Full Description
This volume presents the proceedings of the fifth Conference
on Advanced Information Systems Engineering, CAiSE '93, held
at the University of Paris-Sorbonne in June 1993.
Initiated by J. Bubenko from the Swedish Institute for
Systems Development in Stockhom, Sweden, and A. Solvberg
from the Norwegian Institute of Technology in Trondheim,
Norway, this series of conferences evolved from a Nordic
audience to a truly European one. All the conferences have
attracted international papers of high quality, indicating
the needfor an international conference on advanced
information systems engineering topics.
The spectrum of contributions contained in the present
proceedings extends from inevitable and still controversial
issues regarding modeling of information systems, via
development environments and experiences, to various novel
views forsomespecific aspects of information systems
development such as reuse, schema integration, and
evolution.
