The growing demand for information systems of
ever-increasing size, scope, and complexity has highlighted
the benefits that may be accrued from approaches which
recognize the interrelationships between different
technological strands in the field of information systems.
Typical examples of these areas include: system development
methods, CASE, requirements engineering, database design,
and re-use. The CAiSE series of conferences provides the
forum for the exchange of results and ideas within these
different technological spheres from a single perspective,
namely that of information systems development and
management. 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 of
topics including: object-oriented analysis and design
methods, the development process and product support,
requirements engineering, re-use, design approaches, and
deductive approaches.
