Advanced Information Systems Engineering

The growing demand for information systems ofever-increasing size, scope, and complexity has highlightedthe benefits that may be accrued from approaches whichrecognize the interrelationships between differenttechnological strands in the field of information systems. Typical examples of these areas include: system developmentmethods, CASE, requirements engineering, database design,and re-use. The CAiSE series of conferences provides theforum for the exchange of results and ideas within thesedifferent technological spheres from a single perspective,namely that of information systems development andmanagement. The 1992 conference, the fourth in the series,continues this tradition. This volume collects the papers accepted for the conference,with authors from 16 countries covering a wide range oftopics including: object-oriented analysis and designmethods, the development process and product support,requirements engineering, re-use, design approaches, anddeductive approaches.
