Fourteenth International Conference on Exploring Modeling Methods in Systems Analysis and Design (EMMSAD�09) http://www.emmsad.org

Amsterdam, The Netherlands 8-9 June, 2009 (held in conjunction with CAiSE�09 )

Submissions due: 18 February 2009

Sponsors:

Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE) International Federation for Information Processing Working Group 8.1 (IFIP WG 8.1) Association for Information Systems Special Interest Group on Systems Analysis and Design (AIS-SIGSAND) INTEROP Vlab North Pole

IFIP WG8.1 (http://home.dei.polimi.it/pernici/ifip81/) has supported EMMSAD since 1997. The European INTEROP Network of Excellence (http://interop.aquitaine-valley.fr/) and the Association for Information Systems Special Interest Group on Systems Analysis and Design (http://nfp.cba.utulsa.edu/bajaja/Sigsand/ ) have been supporters since 2005. As of 2007, EMMSAD is officially linked to the CAiSE conference series on a regular basis.

Background:

The field of information systems analysis and design includes numerous evolving information modeling methods, notations and approaches (e.g. ER, ORM, UML, BPMN, DSM). Even with some attempts to standardize (e.g. UML for object-oriented design), new modeling methods are 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.

The EMMSAD events focus 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�09 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�09 is the 14th in a very successful series of events, previously held in Heraklion, Barcelona, Pisa, Heidelberg, Stockholm, Interlaken, Toronto, Velden, Riga, Porto, Luxembourg, Trondheim and Montpellier.

Topics of Interest:

Relevant topics include (but are not limited to) theoretical and/or empirical or case-based exploration of modeling methods and methodologies in a systems analysis and design context. The topics of interest include general modeling issues such as: � Modeling languages � The process of modeling � Quality of models & modeling approaches � The reasons for modeling and their impact on the modeling languages and processes � Experiences in modeling � Theoretical/philosophical foundations of modeling

and/or specific strategies for modeling, including (but not limited to): � Active Knowledge Modeling � Agile Modeling � Aspect-Oriented Modeling � Method Engineering � Model-Driven Development and Architecture (MDD-MDA) � Object Oriented Methods and Methodologies � Ontologies and the semantic web � Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) � Unified Modeling Language (UML) and Unified Process (UP)

and/or modeling of specific aspects, including (but not limited to): � Business Process Modeling and Improvement � Business Rule Modeling � Database Modeling � Workflow Modeling � E-Business and M-Business Models and Architectures � Enterprise Modeling, Architecture, and Enterprise Governance � Information Modelling (ER, ORM etc.) � Interactive models � Meta-modeling � Requirements modeling � Knowledge Engineering and Management � Modeling of security and trust � User Interface modeling

and/or modeling in the context of specific classes of systems, including (but not limited to): � Agent-oriented information systems � Enterprise Systems and Supply Chain Integration � Mobile and Ubiquitous Information Systems � Web information systems

Important dates (2009):

Abstract submission: February 15 Paper submissions: February 18 Notification of acceptance: March 13 Camera-ready copies: March 20 Conference: June 8-9

Submission guidelines:

The conference accepts two types of submissions - Completed Research and Research-In-Progress. Completed research papers should include analysis of data and discussion on research findings. Research-in-progress papers report on research that is well under way with preliminary research results available at the time of the conference.

- For both types of papers, the paper should not exceed 13 pages using the correct style (including references and appendices). The paper may refer to a theoretical analysis of a scientific challenge, as well as the presentation of a solution to an identified scientific challenge. - The first page should begin with the title of the paper, author names (contact author underlined), affiliations, and e-mail addresses, followed by an abstract of no more than 150 words. - The paper should be formatted according to the Springer LNBIP format

Only electronic submissions in Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF format are accepted. E-mail your abstract (by February 15) to krogstie@idi.ntnu.no. Submit the full paper (by February 18) using the conference management system available at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=emmsad09 or alternatively as an attachment to krogstie@idi.ntnu.no

Accepted papers will be published in the EMMSAD conference proceedings, which will be provided in the LNBIP series by Springer Verlag, and should use the Springer LNBIP style, see http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-487211-0 . Top papers in the completed research category may also be considered (after extension and enhancement) either for chapters in a book to be edited by the workshop co-chairs, or for journal publications.
