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 an enterprise 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).
