Topics
Goal: CAiSE’09 aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in the field of information systems engineering. CAiSE’09 invites submissions on the development, maintenance, and usage of information systems – and especially submissions dealing with information systems for business innovation. The topics of interests include, but are not restricted to:
Innovative platforms, architectures and technologies for IS engineering
• Service-oriented architecture
• Model-driven architecture
• Component based development
• Agent architecture
• Distributed, mobile-, and open architecture
• Innovative database technology
• Semantic web
• IS and ubiquitous technologies
Engineering of specific kinds of IS:
• eGovernment
• Enterprise systems (ERP, CRM, CRM)
• Data warehousing
• Workflow systems
• Knowledge management systems
• Content management systems
Methodologies and approaches for IS engineering
• Enterprise architecture and enterprise modelling
• Requirements engineering
• Business process modelling and management
• Simulation
• Agile methods
• Model, component, and software reuse
• IS reengineering
• Adaptive IS engineering approaches
• Service science
• Knowledge patterns and ontologies for IS
engineering
• IS in networked & virtual organizations
Quality concerns in IS engineering
• Knowledge, information, and data quality
• Quality of models and their languages
• Usability, security, trust, interoperability
Types of contributions: we invite four types of original and scientific papers:
o Formal and/or technical papers describe original solutions (theoretical, methodological or conceptual) in the field of IS engineering. A technical paper should clearly describe the situation or problem tackled, the relevant state of the art, the position or solution suggested and the potential - or, even better, the evaluated - benefits of the contribution.
o Evaluation papers evaluate existing problem situations or validate proposed solutions with scientific means, i.e. by empirical studies, experiments, case studies, simulations, formal analyses, mathematical proofs, etc. Scientific reflection on problems and practices in industry also falls into this category. The topic of the evaluation presented in the paper as well as its causal or logical properties must be clearly stated. The research method must be sound and appropriate.
o Experience papers present problems or challenges encountered in practice, relate success and failure stories, or report on industrial practice. The focus is on 'what' and on lessons learned, not on an in-depth analysis of 'why'. The practice must be clearly described and its context must be given. Readers should be able to draw conclusions for their own practice.
o Exploratory Papers can describe completely new research positions or approaches, in order to face to a generic situation arising because of new ICT tools or new kinds of activities or new IS challenges. They must describe precisely the situation and demonstrate how current methods, tools, ways of reasoning, or meta-models are inadequate. They must rigorously present their approach and demonstrate its pertinence and correctness to addressing the identified situation.
Publication
Publication: Accepted papers will be presented at CAiSE'09 and published in the conference proceedings, which is published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).
