[AISWorld] BMSD'20 - EXTENDED DEADLINE | Business Modeling & Software Design || D - Berlin | Springer Proceedings | Scopus, Web of Science, DBLP | COVID-19 - Actual Information

[Neda Grozeva]

*Dear Colleague*,

Please, allow me to inform you that due to many requests, we decided to *extend
the submission deadlines* for BMSD 2020 (*10th International Symposium on
Business Modeling and Software Design*) to *April 13* / *April 20* - you
may have a look at the website updates (http://www.is-bmsd.org); and also:

http://www.is-bmsd.org/Documents/Poster.pdf


Further, *as it concerns COVID-19, we are carefully monitoring the
situation and we would adapt the arrangements accordingly if needed. We are
definitely continuing with the BMSD'20 preparations because currently the
Berlin area is not a COVID-19 "hotspot" and also because the symposium is
still "far away" in terms of time. Still, based on new information, BMSD'20
may be turned into a partly Web-based event and/or the symposium might
allow Skype presentations. Hence, FOR SURE any accepted BMSD'20 paper will
get published, no matter if all we (hopefully) meet physically in Germany
or some participants present via Skype (because of force majeure), without
traveling to Germany*.

================== *CALL FOR PAPERS* ==================

*BMSD'20 - 10th International Symposium onBusiness Modeling and Software
Design*
*6-8 July 2020* | *Berlin, Germany*
http://www.is-bmsd.org

Organized by: Institute IICREST <http://www.iicrest.org/>
Co-Organized by: University of Potsdam
<https://www.uni-potsdam.de/en/university-of-potsdam.html>
=====================================================



*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, situation
modeling, data-analytics-driven modeling, predictions-based modeling,
model-driven engineering; (ii) ENTERPRISE ENGINEERING and its relation to
SOFTWARE SPECIFICATION; (iii) INFORMATION SYSTEMS architectures and design.
Each year, a special theme is chosen, for making presentations and
discussions more focused. The theme of BMSD 2020 is: TOWARDS
KNOWLEDGE-DRIVEN ENTERPRISE INFORMATION SYSTEMS.

Adequate enterprise models are of huge importance  not only for
understanding and (re-)engineering an organization but also for adequately
automating (part of) its processes by means of software. 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 2020, BMSD will be held in *Berlin*, *Germany*, following previous
events in *Portugal* (Lisbon 2019 <http://www.is-bmsd.org/BMSD2019/>),
*Austria* (Vienna 2018 <http://www.is-bmsd.org/BMSD2018/>), *Spain* (Barcelona
2017 <http://www.is-bmsd.org/BMSD2017/>), *Greece* (Rhodes 2016
<http://www.is-bmsd.org/BMSD2016/>), *Italy* (Milan 2015
<http://www.is-bmsd.org/BMSD2015/>), *The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg*
(Luxembourg
2014 <http://www.is-bmsd.org/BMSD2014/>), *The Netherlands* (Noordwijkerhout
2013 <http://www.is-bmsd.org/BMSD2013/>), *Switzerland* (Geneva 2012
<http://www.is-bmsd.org/BMSD2012/>), and *Bulgaria* (Sofia 2011
