Enterprise Applications are mission critical for organizations. 
Currently there are several initiatives that see enterprise 
application integration as their natural playground, like Model 
Driven Architecture and Service Oriented Architecture. Now is the 
time to investigate how these approaches can provide added value. 
This workshop welcomes contributions that identify a problem or 
issue in enterprise application architecture and propose and 
evaluate a solution. We want to discuss in how far proposed 
solutions are aware of the state-of-the-art database technology.

Applications, operating systems, database systems, hardware 
architecture and system administration concepts must be orchestrated 
to yield an optimized system architecture that tackles performance, 
stability, security, maintainability, and eventually total cost of 
ownership. In practice, it is always a holistic view that is needed 
- it is known that system design approaches that overemphasize one 
of the software or hardware architecture aspects are likely to fail. 
In this workshop we want to look for conceptual underpinnings of 
enterprise application architecture. We are interested in 
contributions that provide scalable solutions for highly available 
systems.
