seriesofInternationalConferencesonAdvanced Information System
Engineering. This edition continued the success of previous
conferences, a success largely due to that fact that, since its
?rst edition, this series has evolvedin parallelwith the
evolutionofthe importance ofinformation systems in economic
development. CAiSE has been able to follow, and often to
anticipate, important changes that have occurred since 1978 when
the ?rst CAiSE conference was organized by Arne Sølvberg and Janis
Bubenko. In all these years, modern businesses and IT systems have
been facing an ever more complex environment characterized by
openness, variety and change. Furthermore, enterprises are
experiencing ever more variety in their business in many
dimensions. In the same way, the explosion of information
technologies is overwhelming with a multitude of languages,
platforms, devices, standards and products. Thus enterprises need
to manage an environment to monitor the interplay of changes in the
business processes, in information technologies, and at the
ontological level, in order to achieve a sustainable development of
their information systems. Enterprises must enter the era of
sustainable information systems to face the important developmental
challenges. During all these years, CAiSE researchers have been
challenged by all these
changes,andtheCAiSEconferencesprovideaforumforpresentinganddebating
important scienti?c results. In fact, CAiSE is positioned at the
core of these
tumultuousprocesses,hostingnewemergingideas,fosteringinnovativeprocesses
of design and evaluation, developing new information technologies
adapted to information systems, creating new kinds of models, but
always being subject to rigorous scienti?c selection.
