CALL FOR PAPERS
CAiSE*98
THE 10TH CONFERENCE ON ADVANCED INFORMATION SYSTEMS ENGINEERING
PISA, ITALY
JUNE 8-12, 1998
http://www.pianosa.cnuce.cnr.it/caise98
***********************************************************************
CONFERENCE AIMS & OBJECTIVES
CAiSE*98 is the 10th in the series of CAiSE Conferences which provide a
forum for presentation and exchange of research results and practical
experiences within the field of Information Systems Engineering. A special
theme of the CAiSE*98 Conference is "Information Systems Engineering in
Public Administrations". Information systems in the public administration
domain present particular features in terms of users, goals and
requirements, that characterise them with respect to other business
information systems. In addition, an important issue concerns harmonization
of Public Administration procedures and data, and Public Administrations
in a multinational community, for instance for exchanging
data of common interest.
CAiSE*98 aims at bringing together researchers, users, and practitioners in
the field. CAiSE*98 also features a specific industrial and user-oriented
programme containing tutorials, as well as technical presentations of
innovative products.
The scientific programme consists of paper presentations,
workshops, tutorials, and interactive panel sessions.
The conference organisers invite submission of papers, as well as workshop,
panel, and tutorial proposals to CAiSE*98, which will be held in Pisa,
Italy on June 8-12, 1998.
CONFERENCE TOPICS
A special theme of CAiSE*98 is:
"Information Systems in Public Administrations".
An indicative, but not restrictive, list of such information systems (PA-IS)

services to citizens and to public and private organisations provided by new
technologies, such as the World Wide Web, in connection with existing
information systems, heterogeneous data management systems.
More specifically, relevant topics for CAiSE*98 include, but are
not necessarily limited to, the following:
Methodologies and Models for IS
Interrelating methods and formalisms
Reuse at conceptual and design levels
IS Implementation Techniques: Reuse-based Development, Database Programming
Languages, Application Generators, Object-Oriented design
Geographic IS
Interoperability of Applications
Spatial and temporal information management
IS Strategy and Planning
Systems procurement processes
Maintenance and Evolution of IS
Information Repositories
Data and Process Re-engineering
Metrics and indicators
