_*SCOPE AND TOPICS:

*This year's special theme is "Evolving information systems".

Modern information systems are the result of the interconnection of systems of many organizations, are running in variable contexts, and require both a lightweight approach to interoperability and the capability to actively react to changing requirements and failures. In addition, users of information systems are becoming more and more mobile and ubiquitous, requiring the system to adapt to their varying usage contexts and goals.

The evolution of an information system should be a continuous process rather than a single step, and it should be inherently supported by the system itself and the design of the information system should consider evolution as an inherent property of the system.

The special events and invited speakers of CAiSE '2010 will shed light on this theme from various perspectives.

*Goal:* CAiSE'2010 aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in the field of information systems engineering. CAiSE'2010 invites submissions on the design, development, maintenance, and usage of information systems - and especially submissions dealing with evolving information systems.


*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 - Model, component, and software reuse - IS reengineering - IS engineering approaches for adaptive and flexible information
systems - Service science - Knowledge patterns and ontologies for IS engineering - IS in networked & virtual organizations - Method engineering
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 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:

*Tutorials & Workshops submission deadline: October 12, 2009
*Papers submission deadline: NOVEMBER 30, 2009
*Notification of acceptance: February 18, 2010
CAISE 2010 Conference & Workshops: June 7-11, 2010


*TYPES OF CONTRIBUTIONS:

*We invite four types of original and scientific papers:

o *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.

o *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.

o *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.

o *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. The type of paper (technical/empirical evaluation/experience/
