The 38 revised full papers presented were carefully selected and improved during two rounds of reviewing and revision. The papers are organized in topical sections on management of time and changes in information systems; architectures, models, and tools for systems evolution; conceptual modeling approaches to mobile information systems development; quality of conceptual models; requirements and entity relationship models; class models and architectures; Web and interactive models; processes, models, and Web services; e-business methods and technologies; and success factors for conceptual modeling in e-business.
