The CAiSE Industrial track was held on the last day of the CAiSE conference, just after the Keynote presentation by Ricardo Baeza-Yates. The CAISE Industrial was conceived to provide practitioners with an opportunity to publish experience reports of potential interest to the researcher and practitioner communities. The track was organized by Yves Pigneur from the University of Lausanne,

The paper discusses the use of Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) for Product Lifecycle Management in the aeronautics industry. It reports that introducing MDE in companies can be quite difficult.

Andreas Eberhardt presented the paper titled "Transformation of IT systemssocially acceptable, efficient, successful co-authored with Pierre-Yves Cloux. The authors describe two Paradoxes where IT is essential for companies but is continually challenged on cost and where IT legacy is viewed as negative whereas in other domains legacy is often positive. This results in often rushed outsourcing initiatives. The authors propose a more planned IT strategy where only what is necessary is outsourced while complying with ethical and political constraints.

The three first papers describe collaborations between research and practice. They are akin to action research in which the researchers immerse themselves in practice, reporting back what they have observed. The fourth paper is the result of a different approach. It is the work of two practitioners who reflected on the practice prevalent in their industry and formulated alternative courses of action, with no connexion with research.

In the panel session two panel were organized:

Gil Regev organized the panel entitled: "The relationship between IS research and industry. What do they learn from one another?" whose main objective was to explore the relationship between IS research and industry, analyze what they can learn from one another and try to formulate ideas for more knowledge transfer between them.

Tanja Vos and Nelly Condori-Fernández organized the panel entitled: "Successful Empirical Research in Software Testing with Industry" whose main objective was to provide answers to the the following question: Why is it so difficult to introduce software testing research into testing practice?. In the panel this question was answered by identifying obstacles and challenges from two different perspectives: Industry and Academy.
