***************************************************************************

Dear Colleague,

We cordially invite you to submit your papers to the *** 28th International Conference on Exploring Modeling Methods for Systems Analysis and Development (EMMSAD'2023) *** that will be held in conjunction with CAiSE'23, Zaragoza, Spain, on June 12-13, 2023 (https://caise23.svit.usj.es/).

Objective & Scope ------------------------------------ The EMMSAD conference series provides a forum for researchers and practitioners interested in modeling methods for Systems Analysis and Development to meet and exchange research ideas and results. This includes standardized modeling methods (e.g. UML, ArchiMate, and BPMN) as well as new modeling methods that deal with emerging trends and technologies: Digital Transformation, Digital Twins, Digital Ecosystems, Big Data, Industry 4.0, IoT, Cyber-physical Systems, Blockchain, AI, etc. Theses interests are considered in the following disciplinary tracks:

1. Foundations of modeling & method engineering - Track Chairs: Jolita Ralyte & Janis Stirna 2. Enterprise, business, process & capability modeling - Track Chairs: Janis Grabis & Paul Grefen 3. Information Systems & requirements modeling - Track Chairs: Roman Lukyanenko & Marcela Ruiz 4. Domain-specific & knowledge modeling - Track Chairs: Tiago Prince Sales & Arnon Sturm 5. Evaluation of models & modeling approaches - Track Chairs: Renata Guizzardi & Qin Ma

*** More details on the tracks and their topics can be found at the end of this email and on the EMMSAD website.

*** EMMSAD'2023 will also support presentation of case reports on the creation and use of models, through the models-at-work initiative, for more details please visit https://www.models-at-work.org/.

Important dates: ------------------------------------ * Abstract submissions: March 5, 2023 (recommended) * Full paper submissions: March 12, 2023 * Notification of acceptance: April 7, 2023 * Camera-ready copies: April 17, 2023 * Conference: June 12-13, 2023 For further information, please visit the conference website http://www.emmsad.org/.

Submission & Publication: ------------------------------------ The working conference accepts long papers (up to 15 pages overall, including references and appendices) that report Completed Research or Research-In-Progress and short papers (up to 8 pages overall) reporting innovative ideas, experience, or tools. Only electronic submissions in PDF format, and in Springer's LNBIP style (See http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-791344-0) will be accepted through the conference management system available at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=caise2023, please select the "Exploring Modeling Methods for Systems Analysis and Development (EMMSAD)" track.

Top papers will be invited to submit an extended and enhanced version for consideration for publication in *** SoSyM -- Software and System Modelling journal ***.
