Making systems easier to use implies an ever increasing complexity in managing communication between users and applications. Indeed an increasing part of the application code is devoted to the user interface portion. In order to manage this complexity, it is important to have tools, notations, and methodologies which support the designer’s work during the refinement process from specification to implementation. Selected revised papers from the Eurographics workshop in Namur review the state of the art in this area, comparing the different existing approaches to this field in order to identify the principle requirements and the most suitable notations, and indicate the meaningful results which can be obtained from them.

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.
