CALL FOR PAPERS CAiSE'09 Amsterdam, The Netherlands

The 21st International Conference on Advanced Information
Systems Engineering (CAiSE'09)
8-12 June 2009, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Information Systems for Business Innovation: The Next Wave

This year's special theme is "Information Systems for Business
Innovation". Due to the widespread use of the web, businesses
innovate their propositions to customers and come up with new ICT-
enabled services. Such innovation requires understanding of the
business and of technology in an integrated way. Multi-disciplinary
research areas such as Service Science, Networked Enterprises, and
Social Networking are paying attention to ICT and business
innovation. The special events and invited speakers of CAiSE '09 will
shed light on this theme from various perspectives.

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:
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

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

Quality concerns in IS engineering
- Knowledge, information, and data quality
- Quality of models and their languages
- Usability, security, trust, flexibility, interoperability

Important Dates:
12 October 2008: Tutorials & workshops submission deadline
Nov 30, 2008: Paper submission deadline
Feb 8, 2009: Notification of acceptance
Jun 8-12, 2009: Conference & workshops

Types of contributions: we invite four types of original and scientific
papers:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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 Conditions: 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.

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).
