The 1st Workshop on Information Systems in Digital Engineering (ISDE) will be held in conjunction with the 15th Conference on Database Systems, Technology, and Web (BTW 2013) at the Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg on March the 12th, 2013. The ISDE brings together two vibrant communities: the database and information systems domain, and the digital engineering domain. We expect to establish cooperation and collaboration in theory and practice.

Scope

Today, most innovative products are software-intensive systems. As embedded software’s complexity grows, digital product components evolve from simple stateless controllers to fully-fledged software landscapes. Thus, more and more products and applications embed data management technologies. Digital engineering is an emerging trend that aims at bringing together traditional engineering (e.g., electrical engineering and mechanical engineering) with modern approaches in software and systems engineering. Today’s extension of data management to the domain of distributed realtime and embedded systems raises new questions and challenges. Fortunately, research and development of databases and information systems have a long and rich history as well as emerging trends and technologies in hard- and software.

The workshop discusses technologies and applications that manage digitally stored data for implementation of physical effects. Contributions may evaluate current trends in research, discuss functional or non-functional aspects in real-world projects, or close the gap between both addressed domains. Our explicit goal is to foster a future research agenda and to establish cooperation of the workshop participants in joint activities such as research projects and publications.

We invite original work from theoretical and applied science. Demonstrations are welcome too. Contributions must address the domain of databases and information systems as well as the domain of digital engineering, including but not limited to:
