1st International Symposium on Business Modeling and Software Design

                  Website: http://www.is-bmsd.org

                   Sofia (Bulgaria), 27-28 July

Organized by IICREST
In cooperation with CTIT, INSTICC and TU Sofia

The First International Symposium on Business Modeling and Software Design
(BMSD 2011) provides a specialized forum to researchers and practitioners 
who are
interested in business modeling and its relation to software design. The 
scientific areas
of interest to the symposium are in the following directions: (i) Business 
Models and
Requirements; (ii) Business Models and Services; (iii) Business Models and 
Software; (iv)
Information Systems Architectures.
Each year, a special theme is chosen, for making presentations and
discussions more focused. The theme of BMSD'11 is:

BUSINESS MODELS AND ADVANCED SOFTWARE SYSTEMS.
Adequate business models are of huge importance not only for understanding
and reengineering an organization but also for automating (part of) its 
processes by means of
software systems. Not grasping correctly and exhaustively a business system
would lead inevitably to consequent software failures. BMSD 2011 is 
addressing these
challenges, by considering a large number of research topics: from more
abstract ones, such as essential business models to more technical ones, 
such as software specification,
from more businessoriented ones, such as business process management and
coordination, and requirements specification to IT architectures -related 
topics.

All papers accepted and registered for the symposium will be published by
SciTePress in the BMSD'11 proceedings under an ISBN reference and only the 
presented
papers will be added to the SciTePress digital library. Extended versions of 
the best
BMSD'11 papers will be published as a volume in Springer's LNBIP series
A short list of presented papers will be selected so that revised and
extended versions of these papers will be published in a special issue of 
the International
Journal 'Enterprise Modelling and Information Systems Architectures' 
(EMISA).
