Opis

The growing demand for information systems of ever-increasing size, scope and complexity has highlighted the benefits that may be accrued from approaches which recognize the inter-relationships between different technological strands in the field of information systems. Typical examples of these areas include: system development methods, CAiSE, requirements engineering, database design and re-use. The CAiSE series of conferences provides the forum for the exchange of results and ideas within these different technological spheres from a single perspective, namely that of information systems development and management.
