The CAiSE conferences provide a forum for presentation and exchange of research results and practical experiences within the field of Information Systems Engineering. 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.

Submission

We solicit results of innovative projects and prototypes as well as promising new approaches, and experience reports as short papers at the conference. They will be included the proceedings “CAiSE Forum” (local publisher), together with the contributions of several of the CAiSE'03 workshops. In addition, the CAiSE Forum will be published electronically and included in the usual indexing services (dblp, citeseer) for rapid and extensive dissemination. Authors should submit their short papers electronically in postscript or PDF format, using the Electronic Submission system

Short papers have to be submitted in final version already. They must not exceed 4 pages and are prepared according to the instructions given at the submission web-site! The short papers must not infringe upon any copyrights or other rights, not contain infringing or other unlawful matter.

It is expected that one of the authors presents the short paper at the conference. For the short papers we will explore new ways of presentation at the conference. Presentations (power point, pdf) can also be made available on the Web-site of the conference.
