CAiSE 2015

   CAiSE is a well-established highly visible conference series on Information
Systems Engineering.
   The CAiSE 2015 Doctoral Consortium is the 22nd Doctoral Consortium of a series
held in conjunction with the CAiSE conference series. It is intended to bring together
PhD students working on foundations, techniques, tools and applications of
Information Systems Engineering and provide them with an opportunity to present
and discuss their research to an audience of peers and senior faculty in a supportive
environment, as well as to participate in a number of plenary sessions with
Information Systems academics.
   The goals of the Doctoral Consortium are:

    •   To provide fruitful feedback and advice to the selected PhD students on their
        research project.
    •   To provide the opportunity to meet experts from different backgrounds
        working on topics related to the Information Systems Engineering field.
    •   To interact with other PhD students and stimulate an exchange of ideas and
        suggestions among participants.
    •   To provide the opportunity to discuss concerns about research, supervision,
        the job market, and other career-related issues.
   Participants to the Doctoral Consortium were current doctoral students within a
recognized university, with at least 6-12 months work remaining before expected
completion (and at least 12 months of work already performed).
  The CAiSE 2015 Doctoral Consortium received 14 submissions from 11 countries
(Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy,
Macedonia, Morocco, Tunisia).
   The management of paper submission and reviews was supported by the EasyChair
conference system. All doctoral papers received two reviews from members of the
Program Committee and each one was also considered by the Doctoral Consortium
Chairs. Eventually, 9 doctoral papers were presented during CAiSE’2015 and are
included in these proceedings.
  We would like to express our gratitude to the members of Doctoral Consortium
Program Committee for their efforts in providing very thorough evaluations of the
submitted doctoral papers. We wish also to thank all PhD students who submitted
papers to the Doctoral Consortium for having shared their work with us.
  Last but not least, we would like to thank the CAiSE 2015 Program Committee
Chairs and the Local Organisation Committee for their support.

CAiSE PhD Award
   From CAiSE 2015, a “CAiSE PhD Award” has been initiated. Each year, an award
will be offered to a PhD defended in the last two years. The award will consist of a
free full registration (5 days) to the next two CAiSE conferences.
  The PhD thesis submitted for the award will be reviewed by a standing committee
composed of the members of the CAiSE Advisory Committee, the CAiSE Steering
Committee and on-going CAiSE Program Committee Chairs.
   The condition to apply for the “CAiSE PhD Award” is having participated as an
author to a previous CAiSE Doctoral Consortium and having defended the PhD thesis
in the last two years.
   The candidates to the CAiSE PhD Award should be nominated by their thesis
advisor or the application of the candidate should be accompanied by a support letter
from the thesis advisor.
  Remain connected to the on-going CAiSE web site to be informed about the
application process to the CAiSE PhD Award of the given year.
