                         CAiSE 2024 Doctoral Consortium Proceedings
                         Preface
                         This volume of CEUR-WS proceedings contains all accepted papers of the Doctoral
                         Consortium (DC), held in conjunction with the 36th International Conference on Advanced
                         Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE 2024). This edition of CAiSE was held in Limassol,
                         Cyprus, from June 3 to 7, 2024.

                         Following the tradition of the CAiSE conference, CAiSE 2024 DC attracted PhD students
                         working on foundations, techniques, tools and applications in the Information Systems
                         Engineering field. The DC offered them the opportunity to present their research, to get
                         feedback from senior mentors in the CAiSE community, and discuss their progress and future
                         plans with an audience of peers and senior faculty in a supportive environment.

                         CAiSE 2024 DC received a total of 8 submissions, all of which have been reviewed by two
                         senior researchers of the DC mentoring board and all of them were eventually accepted for
                         presentation during the event. Each student was assigned a mentor to provide feedback
                         before the presentation. The timely and relevant advice provided during the review phase, as
                         well as during the pre-conference mentorship phase allowed the PhD candidates to revise
                         their submission, but also to effectively prepare themselves for their presentations and
                         discussions on-site.

                         The event started with dynamic pitches at the beginning of the main conference to boost PhD
                         students’ visibility to the CAiSE community. This was followed by three sessions, during which
                         the PhD students gave their presentations, collected questions and feedback from the
                         audience and finally discussed their research in small groups together with their peers, senior
                         researchers and with the assigned mentor. The students received direct feedback, advice,
                         and recommendations to further improve their overall PhD research plans, but also on
                         research challenges, and strategies going beyond their own PhD topics.

                         During the DC, we also had a panel on “Choosing the Right Path: Exploring Research
                         Methodologies in Information Systems Engineering”. Four excellent panelists provided their
                         insights on the topic: Diego Calvanese (University of Bolzano), Xavier Franch (Universitat
                         Politècnica de Catalunya), Monique Snoeck (KU Leuven) and Jelena Zdrakovich (Stockholm
                         University). In particular, they offered critical insights into methodological rigor and discussed
                         different research methodologies.

                         Finally, two more informal events complemented the DC: an informal lunch with mentors and
                         a meeting with a recent PhD graduate (Glenda Amaral), who won CAiSE 2024 PhD award
                         and shared her experience on topics ranging from research directions up to personal life-work
                         balance.

                         We express our utmost gratitude to all participating students for their presentations as well as
                         to all mentors who were involved in the reviewing process before, during and after the event:
