At the time of writing (mid-October 1998) we can look back at what has been a very successful ECOOP’98. Despite the time of the year – in the middle of what is traditionally regarded as a holiday period – ECOOP'98 was a record breaker in terms of number of participants. Over 700 persons found their way to the campus of the Brussels Free University to participate in a wide range of activities. This 3rd ECOOP workshop reader reports on many of these activities. It contains a careful selection of the input and a cautious summary of the outcome for the numerous discussions that happened during the workshops, demonstrations and posters. As such, this book serves as an excellent snapshot of the state of the art in the field of object oriented programming. About the diversity of the submissions A workshop reader is, by its very nature, quite diverse in the topics covered as well as in the form of its contributions. This reader is not an exception to this rule: as editors we have given the respective organizers much freedom in their choice of presentation because we feel form follows content. This explains the diversity in the types of reports as well as in their lay out.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Object-Oriented Information Systems, OOIS 2003, held in Geneva, Switzerland in September 2003. The 29 revised full papers and 11 revised short papers presented together with an invited paper and abstracts of 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 80 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on evolution of OOIS, OOIS frameworks, patterns and components, object-oriented databases, XML on Web aspects, evolution, object-oriented design and architecture, and modeling of information systems.

"This book presents a wide range of the most current issues related to the planning, design, maintenance, and management of telecommunications and networking technologies and applications in organizations"--Provided by publisher.

CAiSE 2000 was the 12th in the series of International Conferences on Advanced Information Systems Engineering. In the year 2000 the conference returned to Stockholm where it was organized the very first time. Since that year, 1989, the CAiSE conferences have developed into an important forum for the presentation and exchange of research results and practical experiences within the field of Information Systems Engineering. The objective of the CAiSE conference series is to bring together researchers and practitioners in the field of information systems engineering to meet annually in order to discuss evolving research issues and applications in this field. The CAiSE conference series also aims to provide an opportunity for young scientists to establish relationships with senior scientists in their areas of interest. Stockholm is an important center of research and development for some of the leading IT and communications companies in Europe and indeed, in the world. In tune with this environment, a major theme of CAiSE 2000 was "information systems and services in a digitized world". This theme reflects the vast improvements in communication technology, including the increasing use of Internet and WWW, that has taken place over the last years, and that has led to better communication and easier information access in general. In addition, this development has initiated changes in the way organizations cooperate and trade.

Annals of Cases on Information Technology provides 37 case studies, authored by over 50 world-renowned academicians and practitioners in information technology each offering insight into how to succeeed in IT projects and how to avoid costly failures. These case studies describe private and public organizations including educational institutions, electronic businesses and governmental organizations ranging in size from small businesses to large organizations. Additionally, they focus on a variety of technology projects including electronic commerce and electronic business initiatives, enterprise resource planning and reengineering efforts, data mining projects and the human factors relating to IT projects.

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 11th IFIP WG 8.1 Conference on the Practice of Enterprise Modeling held in October/November 12018 in Vienna, Austria. The conference was created by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 8.1 to offer a forum for knowledge transfer and experience sharing between the academic and practitioner communities. The 21 full papers and 5 short papers accepted were carefully reviewed and selected from 64 submissions. They are grouped by the following topics: business process modeling, model derivation; collaboration modeling; reviews and analyses of modeling methods; semantics and reasoning, experience reports; and teaching challenges.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the Third International IFIP Working Conference on Enterprise Interoperability (IWEI 2011) , held in Stockholm, Sweden, March 23-24, 2011. The special theme chosen for IWEI 2011 was “Interoperability and Future Internet for Next-Generation Enterprises”. Thus special attention was given to how the interoperability needs of enterprises will be shaped and supported by the emerging Future Internet. The 15 papers presented in this volume were carefully selected from 47 submissions, based on a thorough reviewing process in which each paper was scrutinized by at least three experts in the field. The papers cover a wide spectrum of enterprise interoperability issues, ranging from foundational theories, frameworks, architectures, methods and guidelines to applications and case studies. This volume also includes the abstracts of the two invited talks on challenges for future networked enterprise systems.

Information Systems Development (ISD) progresses rapidly, continually creating new challenges for the professionals involved. New concepts, approaches and techniques of systems development emerge constantly in this field. Progress in ISD comes from research as well as from practice. This conference will discuss issues pertaining to information systems development (ISD) in the inter-networked digital economy. Participants will include researchers, both experienced and novice, from industry and academia, as well as students and practitioners. Themes will include methods and approaches for ISD; ISD education; philosophical, ethical, and sociological aspects of ISD; as well as specialized tracks such as: distributed software development, ISD and knowledge management, ISD and electronic business / electronic government, ISD in public sector organizations, IOS.
