ThisvolumecontainsthepaperspresentedattheFifthInternationalSymposium on Foundations of Information and Knowledge Systems (FoIKS 2008) which was held in Pisa, Italy during February 11-15, 2008. On behalf of the Program Committee we commend these papers to you and hope you ?nd them useful. The FoIKS symposia provide a biennial forum for presenting and discussing theoreticalandappliedresearchoninformationandknowledgesystems.Thegoal is to bring together researchers with an interest in this subject, share research experiences, promote collaboration and identify new issues and directions for future research. FoIKS 2008 solicited original contributions dealing with any foundational aspect of information and knowledge systems, including submissions from - searchersworkingin?eldssuchasdiscretemathematics,logicandalgebra,model theory,informationtheory,complexitytheory,algorithmicsandcomputation,- ometry,analysis,statistics and optimizationwho areinterested in applying their ideas, theories and methods to research on information and knowledge systems. Previous FoIKS symposia were held in Budapest (Hungary) in 2006, - enna (Austria) in 2004, Schloß Salzau near Kiel (Germany) in 2002, and Burg / Spreewald near Berlin (Germany) in 2000. FoIKS took up the tradition of the conference series Mathematical Fundamentals of Database Systems (MFDBS), which initiated East-West collaboration in the ?eld of database theory. Former MFDBS conferences were held in Rostock (Germany) in 1991, Visegrad (H- gary) in 1989, and Dresden (Germany) in 1987.

Furthermore, participants are asked in - vance to prepare as correspondents to a contribution of another author.

This book constitutes the refereed joint proceedings of seven international workshops held in conjunction with the 27th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, ER 2008, in Barcelona, Spain, in October 2008. The 42 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 108 submissions. Topics addressed by the workshops are conceptual modeling for life sciences applications (CMLSA 2008), evolution and change in data management (ECDM 2008), foundations and practices of UML (FP-UML 2008), modeling mobile applications and services (M2AS 2008), requirements, intentions and goals in conceptual modeling (RIGiM 2008), semantic and conceptual issues in geographic information systems (SeCoGIS 2008), and Web information systems modeling (WISM 2008).
