This volume presents the proceedings of the fifth Conferenceon Advanced Information Systems Engineering, CAiSE '93, heldat the University of Paris-Sorbonne in June 1993.Initiated by J. Bubenko from the Swedish Institute forSystems Development in Stockhom, Sweden, and A. Solvbergfrom the Norwegian Institute of Technology in Trondheim,Norway, this series of conferences evolved from a Nordicaudience to a truly European one. All the conferences haveattracted international papers of high quality, indicatingthe needfor an international conference on advancedinformation systems engineering topics.The spectrum of contributions contained in the presentproceedings extends from inevitable and still controversialissues regarding modeling of information systems, viadevelopment environments and experiences, to various novelviews forsomespecific aspects of information systemsdevelopment such as reuse, schema integration, andevolution.
