*** Information Systems Engineering in Times of Crisis ***

Real-time information systems and overly complex financial products have
been blamed as causes of recent financial crises. The IS Engineering
community is treating such phenomena as challenges, to be addressed through
research and improved practices. In particular, our community has begun to
address the role of information systems in predicting, preventing, and
reacting to crises of many different kinds: data-centric financial and
fiscal dependency analysis of the globalized financial systems, resilience
of critical infrastructures by information management, reaction to natural
disasters such as fires, floods, earthquakes, etc. Due to the very nature of
crises as unexpected events with broad and vast impact, IS Engineering
challenges traditional wisdom and methodologies, as well as interactions
between research and practice including stakeholders such as crisis victims.

CAiSE '14 will, as always, act as a forum of discussion that brings together
researchers and practitioners in the field of IS Engineering. It will be the
place to share mature research, ground-breaking ideas, and experience
reports in our discipline.

CAiSE welcomes all submissions that fall in the domain of information
systems engineering. This year, the conference extends a special welcome to
papers that address the role of IS engineering in crisis situations. Four
kinds of contributions are accepted: 
 - Formal and/or technical papers
 - Empirical evaluation papers
 - Experience papers
 - Exploratory papers 

The CAiSE topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:
----- Methods, techniques and tools for IS engineering • Innovation and
creativity in IS engineering • Enterprise architecture and enterprise
modelling • Requirements engineering • Business process modeling, analysis
and management • Requirements, models, and software reuse • Adaptation,
evolution and flexibility issues • Domain engineering • IS in networked &
virtual organizations • Method engineering • Knowledge, information, and
