Preface
In2013,theInternationalConferenceonAdvanceInformationSystemsEngineering
(CAiSE)isturning25.Startedin1989,intheseyears,theconferencehasprovided
abroadforumforresearchersworkingintheareaofInformationSystemsEngineer-
ing.Toreflectontheworkdonesofarandtoexamineperspectivesoffuturework,
the CAiSE Steering Committee decided to collect a selection of papers published
in the conferenceproceedingsin these yearsand to ask their authors,well-known
researchersinthearea,tocommentontheirworkandhowitdevelopedduringthe
years. CAiSE Proceedings have been published by Springer in the Lecture Notes
in Computer Science Series (LNCS) since 1990. The editors of this book, who
arethe membersoftheConferenceAdvisoryBoardandthechairsofthe Steering
Committee,selectedpapersfromCAiSEconferencesfrom1992to2008,toprovide
abroadoverviewonthetopicsthatwerepresentedanddiscussedintheconference
andtheirevolution.Theselectionphasehasnotbeeneasy,sincemanypaperswere
wellreceivedintheresearchcommunityandhadabroadimpactonfuturework.In
the book,the originalpaper is reprinted,and after it, a shortpaper illustrating the
evolutionoftheresearchrelatedtothepaperisincluded.Aseditors,wearethankful
totheauthorswhoacceptedtoparticipateinthisadventure.
In addition, the book provides an overview on the conference from different
pointsofview:ahistoricalanalysisonhowitdevelopedanditsgoalsovertheyears,
a social networkanalysisof the positioningof CAiSE in the researchcommunity,
and future perspectives for the conference in an evolving world. As analyzed in
these chapters, and as it is evident from the selected papers, the scope of the
conference is broad but, at the same time, well positioned in an area which is
related to the topics of modeling and designing information systems, collecting
theirrequirements,butalsowithaspecialattentiononhowinformationsystemsare
engineered, towards their final development as software components. Such focus
has been consistently present in the developmentof the conference and in recent
years. As such,the conferenceattracted overthe yearsa largerand largernumber
ofresearchers,participatingbothintheconferenceandinitsrelatedevents,suchas
workshops,relatedconferences,tutorials,andtheDoctoralConsortium.

We think that as a whole the book provides a comprehensive overview of the
research in this area and also provides many inspiring considerations for future
work.
