Information Systems for Business Innovation: The Next Wave
This year's special theme is "Information Systems for Business Innovation". Due to the widespread use of the web, businesses innovate their propositions to customers and come up with new ICT- enabled services. Such innovation requires understanding of the business and of technology in an integrated way. Multi-disciplinary research areas such as Service Science, Networked Enterprises, and Social Networking are paying attention to ICT and business innovation. The special events and invited speakers of CAiSE '09 will shed light on this theme from various perspectives.

Goal: CAiSE'09 aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in the field of information systems engineering. CAiSE'09 invites submissions on the development, maintenance, and usage of information systems - and especially submissions dealing with information systems for business innovation. The topics of interests include, but are not restricted to:

Methodologies and approaches for IS engineering
 * Enterprise architecture and enterprise modelling
 * Requirements engineering
 * Business process modelling and management
 * Simulation
 * Agile methods
 * Model, component, and software reuse
 * IS reengineering
 * Adaptive IS engineering approaches
 * Service science
 * Knowledge patterns and ontologies for IS engineering
 * IS in networked & virtual organizations

Innovative platforms, architectures and technologies for IS engineering
 * Service-oriented architecture
 * Model-driven architecture
 * Component based development
 * Agent architecture
 * Distributed, mobile-, and open architecture
 * Innovative database technology
 * Semantic web
 * IS and ubiquitous technologies

Engineering of specific kinds of IS:
 * eGovernment
 * Enterprise systems (ERP, CRM, CRM)
 * Data warehousing
 * Workflow systems
 * Knowledge management systems
 * Content management systems

Quality concerns in IS engineering
 * Knowledge, information, and data quality
 * Quality of models and their languages
 * Usability, security, trust, flexibility, interoperability

It is dadferul that anyone would wish to take their own life and even more when it's a very young person who hasn't had a chance to experience much life. There is currently a place in Britain called Bridgend where there has been one suicide after another - all very young people, all around school age or just a little older. There apparently is no explanation for it that anyone has been able to find. It is a complete and tragic mystery - truly chilling.Life is so very precious and we are all so lucky to have been given the chance to live it.
