[ecoop-info] Call for papers CAISE'08

[Selmin Nurcan]

Dear Colleagues,

The CAISE Conference is celebrating its 20th birthday!

After these 20 years, as our world of interdependent activities and 
information technology continues to undergo profound changes, it is 
fundamental to maintain an adequate balance between activities and systems, 
and to promote their evolution in the context of sustainability.

Please find underneath  the Call for Paper for the 20th International 
Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering.

We invite you to submit your work in CAISE'08.


We will be also grateful to you for advertising  CAISE'08 and inviting your 
colleagues and/or research students to submit their work.


I hope to meet you in the south of France the next summer.
Best regards,

Selmin Nurcan
CAISE'08 Publicity Chair

CALL FOR PAPERS

20th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering 
(CAiSE'08)
         Sustainable Information Systems

JUNE 16-20, 2008, Montpellier, FRANCE

Papers submission deadline: November 30, 2007
http://www.lirmm.fr/caise08/


SCOPE AND TOPICS:

The CAISE Conference is celebrating its 20th birthday! After these 20 
years, Information Systems (IS) now support and underlie most, if not all, 
of our human activities. Considering the major economic and social 
development challenges now at stake, it is time to enter into the era of 
Sustainable Information Systems (SIS). As our world of interdependent 
activities and information technology continues to undergo profound changes 
and transformations, it is fundamental to maintain an adequate balance 
between activities and systems, and to promote their evolution in the 
context of sustainability.

CAiSE’08 aims to bring together practitioners and researchers in the field 
of information systems engineering. CAiSE’08 invites submissions on the 
development, evolution, requirements and usage of information systems. This 
year’s special theme is "Sustainable Information Systems" (SIS) which are 
information systems with built-in support to handle evolution. Information 
systems are growing rapidly in scale and complexity. At the same time, 
information system evolution is a fact of life in today’s organizations. 
Furthermore, nomadism and mobile communication lead to a process of 
continuous change of services provided by information systems. SIS should 
continuously simplify adequacy between system and enterprise requirements 
as well as assimilation of new supporting technologies. In addition, 
approaches for SIS should reduce the failure rate in IS development and 
allow for the definition of quality & maturity of IS development. An SIS 
must meet the needs of the present without compromising its ability to meet 
future requirements related to its context of use, and, consequently, must 
enable and facilitate innovative policies and practices at the activity level.

Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:
· IS development for sustainability IS
· IS development with ubiquitous technologies
· IT requirements for SIS development
· Cognitive, business, social and requirement models for SIS
· Secure & trusted SIS
· IS compliance with rules, regulations or laws
· IS evolution at any level: goals, requirements, models, systems Database 
support for SIS
· Conformance of the various IS levels: process, static,   requirement, use 
case
· Adequacy of IS development and enterprise development
· Networked & virtual organizations
· Participatory, collaborative IS approaches

The conference also welcomes papers on the fundamental aspects of IS 
engineering.
· Enterprise architecture and enterprise modelling
· Requirements engineering for IS
· Knowledge patterns relevant to IS engineering (ISE)
· Ontology for ISE
· Business process modelling and management
· IS Component-based development
· Interoperability of IS and enterprises
· Semantic web, Web 2.0
· Components of methods, chunks, fragments
· Constellation of values, intentions, requirements
· Formal IS aspects


IMPORTANT DATES:

Tutorials & Workshops submission deadline: October 14, 2007
Papers submission deadline:                     NOVEMBER 30, 2007
Notification of acceptance:                     February 15, 2008
CAISE 2008 Conference & Workshops:      June 16-20, 2008


TYPES OF CONTRIBUTIONS:

We invite four types of original and scientific papers:
o Formal and/or technical papers describe original research contributions 
(theoretical, methodological or conceptual) to the field of IS engineering. 
A research 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 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 
IT tools or new kinds of activities or new IS challenges, in particular 
relevant to sustainable IS. They must describe precisely the situation and 
demonstrate how current methods, tools, ways of reasoning, 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 or exceeding 15 pages 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.


REVIEW PROCESS AND PUBLICATION:

At least three members of the CAiSE’08 program committee will review each 
submission. The program committee will meet to review and make final 
decisions. Accepted papers will be presented at CAiSE’08 and published in 
the conference proceedings.

The conference proceedings will be published in Springer Lecture Notes in 
Computer Science (LNCS).
