_*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/

dings and have presentations during the conference. Submitted papers
must be in English presenting original research. They must be
unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere (neither
conference nor journal). In particular, simultaneous submission of
the same contribution to multiple ETAPS conferences is forbidden. One
author of each accepted paper must attend the conference to present
the paper.

Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF (preferably) or PS
(using Type 1 fonts). The proceedings will be published in the Springer-
Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Final papers will
be in the format specified by Springer-Verlag at the URL:

http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html

Submissions not adhering to the specified format and length may be
rejected immediately, without review.

-- Research Papers --

FASE, FOSSACS and TACAS papers should be no more than **15** pages
long. ESOP and CC papers must have a maximum length of **20** pages.
The length indications include figures and references. Additional
material intended for the referee but not for publication in the
final version - for example details of proofs - may be placed in a clearly marked appendix that is not included in the page limit.
ETAPS referees are at liberty to ignore appendices, and papers must
be understandable without them.

-- Tool Demonstration Papers --

Submissions should consist of two parts:

- The first part, at most four pages, should describe the tool. Please
include the URL of the tool (if available) and provide information
which illustrates the maturity and robustness of the tool. (This part
will be included in the proceedings.)

- The second part, at most six pages, should explain how the demon-
stration will be carried out and what it will show, including screen
dumps and examples. (This part will be not be included in the
proceedings, but will be evaluated.)

Please note that FOSSACS does not accept tool demonstration papers.

-- SATELLITE EVENTS --

At ETAPS 2010, 19 workshops will take place.

-- Paphos --

The west coast town of Paphos with its pleasant harbour and medieval
fort, combines a cosmopolitan holiday resort, spectacular countryside
and historical sites. With a population of just 28.000 inhabitants,
Paphos nestles in the lee of the Western Troodos Mountains and close
to the Akamas National Park which add another dimension to this area
of scenic beauty. Paphos has an air of holiday charm combined with
history, and olden-day elegance is lent to the town by its classical
style buildings in the upper part of town which leads to the shopping
area. The lower part of the town has a life of its own, down near the
sea, home of the harbour, the fish taverns, souvenir shops and several
hotels with important archaeological sites around them. Paphos was the
island's capital, and it is famous for the remains of the Roman
Governor's palace, where extensive, fine mosaics are a major tourist
attraction. The town of Paphos is included in the official UNESCO list
of cultural and natural treasures of the world's heritage.
