The mission of the Association for Enterprise Integration (AFEI AFEI Association For Enterprise Integration ) is to help improve this situation through industry action and collaboration on key issues that enable net centric operations. The strength of America's information infrastructure must be leveraged to support and accelerate the transformation of government to a network-enabled capability. Policies and programs that make better use of secure, accurate and timely information can ensure that current transformation initiatives result in more effective and efficient collaboration and network centric operations. Innovation and experimentation with industry can accelerate these initiatives and reveal new and better applications of technology. To identify areas for future action, AFEI is hosting a conference on April 15-17 at the Sheraton Premiere Hotel in Vienna, Va.
