The CAiSE Forum 2013 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.
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 CAiSE Forum 2013 proceedings represent a collection of 21 excellent short research papers and demos. The selection of Forum papers was very competitive, due to the high standard of the submitted papers. Several innovative papers initially submitted to the CAiSE conference were selected for the CAiSE Forum to stimulate open discussions of high quality on on-going research.
We devote a special thanks to the members of the international program committee for providing excellent reviews of the submitted papers. Their dedicated work was vital for putting together a high-quality working conference.
