EMMSAD'2010 15th International Conference on Modelling Methods in Systems Analysis and Design (EMMSAD'10) http://www.emmsad.org http://www.emmsad.org/ Hammamet, Tunisia, 7-8 June, 2010 (held in conjunction with CAiSE'10)

Submissions due: 11 February 2010 (abstracts), 18 February 2010 (papers)

Sponsors * Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE). As of 2007, EMMSAD is officially linked to the CAiSE conference series on a regular basis. * The Enterprise Engineering Network. * International Federation for Information Processing Working Group 8.1. IFIP WG8.1 has sponsored EMMSAD since 1997. * Association for Information Systems Special Interest Group on Systems Analysis and Design (AIS-SIGSAND). The AIS-SIGSAND has been a sponsor since 2005. * INTEROP-VLab North Pole and the predecessor Interop has been a sponsor since 2005.

Background Several modelling techniques for the analysis and design of enterprises, business processes and information systems are in existence. The field includes numerous modelling methods, notations and approaches (e.g. ER, ORM, UML, ArchiMate, EPC, BPMN and DEMO). Even with some attempts to standardise (e.g. UML for object-oriented software design and ArchiMate for enterprise architecture), new modelling methods are being introduced, many of which differ only marginally from existing approaches. These ongoing changes significantly impact the way enterprises, business processes and information systems are being analysed and designed in practice. The EMMSAD conference focuses on exploring, evaluating, and enhancing current systems modeling methods and methodologies, where systems can refer to enterprises, business processes, as well as information systems. Though the need for such studies is well recognised, there is a paucity of such research in the literature. The objective of the EMMSAD series of conferences is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners interested in modelling methods for 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'10 is the 15th in a very successful series of EMMSAD events, previously held in Heraklion, Barcelona, Pisa, Heidelberg, Stockholm, Interlaken, Toronto, Velden, Riga, Porto, Luxembourg, Trondheim, Montpellier and Amsterdam. As of 2007, EMMSAD is officially linked to the CAiSE conference series.

Topics of Interest Relevant topics include theoretical and/or empirical or case-based exploration of modeling methods and methodologies in a systems analysis and design context, where systems include enterprises, business processes as well as information systems. The topics of interest include general modelling issues, such as: * Modelling languages * Quality of models & modelling * The process of modelling * Specific strategies for modelling * Situational methods and strategies for modelling * Experiences in modelling * Theoretical/philosophical foundations of modelling where this can pertain to specific aspects of systems, such as: * Goal modelling * Enterprise modelling * Value modelling * Service & transaction modelling * Business processes & business rules * Information & database modelling

Important dates * Abstract submission: February 11 * Paper submissions: February 18 * Notification of acceptance: March 13 * Camera-ready copies: March 20 * Conference: June 7-8

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 should 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). Papers may involve 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 Adobe PDF format are accepted. E-mail your abstract to E.Proper@acm.org.

Submit the full paper using the conference management system available at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=emmsad10

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 will 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 in the International Journal of Information System Modeling and Design (IJISMD).
