This volume contains the papers presented at the of Doctoral Consortium of the 25th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering, held on June 21, 2013, in Valencia, Spain. The CAiSE Doctoral Consortium, now in its 20th year, brings together Ph.D. students working on foundations, techniques, tools and applications of information systems. It provides the students with an opportunity to present and discuss their research to an audience of peers and senior faculty in a supportive environment. The main goals of the Consortium are to provide: -fruitful feedback and advice to the competitively selected Ph.D. students on their research project -the opportunity to meet experts from di erent backgrounds working on topics related to the Information Systems Engineering eld -an environment within which the Ph.D. students can interact with their peers and stimulate an exchange of ideas and suggestions among participants -the opportunity to discuss concerns about research, supervision, the job market, and other career-related issues We would like to thank the Program Committee for their expert and timely feedback on student submissions, which facilitated the competitive selection of eight papers for presentation. We would also like to thank Prof. Sandeep Purao (Penn State University) for his insightful and motivating keynote presentation. The success of this event is also thanks to the CAiSE 2013 Doctoral Consortium Faculty Mentors who dedicated their day to running sessions and providing constructive feedback during the event. Accordingly, we would like to thank Dr. Irit Hadar (University of Haifa), Prof. Dr. Manfred Reichert (University of Ulm), A/Prof. Selmin Nurcan (The University Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne) and Dr. Pnina So er (University of Haifa). Last but not least, we would like to thank the eight Ph.D. students for their presentations and contributions on the day of the event.
