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

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).
