ASDENCA 2014

The International Workshop on Advances in Services DEsign based on the Notion of CApabiliy (ASDENCA 2014) was a one-day workshop organized on the 17th of June 2014 in Thessaloniki, Greece, in conjunction with CAiSE 2014, the 26th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering.

ASDENCA 2014 focused on the notion of capability, which is gaining much presence within the field of Information Systems Engineering. Historically, it has been examined in Economics, Sociology, and Management Science. More recently, it has been considered in the context of business-IT alignment, in the specification and design of services using business planning as the baseline, in Enterprise Architecture, and in Service Oriented Architecture.

Contributions to ASDENCA 2014 included original research exploring the challenges and solutions related to the meaning and usage of capability in Information Systems Engineering, as well as industrial case studies illustrating the use of this notion.
