                   Final CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

                               CAiSE*94

   The 6th Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering


  Date: 6-10 June 1994          Location: Utrecht, The Netherlands


                            ORGANISATION:
    Software Engineering Research Centre and University of Twente


CONFERENCE AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
==============================
The CAiSE*94 conference is already the sixth conference in the CAiSE 
series of conferences. The CAiSE series of conferences provides a 
forum for presentation and exchange of research results and 
practical experiences within the Information Systems Engineering 
(ISE) field.

The ISE field may be characterised by the two terms of information 
systems and engineering. Information Systems implies that computer 
based systems are designed to provide adequate and timely 
information to human users in organisations. Engineering implies the 
application of a rigourous set of problem solving approaches 
analogous to those found in traditional engineering disciplines.

The CAiSE*94 conference in particular aims at bringing together 
researchers and practitioners in the ISE area. It will not only 
offer a three days scientific programme with state of the art paper 
presentations combined with highly interactive panel sessions, but 
also a specific industrial programme containing tutorials and 
technical presentations on innovative products (both scientific and 
commercial). To increase interaction between researchers and 
practitioners the official conference programme will be preceded by 
a two days programme of workshops. The conference will be completed 
with a commercial exhibition for ISE product suppliers and 
scientific poster sessions and demonstrations.

CONFERENCE TOPICS
=================
The topics addressed in the CAiSE*94 conference include, but are not 
limited to the following:

STRUCTURE OF THE CONFERENCE
=======================
The CAiSE*94 conference will be held in Utrecht, The Netherlands, 
famous for its nice atmosphere and its beautiful canals. The 
conference takes place from 6 to 10 June 1994; the first two days (6 
and 7 June) being reserved for workshops. The conference itself 
starts on the Wednesday 8 June with both a scientific and industrial 
track in parallel.

The academic track consists of paper presentations in parallel and a 
number of panel discussions. Two invited speakers have been planned 
for. The academic activities have been enlarged with a possibility 
to have poster sessions and demonstrations.

The industrial track contains both tutorials and product 
presentations. Products can be methods as well as tools, handbooks, 
etc. The industrial track also includes an exhibition.

The conference is sponsored by the Netherlands Research School in 
Information and Knowledge Systems.
