*AMCIS 2020, Salt Lake City, Utah** **August 12-16, 2020* https://amcis2020.aisconferences.org/track-descriptions/#toggle-id-25

Mini-Track: *Modeling Languages, Methodologies, Methods, Techniques, and Tools* Track: *Systems Analysis and Design (SIGSAND)*

We kindly invite you to submit your papers to the SIGSAND minitrack: Modeling Languages, Methodologies, Methods, Techniques, and Tools

*Track Description:* Systems analysis involves examining business problems (opportunities) and identifying possible solutions, whereas systems design includes the identification, specification, and implementation of an information technology solution. The combined field of Systems Analysis and Design (SAND) deals with all issues related to the development of systems and, as such, is of central importance to the Information Systems discipline, including understanding how businesses can create value with new digital technologies. The SIGSAND track provides a forum for discussing research related to systems development tools, methodologies and other activities throughout the systems development life cycle (SDLC). This includes requirements determination, modeling techniques and languages, agile systems development practices, empirical evaluation of analysis and design methods, user involvement in systems development, open source development, design of systems architecture, and other technical and organizational issues in systems development. Minitrack scope:

*Minitrack Description:* This minitrack recognizes the important role modeling languages, methodologies, methods, and tools play in SAND. This minitrack provides a forum for researchers, educators, and practitioners working in the areas of modelling language development, use, modification, and evaluation. We are particularly interested in papers that combine conceptual modelling with emerging trends like Artificial Intelligence and in pieces that target the changing role modelling and models can take now and in future.

An objective of this minitrack is to work toward a more standardized set of concepts which would in turn benefit researchers, educators, and practitioners in this field while also considering recent developments in domain-specific conceptual modelling. We welcome empirical, conceptual, theoretical, and technical pieces, and are open to all research methods.

*Journal Fast-Track Opportunities:* The most promising submissions will be invited for a fast-track to the Journal of Database Management or Enterprise Modelling and Information Systems Architectures – International Journal of Conceptual Modeling.

Important dates:   *   January 06, 2020: System opens for general paper submissions   *   February 28, 2020: Deadline for paper submissions. PCS closes for authors at 5:00 p.m. MST   *   April 13, 2020: Notification of initial decision on submitted papers   *   April 22, 2020: Deadline for camera-ready revisions
