CAISE’2011 Forum

                                       Preface
   The CAISE conference theme is linked this year with the coming Olympic and
Paralympic Games, which bring together athletes from all the continents to celebrate
sporting excellence but also human diversity. Diversity is an important concept for
modern information systems. Information Systems (IS) are diverse by nature, as well
as the processes for constructing such systems, their developers, their users… It is
therefore the responsibility of the IS Engineering community to engineer information
systems that operate in such diverse world. During the two last decades, essential
challenges made their appearance in the area of Information Systems related to
engineering, quality and interconnectivity of information systems.
   The CAiSE’11 Forum is a place within the CAiSE conference for presenting and
discussing new ideas and tools related to information systems engineering. Intended
to serve as an interactive platform, the forum aims at the presentation of fresh ideas,
emerging new topics, controversial positions, as well as demonstration of innovative
systems, tools and applications. The Forum session at the CAiSE conference will
facilitate the interaction, discussion, and exchange of ideas among presenters and
participants.
   Two types of submissions have been invited to the Forum:
(1) Visionary short papers that present innovative research projects, which are still at
a relatively early stage and do not necessarily include a full-scale validation.
(2) Demo papers describing innovative tools and prototypes that implement the results
of research efforts. The tools and prototypes will be presented as demos in the Forum.
   CAISE’11 Forum has received a record number of 46 submissions from 24
countries (Argentine, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, France, Germany,
Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Norway,
Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States of
America). Among the submissions, 25 are demo papers and 21 are visionary papers.
   The management of paper submission and reviews was supported by the EasyChair
conference system. Selecting the papers to be accepted has been a worthwhile effort.
All papers received three reviews from the members of the Program Committee and
the Program Board. Eventually, 23 high quality papers have been selected; among
them 16 demo papers and 7 visionary papers.
   The CAISE’11 Pre-Proceedings available on this electronic support represent a
collection of those 23 short research papers. Those papers included in the special
proceedings issue titled “CAiSE’11 Forum” are published by CEUR.
   After CAiSE’11, authors of the selected papers will be invited to submit an
extended version of their papers for post-proceedings that will be published as a
Springer LNBIP volume.
   As the CAISE’11 Forum chair, I would like to express my gratitude to the Forum
Program Board and the Program Committee for their efforts in providing very
thorough evaluations of the submitted Forum papers. I wish also to thank all authors
who submitted papers to the Forum for having shared their work with us.
   Last but not least, I would like to thank the CAISE’11 Program Committee Chairs
and the Local Organisation Committee for their support.
