“Web Engineering: Modelling and Implementing Web Applications” presents the state of the art approaches for obtaining a correct and complete Web software product from conceptual schemas, represented via well-known design notations.

Describing mature and consolidated approaches to developing complex applications, this edited volume is divided into three parts and covers the challenges web application developers face; design issues for web applications; and how to measure and evaluate web applications in a consistent way.

With contributions from leading researchers in the field this book will appeal to researchers and students as well as to software engineers, software architects and business analysts.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 35th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering, CAiSE 2023, which was held in Zaragoza, Spain, during June 12-16, 2023.

The 36 full papers included in these proceedings were selected from 161 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: Cyber-human and cyber-physical systems; requirements engineering; IoT; environmental applications; process mining; event-driven process mining; ontology and knowledge representation; model-driven approaches; process monitoring; conformance, compliance and workarounds; data-centric approaches; privacy and security; explainable AI; service-related approaches.

The two-volume set LNBIP 547 + LNBIP 548 constitutes the proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Research Challenges in Information Sciences, RCIS 2025, which took place in Seville, Spain, in May 2025. It focused on the special theme: Advancing Information Science and Information Systems Quality in the Era of Complexity.

The scope of RCIS is summarized by the thematic areas of information systems and their engineering; user-oriented approaches; data and information management; business process management; domain-specific information systems engineering; data science; information infrastructures, and reflective research and practice.

The 33 full papers and 13 short papers included in the proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from 103 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows:

Part I: Information systems quality; security, risk and strategy; conceptual modeling and ontologies; modeling methods and requiremments engineering; databases informaiton management; human factors in information systems; business process engineering and management; 

Part II: Machine-learning and generative AI applications; RCIS Forum; and RCIS Doctoral Consortium.

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 8th IFIP WG 8.1 Conference on the Practice of Enterprise Modeling held in November 2015 in Valencia, Spain. The PoEM conference series started in 2008 and aims to provide a forum sharing knowledge and experiences between the academic community and practitioners from industry and the public sector.

The 23 short papers accepted were carefully reviewed and selected from 72 submissions and are organized in eight sections on Evolving Enterprises, Securing Enterprises, Making Empirical Studies, Investigating Enterprise Methods, Acquiring User Information, Managing Risks and Threats, Engineering Methods, and Making Decisions in Enterprises. 

This bookconstitutes the proceedings of the 22nd International Working Conference onRequirements Engineering – Foundation for Software Quality, REFSQ 2016, held inGothenburg, Sweden, in March 2016. The 16 full papers and 5 short papers presented in this volume were carefullyreviewed and selected from 64 submissions. The papers were organized in topicalsections named: decision making in requirements engineering; open source inrequirements engineering; natural language; compliance in requirementsengineering; requirements engineering in the automotive domain; empiricalstudies in requirements engineering; requirements engineering foundations;human factors in requirements engineering; and research methodology inrequirements engineering. 

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Model and Data Engineering, MEDI 2016, held in Almería, Spain, in September 2016.

The 17 full papers and 10 short papers presented together with 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 62 submissions. The papers range on a wide spectrum covering fundamental contributions, applications and tool developments and improvements in model and data engineering activities.

Conceptual modeling has always been one of the main issues in information systems engineering as it aims to describe the general knowledge of the system at an abstract level that facilitates user understanding and software development.

This collection of selected papers provides a comprehensive and extremely readable overview of what conceptual modeling is and perspectives on making it more and more relevant in our society. It covers topics like modeling the human genome, blockchain technology, model-driven software development, data integration, and wiki-like repositories and demonstrates the general applicability of conceptual modeling to various problems in diverse domains. Overall, this book is a source of inspiration for everybody in academia working on the vision of creating a strong, fruitful and creative community of conceptual modelers.

With this book the editors and authors want to honor Prof. Antoni Olivé for his enormous and ongoing contributions to the conceptual modeling discipline. It was presented to him on the occasion of his keynote at ER 2017 in Valencia, a conference that he has contributed to and supported for over 20 years. Thank you very much to Antoni for so many years of cooperation and friendship.
