Requirements – organized by the ATHENA IP European project, explores the industry’s current short and long term requirements concerning interoperability of enterprise software and applications.
