                         CAiSE 22
             34th International Conference on
          Advanced Information Systems Engineering
                      Leuven, Belgium
                      June 6-10, 2022


=== Call for Papers at the Main Conference

The CAiSE’22 organization calls for full papers with a special emphasis on the theme of
Information Systems in the post-COVID era: reconciling the best of both worlds. This
year’s theme focuses on balancing between “going back to normal” and reaping the benefits
of what we have learned from our digital experiences.  An important challenge is finding
the correct balance between online and face-to-face, and finding ways to optimize, scale
and ensure a qualitative experience of digitalized services.

Besides offering an exciting scientific program, CAiSE’22 will feature a best paper award,
a special issue, and a PhD-thesis award: 
Best Paper Award‚ prize EUR 1000  (sponsored by Springer)
Special Issue of CAiSE’22 in the Information Systems Journal
PhD-Thesis Award‚ best PhD thesis of a past CAISE Doctoral Consortium author (co-sponsored
by the CAiSE Steering Committee and Springer)

=== SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:

Papers should be submitted in PDF format. Submissions must conform to Springer‚ 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. 

The results described must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. Three to
five keywords characterising the paper should be listed at the end of the abstract. Each
paper will be reviewed by at least two program committee members and, if positively
evaluated, by one additional program board member. The selected papers will be discussed
among the paper reviewers on-line and additionally during the program board meeting. As
the review process is not blind, please indicate your name and affiliation on your
submission. Accepted papers will be presented at CAiSE’22 and published in the conference
proceedings in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). 

We invite three types of original and scientific papers. The type of submission must be
indicated in the submission system. Each contribution should explicitly address the
engineering or the operation of information systems, clearly identify the information
systems problem addressed, the expected impact of the contribution to information system
engineering or operation, and the research method used. We strongly advise authors to
clearly emphasize these aspects in their paper, including the abstract. 

- 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 its potential‚ as well as
demonstrate the benefits of the contribution through a rigorous evaluation.

- Empirical papers evaluate existing problem situations including problems encountered in
practice, or validate proposed solutions with scientific means, i.e., by empirical
studies, experiments, case studies, experience reports, simulations, 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.

- Exploratory papers can describe completely new research positions or approaches, in
order to face a generic situation arising because of new ICT tools, new kinds of
activities or new IS challenges. They must describe precisely the situation and
demonstrate why current methods, tools, ways of reasoning, or meta-models are inadequate.
They must also rigorously present their approach and demonstrate its pertinence and
correctness to addressing the identified situation.
