Dear all,

This is a kind invitation to submit your scientific work or industrial experiences to one of the top conferences in information systems engineering.
You will find the call for papers below and more information in the event website: http://www.pros.upv.es/index.php/en/home-caise2013

This year it is held in Valencia, Spain and I am sure that the technical content of the presentations will be of high quality, as in previous CAiSE editions, and that the social programme being prepared is great, also a constant in this conference ;)

 Best regards,
  Sergio España

CALL FOR PAPERS for CAISE 2013

25th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE 2013)

Valencia, Spain,

From June 17, 2013 to June 21, 2013
Valencia, SPAIN

www.pros.upv.es/caise2013

***************************************************************************

2013 will be the 25th birthday of the International Conference CAiSE series. What has changed since the last century, and what does it tell us about future trends in information systems engineering? 

Information systems play, more than ever, a strategic role at the very core of organisations. More than ever, emerging innovative platforms, architectures and technologies raise new questions that need to be addressed in a thorough way by science. More than ever, results from within laboratories need to be shared across the academic community and industry to address new educational and business opportunities. This year, CAiSE will, as it has always been, act as a forum of discussion that brings together researchers and practitioners in the field of information systems engineering. It will be the place to share mature research results as well as ground-breaking ideas, and experience reports in information systems engineering. 

CAiSE welcomes all submissions that fall in the domain of information systems engineering, in particular those in the following list. Four kinds of contributions are accepted: technical papers, empirical evaluation papers, reports of experience, and exploratory papers. This year, the conference will be particularly glad to receive exploratory papers that share visions, novel approaches, or insight into new information systems engineering paradigms.

-Workflow systems
-Knowledge management systems
-Content management systems
-Sustainability-aware IS
-Semantic web



Types of Contributions
=================
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 "why" 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 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 characterizing the paper should be indicated at the end of the abstract. The type of paper (technical/empirical evaluation/experience/exploratory paper) should be indicated in the submission.

Accepted papers will be presented at CAiSE'13 and published in the conference proceedings, which is published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).
