(http://www.em2i.org/2010/)
in conjunction with 2010 IEEE International Conference on e-Business Engineering (ICEBE 2010) (http://conferences.computer.org/icebe/2010/)
The 2010 International Workshop on E-Marketplace Integration & Interoperability (EM2I’10) is a venue for presenting state-of-the-art research and development achievements in the design, introduction, and use of integration technology for e-marketplaces that affect business interoperability between enterprise information systems, within supply chains, and between fragmented e-marketplaces. EM2I’10 is a research forum to achieve a globally and semantically interoperable common business information space where consumers, enterprises and governments can collaboratively work together in mutually-beneficial electronic and virtual markets.
