New information systems will span different organizations and geographical locations. To support such functions, information systems need to be scalable. A new breed of information modeling methods and methodologies needs to be engineered to support these new endeavors. We are particularly interested in research papers that directly address the theme of this workshop. Evaluation of new software development approaches such as UML is strongly encouraged.
Research methodologies involving case studies, action research, and experience reports are welcome.
Completed research papers should include analysis of data and discussion on research findings. Top papers in this category will be recommended for journal publication or for inclusion as book chapters. Include a cover page with title of paper as well as the authors names, affiliations, phones, faxes, and email addresses. The second page should begin with the title of the paper followed by an abstract of no more than 150 words. The main text will follow the abstract.
