Theme: Information systems for connecting people
Information systems are developed by people and for people. The
theme “Information systems for connecting people” emphasizes the
wish to satisfy the needs and requirements of people, both as
individuals and as parts of organizations, which are
socio-technical systems.
In particular, this theme emphasizes the role of information
systems in communication among individuals, organisational units,
and organizations themselves. It may also imply knowledge
building and knowledge sharing, all kinds of decision making,
negotiating and reaching agreements, bridging differences and
distances among various points-of-view, perspectives, positions
and/or cultures.
Information systems that satisfy these are usually communication
and cooperation-intensive systems. Examples include, on the
individual side, collaborative applications and social networks,
and on the organizational side, globalization and interoperability
support, inter-organizational processes, enterprise computing,
social computing, and more. The sociality is also a new paradigm
when applied to information systems. Developing such systems
requires a good understanding of (i) how an individual operates,
(ii) how the intentions and goals of an individual can be aligned
with the organizational ones, (ii) how individual capabilities as
well as limitations are represented and taken into account or
alleviated in system design. Combined with state-of-the-art
technology, this understanding will guide the development of next
generation information systems.
We believe that those principles will challenge and question
research efforts in information systems engineering during the
next decade and will also nurture multi-disciplinary research.
Research related to this theme can address all life-cycle phases
of information systems that connect people, from human and
organizational requirements to utilization of data created by such
systems.

Author Guidelines
Types of contributions
We invite four types of original and scientific papers:
- Formal and/or technical papers describe original solutions
(theoretical, methodological or conceptual) in the field of IS
engineering. A technical paper should clearly describe the
situation or problem tackled, the relevant state of the art, the
position or solution suggested and the potential – or, even
better, the evaluated – benefits of the contribution.
- Empirical evaluation papers evaluate existing problem situations
or validate proposed solutions with scientific means, i.e. by
empirical studies, experiments, case studies, simulations, formal
analyses, mathematical proofs, etc. Scientific reflection on
problems and practices in industry also falls into this category.
The topic of the evaluation presented in the paper as well as its
causal or logical properties must be clearly stated. The research
method must be sound and appropriate.
- Experience papers present problems or challenges encountered in
practice, relate success and failure stories, or report on
industrial practice. The focus is on ‘what’ and on lessons
learned, not on an in-depth analysis of ‘why’. The practice must
be clearly described and its context must be given. Readers should
be able to draw conclusions for their own practice.
- Exploratory Papers can describe completely new research
positions or approaches, in order to face to a generic situation
arising because of new ICT tools or new kinds of activities or new
IS challenges. They must describe precisely the situation and
demonstrate how current methods, tools, ways of reasoning, or
meta-models are inadequate. They must rigorously present their
approach and demonstrate its pertinence and correctness to
addressing the identified situation.
Submission Conditions
Papers should be submitted in PDF format. The results described
must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere.
Submissions must conform to Springer’s LNCS format and should not
exceed 15 pages, including all text, figures, references and
appendices. Submissions not conforming to the LNCS format,
exceeding 15 pages, or being obviously out of the scope of the
conference, will be rejected without review. Information about the
Springer LNCS format can be found at
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. Three to five
keywords characterizing the paper should be indicated at the end
of the abstract. The type of paper (technical/empirical
evaluation/experience/exploratory paper) should be indicated in
the submission.
Submission is done through CyberChair (see
http://caise2016.si/)

Publication
Accepted papers will be presented at CAiSE ’16 and published in
the conference proceedings, which is published in the Springer
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Authors elected best
papers from the conference will be invited to submit an expanded
version for publication in the journal, Information Systems.
