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.

CAiSEí12 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).
