Connected Society is the goal of the confluence of information systems, telecommunication systems and their application in business as well as in everyday life. The pervasiveness of infrastructures for modern information systems greatly extends the demands on engineering information systems in terms of scale, quality, dependability and adaptability. Information Systems for a Connected Society will be multi-medial, multi-modal, multi-lingual, and multi-cultural. Situation and location awareness will allow users to cope with the complexity of these systems. The necessary technologies for building, deploying and maintaining such information systems will be in the focus of CAiSE’03.
