Evolving descriptions of software artifacts are frequently inconsistent, and tolerating this inconsistency is important if flexible collaborative working is to be supported. The workshop follows on two previous successful iterations at ICSE-97 and ICSE-01. The new iteration is motivated by the recognition of the growing importance that inconsistency management has acquired over the last few years. Many excellent research papers have recently appeared in multiple and dispersed venues which denotes a rekindled interest in the area. Thus we want to capitalize on this renewed interest and provide a venue for researchers and practitioners to gather and exchange ideas. We want to thank Tom Mens for giving the keynote entitled Approaches to Software Model Inconsistency Management.
