Conference Theme - IS Olympics: Information Systems in a diverse world 

We link this year’s CAiSE conference theme with the coming Olympic and 
Paralympic Games, two international multi-sport events, which bring 
together athletes from all the continents to celebrate sporting excellence 
but also human diversity. Diversity is an important concept for modern 
information systems. Information Systems (IS) are diverse by nature 
ranging from basic systems to complex and from small to large.  The 
process of constructing such systems is also diverse ranging from ad-hoc 
methods, to structured and formal methods.  Diversity is also present 
amongst information systems developers, from novice to experienced. 
Moreover, the wide acceptance of information systems and their usage in 
almost every aspect of the human life has also introduced diversity 
amongst users. Users range from novice to experience and they demonstrate 
differences related to race, ethnicity, gender, socio-economic status, 
age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, and so on. It is therefore the 
responsibility of the Information Systems Engineering community to 
engineer information systems that operate in such diverse world. 
      On the other hand, looking at the issues of the modern Olympic 
Games, we can identify a number of issues that rapidly make their 
appearance in the area of Information Systems. The kind of systems that 
are implemented and used in Olympic Games are varied and many. Every type 
of system that a well established multinational organisation uses is also 
established by the Local Organising Committee (OCOG), for example, ERP, 
private telecoms, HR recruitment, CAD/CAM etc. Many types of system that 
local governments use, such a town planning, transportation, refuge 
collection, medical services, also play a significant role. Many types of 
system that national governments use are also present such as 
accreditation, physical security systems. Moreover, the Olympic Games have 
a fixed starting date; everything needs to work perfectly from the first 
day; there is a large number of distributed (geographically) systems that 
need to be supported; requirements come from different sources (IOC, sport 
event specific, central administration, laws, sponsors etc). Similarly, an 
increasing number of information systems need to start operation on a 
specific day (restricted by laws and international agreements); important 
information is stored so full operation is required from day one; the need 
for international collaboration systems means that systems are becoming 
larger and highly distributed; various stakeholders are involved 
introducing different and sometimes conflicting requirements. All these 
issues introduce a number of challenges for the Information Systems 
Engineering community related to engineering, quality and 
interconnectivity of information systems. 
      CAiSE’11 invites papers that address all these challenges. We also 
specifically encourage submissions that address diversity issues, either 
in terms of the information systems, the development team or the 
information systems users. The topics of interests include, but are not 
restricted to: 

Methodologies and Approaches for IS Engineering: 
-Enterprise architecture and enterprise modelling;-Knowledge patterns and 
ontologies for IS engineering;-Requirements engineering;-Methodologies and 
Languages for Secure IS;-Business process modelling and management;-IS 
engineering approaches for adaptive and flexible information systems;- 
Simulation;-IS in networked & virtual organizations;-Model, component, and 
software reuse;-Method engineering;-IS reengineering;-Quality of models 
and of modelling languages;-Adaptive IS engineering approaches;-Usability, 
trust, flexibility, interoperability;-Knowledge, information, and data 
quality 
Innovative platforms, architectures and technologies for IS engineering: 
-Service-oriented architectures; 
-Innovative database technology; 
-Model-driven architectures; 
-Semantic web;-Component based development; 
-IS and ubiquitous technologies;-Software Agents architectures; 
-Adaptive and context-aware IS;-Distributed, mobile, and open 
architectures; 
Engineering of specific kinds of IS: 
-eGovernment;-Enterprise systems (ERP, CRM); 
-Data warehousing;-Workflow systems; 
-Knowledge management systems;-Content management systems;Emerging Areas 
of IS: 
-IS & Digital Ecologies-IS & Smart Buildings; 
-IS & Digital Devices-IS & their Economies 
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. 

Accepted papers will be presented at CAiSE’11 and published in the 
conference proceedings, which are published in the Springer Lecture Notes 
in Computer Science (LNCS). A small selection of best papers will be 
recommended for inclusion in a special issue of Information Systems 
(latest impact factor: 1.966) dedicated to this conference. 

At least one of the authors of an accepted paper must register for the 
conference and attend the conference to present the paper.
