The field of software engineering is characterized by speed and turbulence in many regards. While new ideas are proposed almost on a yearly basis, very few of them live for a decade or a longer. Lightweight software development methods were a new idea in the latter part of the 1990s. Now, ten years later, they are better known as agile software development methods, and an active community driven by practitioners has formed around the new way of thinking. Agile software development is currently being embraced by the research community as well. As a sign of increased research activity, most...

This book constitutes the proceedings of the First NAF Academy Working Conference on Practice-Driven Research on Enterprise Transformation, PRET 2009, held at CAiSE 2009, in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, on June 11, 2009. The goal of this new event is to stimulate interaction between industry and academia in the area of enterprise engineering, as this field requires close cooperation between the two communities.
The 11 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 30 submissions. They provide practical insights and evaluations of theories in terms of experiences from...

In the era of continuous changes in internal organizationalsettings and external business environments - such as new regulations and business opportunities - modern enterprises are subject to extensive research and study. For the understanding, design, and engineering of modern enterprises and theircomplexbusiness processes, thedisciplineofenterpriseengineeringrequires sound engineering principles and systematic approaches based on rigorous th- ries. Along with that, a paradigm shift seems to be needed for addressing these issues adequately. The main paradigm shift is the consideration of an...

For the past 20 years the TOOLS conferences have continuously spread new technologies in the world of object-orientation, component technology and so- ware engineering in general. They constitute a particularly important forum for software researchers and practitioners to present work that relies on producing tools. This year's TOOLS continued the tradition and presented a strong program thatincluded originalcontributionsin allmajor?elds ofthe object-orientedp- adigm. As in TOOLS 2008, the concept of model occupied a considerable place; but other topics such as re?ection, aspects, modelling...

SEAFOOD 2009: Enabling Global Partnerships to Deliver on Business Needs Companies have been outsourcing areas of software development work for many years, either because of the engineering challenges or because the outsourced aspect is not central to their core business. A profound transformation has been a?ecting this model over recent years: a massive transfer of development - tivities from the USA and Europe to a skilled labor force in service-providing countries. This transformation has been driven by the demands of a global bu- ness climate seeking to increase the value delivery of IT...

One of the trends in the global market is the increasing collaboration among ent- prises. Constant changes in inter- and intra-organizational environments will persist in the future. Organizations have to flexibly and continuously react to (imminent) changes in markets and trading partners. Large companies but also SMEs have to cope with internal changes from both a technical (e.g., new information, communi- tion, software and hardware technologies) and an organizational point of view (e.g., merging, re-organization, virtual organizations, etc.). In this context, the competiti- ness of an...

Enterprise modeling (EM) has gained substantial popularity both in the academic community and among practitioners. A variety of EM methods, approaches, and tools are being developed and offered on the market. In practice they are used for various purposes such as business strategy development, process restructuring, as well as business and IT architecture alignment and governance. PoEM 2009 - the second IFIP WG 8.1 Working Conference on The Practice of Enterprise Modeling took place in November in Stockholm, Sweden. The conference series is a dedicated forum where the use of EM in practice is...

Ingo Weber develops new approaches for the rapid development and flexible adaption of business processes, which are often the main requirements in today's IT support for enterprises. Key issues covered by his work are the automatic composition of processes out of predefined components and the verification of specific process properties. His research aims at quickly creating executable process models, which orchestrate the usage of Web services. He investigates how process modelers can be supported by semantic technologies, e.g., by semantically enriched process models or annotated Web...
