Advanced Information Systems Engineering Workshops

The CAiSE 2026 workshops, held on 8–9 June 2026 in Verona as part of the 38th CAiSE conference, provided a forum for the Information Systems Engineering community to discuss emerging research directions and complementary topics to the main conference theme, “Rethinking Information Systems Engineering in a continuously changing information systems world.” This volume collects the papers presented across the workshops, covering areas such as synthetic data generation, digital twins, large language models, blockchain, autonomous systems, AI-driven compliance, hybrid AI, enterprise modeling, and process-aware information systems. The workshops received 67 submissions, of which 25 full papers and 8 short papers were accepted through a single-blind review process involving three reviewers per submission. The volume reflects the breadth of current research in Information Systems Engineering, combining foundational contributions, exploratory work, keynote presentations, and focused discussions. It also acknowledges the essential contributions of workshop organizers, program committees, reviewers, authors, and the CAiSE organization team, presenting the proceedings as both a record of the event and a stimulus for future research.
