This volume contains the proceedings of the 17th International EDOC Conference that took place in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, from September 9th to 13th, 2013.

The main theme of EDOC 2013 was the enterprise of the future in a world of cloud, social and big data. Distributed and cloud computing are fundamental pillars of this theme enabling collaborations based on service offerings, delivery and consumption within an enterprise and across enterprise borders. Over the years, EDOC has brought together leading computer science researchers, IT decision makers, enterprise architects, solution designers, and practitioners to discuss solutions for resolving important enterprise computing challenges. The IEEE EDOC conference promotes a holistic view on enterprise application engineering and management, considering processes, people and technology that collaborate in highly distributed and agile environments.
