CONFERENCE THEME
The special theme of the 24th
edition of CAiSE is Information Services. The notion of service
plays a more and more extensive role in the enterprise
development. Indeed, most of the enterprise management and
manufacture is based on the exchange of services: services to
the customers and/or citizens, services to support the
inter-organisational collaboration as well as services to
accomplish intra-organisational activities. Many organizations
and companies are sharing services with others, interfacing
services from others, or outsourcing their ICT resources to
various locations worldwide aided by the internet. For all of
them, the concept of service becomes a cornerstone of their
processes of collaboration, innovation and value creation. In
this context, the information systems (IS) engineering is moving
towards the adoption of service-driven architectures where
intra- and inter-organisational business activities are carried
out with the help of information services. Information services
are considered as a new means to deal with the complexity,
modularity and interoperability of the constantly growing IS.
Design and development of information services and information
service-driven architectures become key to the success of
organisations and their business. Therefore, the service-driven
IS domain becomes a new complex domain, which requires new
interdisciplinary approaches and new transdisciplinary ways of
thinking.
CAiSE’12 aims to bring together
researchers and practitioners in the field of information
systems engineering and invites papers that address all these
challenges. The topics of interests include, but are not
restricted to:
Methodologies and Approaches for IS
Engineering:
- Enterprise architecture and enterprise modelling
- Service science
- Requirements engineering
- Business process modelling and management
- Model, component, and software reuse
- IS reengineering
- Adaptive IS engineering approaches
- Knowledge patterns and ontologies for IS engineering
- IS engineering approaches for adaptive and flexible
information systems
- IS in networked & virtual organizations
- Method engineering
- Knowledge, information, and data quality
- Quality of models and of modelling languages
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
- Adaptive and context-aware IS
Engineering of specific kinds of
IS:
- eGovernment
- Enterprise applications (ERP, CRM)
- Data warehousing and business intelligence
- Workflow systems
- Knowledge management systems
- Content management systems
- Sustainability-aware IS

AUTHOR GUIDELINES
We invite four types of original
and scientific papers:
- 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.
- Empirical 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.
- 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.
- 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.
**********************************************************************
SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
Papers should be submitted in PDF
format. The results described must be unpublished and must not
be under review elsewhere. Submissions must conform to
Springer's LNCS format and should not exceed 15 pages, including
all text, figures, references and appendices. Submissions not
conforming to the LNCS format, exceeding 15 pages, or being
obviously out of the scope of the conference, will be rejected
without review. Information about the Springer LNCS format can
be found at
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.Three
to five keywords characterising the paper should be indicated at
the end of the abstract. The type of paper (technical/empirical
evaluation/experience/exploratory paper) should be indicated in
the submission.
Accepted papers will be presented at CAiSE'12 and published in
the conference proceedings, which are published in the Springer
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).
