CAiSE 2004 marked the 16th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering, hosted by the Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology at Riga Technical University, Latvia. Since the late 1980s, these conferences have served as a platform for sharing research and practical experiences in Information Systems Engineering. The 2004 theme focused on Knowledge and Model Driven Information Systems Engineering for Networked Organizations. Modern businesses and IT systems now navigate a complex environment defined by openness, variety, and change. Organizations are becoming less self-sufficient, increasingly reliant on business partners and other stakeholders, necessitating greater interoperability among systems. The diversity in business operations is expanding, leading to a growing demand for varied competencies within the workforce. Additionally, the technological landscape is saturated with numerous languages, platforms, devices, standards, and products. Organizations must also adapt to a rapidly changing environment, where lead times, product life cycles, and partner relationships are continuously evolving. This ongoing need to align IT with shifting technologies and business practices has sparked innovative concepts that may significantly influence future information systems engineering, including autonomic computing, component and services marketplaces, and dynamically generated software.
