Motivation & Purpose
--------------------
The 22nd International Conference on Information Systems Development (ISD2013) intends to be an international event for exchanging ideas that help to the real improvement of information system development in companies, enriching them with research results.

The evolution of information system development was clearly important in the last years. Research groups and universities have worked in proposing new methods, techniques and tools to improve this activity. In the enterprise environment, the necessity of suitable solutions is every day more necessary.
