 BMSD 2018 - Eighth International Symposium on Business Modeling and 
Software Design

 2-4 July 2018, Vienna, Austria

 http://www.is-bmsd.org 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------

 BMSD - the International Symposium on Business Modeling and Software 
Design, is a leading international discussion and knowledge dissemination 
forum that brings together Researchers and Practitioners interested in: (i) 
Modeling in general and in particular - Conceptual Modeling, Goal Modeling, 
Value Modeling, Business/Enterprise Modeling, Process Modeling, 
Model-Driven Engineering; (ii) Enterprise Engineering and its relation to 
Software Generation; (iii) Information Systems Architectures and Design. 
Each year, a special theme is chosen, for making presentations and 
discussions more focused. The theme of BMSD 2018 is:
 ENTERPRISE ENGINEERING AND SOFTWARE ENGINEERING - PROCESSES AND SYSTEMS 
FOR THE FUTURE.
 Adequate business models are of huge importance not only for understanding 
and (re-)engineering an organization but also for automating (part of) its 
processes by means of software systems. Not grasping correctly and 
exhaustively a business system would inevitably lead to consequent software 
failures. It is therefore claimed that software generation should 
essentially have its roots in corresponding enterprise engineering models. 

 In 2018, BMSD will be held in Vienna, Austria, following previous events 
in Spain (Barcelona, 2017), Greece (Rhodes, 2016), Italy (Milan, 2015), the 
Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (Luxembourg, 2014), The Netherlands 
(Noordwijkerhout, 2013), Switzerland (Geneva, 2012), and Bulgaria (Sofia, 
2011).
