Last Call for Papers

CAiSE'02 14th Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering Toronto, Canada 27 - 31 May, 2002

http://www.cs.toronto.edu/caise02

Conference Aims and Objectives

Since the late 1980's, CAiSE conferences have provided a forum for presentation and exchange of research results and practical experiences within the field of Information Systems Engineering. CAiSE'02 will be held for the first time outside Europe, in the cosmopolitan city of Toronto. Toronto has been called the most multicultural city in the world, hosting more than 50,000 new immigrants per year, and boasting more than 100 languages spoken by some of its citizens. As in previous years, the conference programme will feature invited talks, technical paper presentations, workshops, tutorials and panel discussions.

Conference Theme

Web-based systems have become the status quo in information systems engineering practice. This change to the nature of information systems poses significant challenges to the research community, such as faster time-to-market, increased concerns for security and performance, open and evolving software architectures, dynamically composed electronic services, and more. The main theme of the CAiSE'02 conference will be "Web-Based Information Systems" and the conference programme will focus on both technologies and methodologies for building them.

Relevant Topics

Methodologies and Models for IS Requirements Engineering for IS Supply Chain Management Infrastructure for Internet Business Models Data Warehousing & OLAP E-government Information Quality Privacy and Security, Web Content Management and Distribution Workflow Systems Knowledge Management Business Process Models and Engineering Metadata and Ontologies Cooperative Work Support Novel Database Technologies Distributed, Web and Mobile Architectures OO and Agent-Oriented Technologies and their Applications to IS Development XML and IS Languages and Protocols for IS Component-ware and IS IS Reengineering Advanced Application Domains Validation and Evaluation of IS Models

Call for Papers

Papers are solicited either in the area of the general conference theme or relevant to the list of topics given above. Papers should not exceed 5,000 words. They must be original and not submitted to or accepted by any other conference or journal. Proceedings from CAiSE'02 will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science. The proceedings from previous CAiSE conferences are also available in this series. As in previous years, the best papers of the conference will be proposed for publication (after revision and additional refereeing) in a special issue of the international journal "Information Systems".

Submission details

Authors should submit an electronic copy of their paper, in postscript or PDF format, to one of the programme committee co-chairs (John Mylopoulos or Carson Woo). In their submission message, authors should indicate the name and email address of the contact author.

Call for Panels and Tutorials

Proposals are solicited for tutorials and panels to be held together with the conference. Tutorials can be either a half-day (3 hours) or a full-day (6 hours). They should be directed at participants from both the academic and business communities. Panel and tutorial proposals should include a title, an abstract and a short biography of the proposer(s). Panel proposals should also include a list of possible panel members. Tutorial proposals should indicate whether it i s proposed as a half- or full-day tutorial and the intended audience in terms of background and level of expertise. Proposals should be sent to the Tutorial and Panel chair.

Call for Posters

A special area for the display of posters about innovative projects and prototypes will be available during the conference. Poster proposals should include a title, the name of the presenters and a one-page outline describing the project and what would be presented. Proposals should be sent to the Workshop and Poster Chair.

Call for Workshops

A series of workshops will be held in conjunction with the CAiSE'02 conference to encourage interaction between researchers. Workshop topics should be in-line with the conference topics. We invite proposals for workshops stating the topic and overall objectives of the workshop and giving a short curriculum vitae of the proposed organiser(s). Note that the workshops are considered an important part of the CAiSE'02 conference and all workshop participants are expected to also attend the main conference. Proposals should be sent to the Workshop and Poster Chair.
