Call for Workshop Proposals CAiSE'09, 8-12th June 2009, 
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
 
The theme of the 21th CAiSE is Information Systems for 
Business Innovation: The Next Wave'. The workshops associated 
with the conference will explore how information systems can 
support co-evolving innovations in networked organizations. 
 
CAiSE'09 invites proposals for workshops to be held in 
conjunction with the conference, related to the CAiSE topics, and 
covering new emerging topics, in particular. Workshop proposals 
should be submitted to the workshop chairs, Paul Johannesson 
[pajo@dsv.su.se] and Eric Dubois [eric.dubois@tudor.lu]. Prior 
contact with the workshop chairs is encouraged. 

The organizer(s) of approved workshops will be responsible for 
advertising their workshop, for the reviewing process for their 
workshop's papers, and for the collection of camera-ready copies 
of accepted papers (verifying that they comply with the formatting 
rules). Organizers (including co-organizers) are expected to attend 
their entire workshop and to provide a summary of the event, for 
presentation to CAiSE organizers.
