THEME </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The special theme of the 24th edition of CAiSE is
Information Services. The notion of service plays a more and more extensive role
in the enterprise development. Indeed, most of the enterprise management and
manufacture is based on the exchange of services: services to the customers
and/or citizens, services to support the inter-organisational collaboration as
well as services to accomplish intra-organisational activities. Many
organizations and companies are sharing services with others, interfacing
services from others, or outsourcing their ICT resources to various locations
worldwide aided by the internet. For all of them, the concept of service becomes
a cornerstone of their processes of collaboration, innovation and value
creation. In this context, the information systems (IS) engineering is moving
towards the adoption of service-driven architectures where intra- and
inter-organisational business activities are carried out with the help of
information services. Information services are considered as a new means to deal
with the complexity, modularity and interoperability of the constantly growing
IS. Design and development of information services and information
service-driven architectures become key to the success of organisations and
their business. Therefore, the service-driven IS domain becomes a new complex
domain, which requires new interdisciplinary approaches and new
transdisciplinary ways of thinking.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>CAiSE’12 aims to bring together researchers and
practitioners in the field of information systems engineering and invites papers
that address all these challenges. The topics of interests include, but are not
restricted to:</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2

GUIDELINES</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>We invite four types of original and scientific
papers:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>- 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
<BR>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>- 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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>- 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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>- 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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2
face=Arial>**********************************************************************<BR>SUBMISSION
AND PUBLICATION </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>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 <BR><A
href="http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.Three">http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.Three</A>
to five keywords characterising 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.<BR>Accepted papers will be presented at CAiSE'12 and published in
the conference proceedings, which are published in the Springer Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (LNCS).</FONT></DIV>
