The aim of this volume is to provide a forum for the research and practices addressing current issues associated with Information Systems Development (ISD). Every day, new technologies, applications, and methods raise the standards for the quality of systems expected by organizations as well as end users. All are becoming dependent on systems reliability, scalability, and performance. Thus, it is crucial to exchange ideas and experiences, and to stimulate exploration of new solutions. This proceedings provides a forum for both technical and organizational issues.

Through the years this seminar has evolved into one of most prestigious conferences in the field. ISD Conference provides an international forum for the exchange of ideas between the research community and practitioners and offers a venue where ISD related educational issues are discussed.
