The 25th International Conference on Exploring Modeling Methods for Systems

Analysis and Development (EMMSAD’2020)

held in conjunction with CAiSE’20, Grenoble, France

http://www.emmsad.org/ @EMMSADconf

Submission deadline: March 9th, 2020 (Abstract – March 2nd)

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

Background and Aims: ******************** EMMSAD is a well-established two-day international working conference in conjunction with CAiSE (http://www.emmsad.org/). The objective of EMMSAD series is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners interested in modeling methods for Systems Analysis and Development (SA&D), including enterprise, business process, information system (IS), and domain-specific modeling, to meet and exchange research ideas and results.

Topics: ******* Foundations of modeling & method engineering: Chairs: Jolita Ralyte & Janis Stirna * Definition and representation * Agility in method engineering * Situational method engineering * Maturity and quality of methods * Method adaptation, extension and configuration

Enterprise, business, process & capability modeling: Chairs: Janis Grabis & Paul Grefen * Enterprise modeling approaches, architectures, and platforms * Business models and ecosystems * Modeling data-driven organizations * Business process modeling, architectures, and evolution * Reference modeling * Capability-driven development

IS & requirements modeling: Chairs: Oscar Pastor & Marcela Ruiz * Model-Driven development * Requirements modeling for emerging technologies such as big data and AI * Modeling in agile development * Crowd-based and collaborative modeling * Quality & NFRs of models and modeling * Traceability between software artifacts * Experience in practice and education

Domain-specific & ontology modeling: Chairs: Dimitris Karagiannis & Arnon Sturm * Metamodel and model engineering * Design of DSLs and supporting tools * Multi-level and multi-perspective modeling * Ontology and domain-specific analogy * Practices of/with ontology and DSM * AI and DSM

Evaluation of modeling approaches: Chairs: Agnes Koschmider & Geert Poels * Empirical evaluation * Formal evaluation * Evaluation through practice * (Re)Design of modeling approaches * New methods for model or modeling evaluation

Important Dates: **************** * Abstract submissions: March 2, 2020 (recommended) * Full paper submissions: March 7, 2020 * Notification of acceptance: March 30, 2020 * Camera-ready copies: April 8, 2020 * Conference: June 8-9, 2020

Submission & Publication: ************************** The working conference accepts long papers that report Completed Research or Research-In-Progress and short papers reporting innovative ideas, experience, or tools. * Completed research papers should not only discuss research findings, but also the initial research objectives, the research methodology used, as well as its appropriateness and its execution. * Research-in-progress papers report on research that is well under way with preliminary results available at the time of the conference. These papers should clearly identify the research objectives of the ongoing research effort, the research methodology used, and the progress made so-far. * Idea papers may present completely new research approaches or adaptation of existing approaches to new types of emerging challenges. The papers should precisely describe the shortcomings of current methods, the innovative aspects of the suggested approach, and its potential to make change. * Experience reports are expected to report on work done in a context of a real-life organization. They should describe the practical goals of the work, the organizational/business context, the methods or theories used, and the lessons learnt. * Tool demonstration papers should be related to the conference topics. They should include the research background and application context, the key technologies used, the novelty of the tool, and its limitations.

Please use the following format for your submissions: * Long papers (Completed Research and Research-in-Progress) should not exceed 15 pages (including references and appendices). * Short papers (idea papers, experience reports, and tool demonstration) should not exceed 8 pages (including references and appendices). The presentation of these papers may take an interactive form (e.g., a poster or a demo session).

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/my/conference?conf=emmsad2020.

The proceedings with the accepted papers will be published in *** Springer's LNBIP series ***. Top papers will be invited to submit an extended and enhanced version for consideration for publication in *** SoSyM – Software and System Modelling journal *** (2-years IF for 2018: 2.660; Q1 in software engineering). The best paper will be awarded.
