Call for Participation

Thirteenth International Workshop on Exploring Modeling Methods in Systems Analysis and Design (EMMSAD'08) http://www.emmsad.org

Montpellier, France 16-17 June, 2008 (held in conjunction with CAiSE'08)

Registration: http://www.lirmm.fr/caise08/index.php?page=participant&a=add

Sponsors: Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE) International Federation for Information Processing Working Group 8.1 (IFIP WG 8.1) European Virtual Laboratory for Enterprise Interoperability (INTEROP-VLab) Association for Information Systems Special Interest Group on Systems Analysis and Design (AIS-SIGSAND)

Background:

The field of information systems analysis and design includes numerous information modeling methods and notations (e.g. ER, ORM, UML, DFDs, BPMN), that are typically evolving. Even with some attempts to standardize (e.g. UML for object-oriented design), new modeling methods are constantly being introduced, many of which differ only marginally from existing approaches. These ongoing changes significantly impact the way information systems are being analyzed and designed in practice.

This workshop focuses on exploring, evaluating, and enhancing current information modeling methods and methodologies. Though the need for such studies is well recognized, there is a paucity of such research in the literature. The objective of EMMSAD'08 is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners interested in modeling methods in systems analysis and design to meet, and exchange research ideas and results. It also provides the participants an opportunity to present their research papers and experience reports, and to take part in open discussions. EMMSAD'08 is the thirteenth in a very successful series of EMMSAD workshops, previously held in Heraklion, Barcelona, Pisa, Heidelberg, Stockholm, Interlaken, Toronto, Velden, Riga, Porto, Luxembourg and Trondheim.
