CONFERENCE AIMS & OBJECTIVES

Since the late 1980's, the CAiSE conferences provide a forum for presentation and exchange of research results and practical experiences within the field of Information Systems Engineering. CAiSE*99 will be held in Heidelberg, Germany, not only a beautiful site with the oldest university in Germany, but also close to numerous leading Information Systems Engineering companies in the Rhein-Main area around Frankfurt. In tune with this environment, a major theme of CAiSE*99 will be component- oriented information systems engineering.

CAiSE*99 aims at bringing together researchers, users, and practitioners in the field. The conference programme will feature paper presentations, workshops, tutorials, and interactive panel sessions.

CAiSE*99 is organized in cooperation with the Information Systems Engineering and Business Information Systems groups of GI, the German Informatics Society, and with AIS, the International Association for Information Systems.
