Background:

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

The EMMSAD conference focuses on exploring, evaluating, and enhancing 
modeling methods and methodologies for the analysis and design of 
information systems, enterprises, and business processes. Though the need 
for such studies is well recognized, there is a paucity of such research 
in the literature. The objective of the EMMSAD conference series is to 
provide a forum for researchers and practitioners interested in modeling 
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’2011 is the sixteenth in a very successful series 
of EMMSAD events, previously held in Heraklion, Barcelona, Pisa, 
Heidelberg, Stockholm, Interlaken, Toronto, Velden, Riga, Porto, 
Luxembourg, Trondheim, Montpellier, Amsterdam and Hammamet. 

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
Experiences in modeling
Theoretical/philosophical foundations of modeling

and/or specific modeling strategies or aspects, including (but not limited 
to):
Agile Modeling
Business Process Modeling and Improvement
Business Rule Modeling
Database Modeling
Enterprise Modeling, Architecture, and Governance
Goal and Value Modeling
Information Modeling (ER, ORM etc.)
Meta-modeling
Method Engineering 
Mobile and Ubiquitous Information Systems 
Model-Driven Engineering
Object Oriented Methods and Methodologies
Ontologies and the Semantic Web
Requirements modeling
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) 
Unified Modeling Language (UML) and Unified Process (UP)
Workflow Modeling
Web information systems

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 results 
available at the time of the conference. Please use the following format 
for your submissions:

For Completed Research submissions, the paper should not exceed 15 pages 
(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.
For Research-In-Progress submissions, the paper should not exceed 10 pages 
(including references and appendices).
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. 
Use 10 point font for the bulk of the body text.

Only electronic submissions in Adobe PDF format are accepted. E-mail your 
abstract as an attachment to terry.halpin at logicblox.com. Submit the full 
paper using the conference management system available at 
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=emmsad2011.

Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, which 
will be available at the workshop, and should use the Springer LNBIP style 
(for details, see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). 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 conference co-chairs, or for journal publications in the International 
Journal of Information System Modeling and Design (
http://www.igi-global.com/Bookstore/TitleDetails.aspx?TitleId=1157&DetailsType=Description
).
