Call for Papers
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: technical papers, empirical evaluation
papers, reports of experience, and exploratory papers. The CAiSE topics of
interest include, but are not restricted to:
Methods, techniques and tools for IS engineering

Author Guidelines
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 '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 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>
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.
Publication. Accepted papers will be presented at CAiSE'14 and published in
the conference proceedings, which is published in the Springer Lecture Notes
in Computer Science (LNCS). Authors elected best papers from the conference
will be invited to submit an expanded version for publication in the
journal, Information Systems.
Venue
Thessaloniki is the second largest city of Greece, with a population of
1.000.000 people. Apart from its landmark, the White Tower, the city boasts
important historical sites, museums and cultural activities. It is also
known as a cosmopolitan and commercial center, with exceptional nightlife in
its famous Ladadika quarter. The music scene in the city is vibrant and
diverse and includes nightclubs, dance halls, discos, cafes and music bars,
jazz clubs and more, along with a wealth of live performances, both musical
and theatrical. In addition to important Byzantine and Archaeological
museums within the city, travellers can visit the Archaeological site of
Vergina (the capital of ancient Macedonia). This is the venue of Phillip's
tomb (the father of Alexander the Great), a site full of remarkable
treasures of art and culture. Also within a short distance (45 minutes by
car) one can visit mount Olympus (the mountain of the ancient Gods) where
"Dion" the holy city of ancient Macedonia is located. For these and many
other reasons, Thessaloniki is the cultural capital of northern Greece!
CAISE'2014 will be hosted at the MET Hotel ( <http://www.themethotel.gr>
http://www.themethotel.gr), located very close to the historic center of
Thessaloniki, 17 km from "Macedonia" airport. A block of rooms has been
reserved for the conference registrants.

Call for Tutorial Proposals
<http://delab.csd.auth.gr/caise2014/tutorials/Call_for_Tutorial_Proposals.ph
p>
http://delab.csd.auth.gr/caise2014/tutorials/Call_for_Tutorial_Proposals.php
CAiSE'14 invites proposals for tutorials in technical areas of Information
Systems engineering. These mini-tutorials will be 90 minutes long and should
aim at offering new insights, knowledge, and skills to managers, teachers,
researchers, and students seeking to gain a better understanding of the
state-of-the-art in Information Systems engineering. They are a good way to
get a broad overview of multiple topics in a single day.
Tutorials are intended to provide independent instruction on a topic of
relevance. Therefore, no commercial or sales-oriented presentations will be
accepted. Potential presenters should keep in mind that there may be quite a
varied audience, including novice graduate students, seasoned practitioners,
and specialized researchers. Tutorial speakers should be prepared to cope
with this diversity.
Tutorials will be organized in parallel with the technical sessions of the
main conference and participants of the conference will have free access to
all them.
Tutorial proposals should be submitted to both Tutorial Chairs. Prior
contact with the tutorial chairs is encouraged. The tutorial committee will
review each proposal and will select quality proposals that fit the criteria
mentioned above. Each tutorial proposal will be evaluated on its anticipated
benefit for prospective participants and its fit within the tutorial program
as a whole. Factors to be considered also include: relevance, timeliness,
importance, and audience appeal; effectiveness of teaching methods; and past
experience and qualifications of the instructors.
