This proceedings volume contains the papers of the scientific program of the IFIP Working Group 8.I working conference on Situational Method Engineering: Fundamentals and Experiences. The conference has been held from 12 to 14 September 2007 at the University of Geneva in Switzerland. Since the early 1980s, the IFIP WG8.1 working conferences have provided a forum for the presentation and exchange ofresearch results and practical experiences within the field of information systems development methods. After two successful Method Engineering conferences in Atlanta in 1996 and in Kanazawa in 2002, it is now time again to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas in and give a state of the art overview in Method Engineering. The conference programme features three invited keynote presentations, paper presentations and one interactive panel session. Besides, tutorials have been arranged to learn about the basics of Method Engineering. The format of a working conference allows for extensive paper discussions featured by discussant reviews in plenary sessions. Over the last decade Method Engineering, defined as the engineering discipline to design, construct and adapt methods, including supportive tools, has emerged as the research and application area for using methods for systems development.

Method Engineering focuses on the design, construction and evaluation of methods, techniques and support tools for information systems development It addresses a number of important topics, including: method representation formalisms; meta-modelling; situational methods; contingency approaches; system development practices of method engineering; terminology and reference models; ontologies; usability and experience reports; and organisational support and impact.

The rapid growth in Internet, World Wide Web and Intranet systems has led to a demand for increased sophistication in established information services, engineering techniques and methods to improve the development of information systems in a World Wide Web environment. This text addresses key state-of-the-art developments in Internet-based IS engineering. It contains selected papers presented and discussed at the International Conference on Engineering Information Systems in the Internet Context, which was sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and held in Kanazawa, Japan in September 2002.

This book describes the state-of-the-art of software ecosystems. It constitutes a fundamental step towards an empirically based, nuanced understanding of the implications for management, governance, and control of software ecosystems.This is the first book of its kind dedicated to this emerging field and offers guidelines on how to analyze software ecosystems; methods for managing and growing; methods on transitioning from a closed software organization to an open one; and instruments for dealing with open source, licensing issues, product management and app stores. It is unique in bringing together industry experiences, academic views and tackling challenges such as the definition of fundamental concepts of software ecosystems, describing those forces that influence its development and lifecycles, and the provision of methods for the governance of software ecosystems.This book is an essential starting point for software industry researchers, product managers, and entrepreneurs.Contributors: T.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Software Business, ICSOB 2018, held in Tallinn, Estonia, in June 2018. This year the conference theme was “How Digitalization Impacts Software Business” and focused on digitalization and its impact on the speed of business models and business modeling and the realization of these business models.The 11 full papers and 1 short paper presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 34 submissions. They were organized in topical sections named: software ecosystems; software product management and business models; and software start-ups.

This open access book defines the field of Smart Life and Smart Life Engineering, identifying a clear scope of what constitutes “smart” in the context of digital technologies, develops a cross-field perspective, provides insights into various related disciplines, and offers illustrative examples of existing works in the field.To this end, it contains thirteen chapters divided into four parts: “Fundamentals of Smart Life and Smart Life Engineering” begins with an exploration of the concept of Smart Life, defines a detailed taxonomy of smart applications and their evolution over time, and, finally, delivers a comprehensive review of social, behavioral, and ethical considerations. Next, “Conceptual Contributions to Smart Life” explores innovative ideas in smart environment, smart home, smart city, and smart tourism. Subsequently, “Smart Life Applications” examines real-world implementations and their impact on various domains including viticulture, elevators, and overtourism. Eventually, “Experience Reports of Smart Life Applications” presents smart city experiences of the cities of Leuven and Monserrate respectively.Written for researchers and industrial professionals from a very large set of fields, this book explores the fascinating domain of smart technologies and their impact on our daily lives and brings together the works around societal, methodological, and technological aspects of Smart Life.

This volume presents the proceedings of the sixth International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering, held in Utrecht, The Netherlands, in June 1994. The 30 contributions by researchers from industry and academia and by ambitioned professionals were selected from a total of 130 submissions after a highly competetive refereering process. The papers are organized in sections on development process support, workflow management, management and quality, object-oriented requirements engineering, behavioural modelling, advanced development tools, reuse, formal IS modelling, method engineering, and advanced database engineering. In total, the volume gives a thorough state-of-the-art report on current research and advanced applications in advanced information systems engineering.

Conceptual modeling has always been one of the cornerstones for information systems engineering as it describes the general knowledge of the system in the so-called conceptual schema.Krogstie, Opdahl and Brinkkemper compiled 20 contributions from renowned researchers covering all aspects of conceptual modeling on the occasion of Arne Sølvberg’s 67th birthday. Many friends of this information systems modeling pioneer happily contributed their latest research results from fields like data modeling, goal-oriented modeling, agent-oriented modeling, and process-oriented modeling. Overall, the contributions reflect the most important developments and application areas of conceptual modeling in recent years, and they also pinpoint trends in conceptual modeling for the next decade.This wide selection corresponds to the broad spectrum of Arne’s activities and long-term responsibilities with the VLDB Endowment, IFIP, and ERCIM. Arne was presented with this book at CAiSE 2007, when the event which he cofounded in 1989 returned to his hometown of Trondheim.
