***************************************************************************

Dear Colleague,

We cordially invite you to submit your papers to the *** 29th International Conference on Exploring
Modeling Methods for Systems Analysis and Development (EMMSAD'2024) *** that will be held in
conjunction with CAiSE'24, Limassol, Cyprus, on June 3-4, 2024
(https://cyprusconferences.org/caise2024/).

The EMMSAD conference provides a forum for researchers and practitioners interested in modeling
methods for systems analysis and development to meet and exchange research ideas and results.
Particularly, the conference welcomes submissions on emerging methods in support of modeling (AI,
machine learning, NLP, LLM) and application areas of modeling (digital twins, cyber-physical systems,
blockchain platforms, Industry 4.0, digital transformation, sustainability).
EMMDAS consists of five tracks that are elaborated at the bottom of this message.

Important dates:
------------------------------------
* Abstract submissions: February 26, 2024 (recommended)
* Full paper submissions: March 1, 2024
* Notification of acceptance: April 1, 2024
* Author registration: April 5, 2024
* Camera-ready copies: April 8, 2024
* Conference: June 3-4, 2024

For further information, please visit the conference website http://www.emmsad.org/.

Submission & Publication:
------------------------------------
The working conference accepts long papers that report Completed Research or Research-In-
Progress and short papers reporting innovative ideas, experience, or tools.
   * Completed research papers should not only discuss research findings, but also the initial
     research objectives, the research methodology used, as well as its appropriateness and
     its execution.
   * Research-in-progress papers report on research that is well under way with preliminary
     results available at the time of the conference. These papers should clearly identify the
     research objectives of the ongoing research effort, the research methodology used, and
     the progress made so-far.
   * Idea papers may present completely new research approaches or adaptation of existing
     approaches to new types of emerging challenges. The papers should precisely describe
     the shortcomings of current methods, the innovative aspects of the suggested approach,
     and its potential to make change.
   * Experience reports are expected to report on work done in a context of a real-life
    organization. They should describe the practical goals of the work, the
    organizational/business context, the methods or theories used, and the lessons learnt.
   * Tool demonstration papers should be related to the conference topics. They should
     include the research background and application context, the key technologies used, the
     novelty of the tool, and its limitations.

Please use the following format for your submissions:
   * Completed Research and Research-in-Progress papers should not exceed 15 pages
     (including references and appendices).
   * Idea papers, Experience reports, and Tool demonstration papers should not exceed 8
     pages (including references and appendices).
Only electronic submissions in PDF format, and in Springer's LNBIP style
(See https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-
guidelines), will be accepted. Both the recommended abstract and the full paper should be
submitted using the conference management system available
at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=caise2024 and select the "Exploring Modeling
Methods for Systems Analysis and Development (EMMSAD)" track.

The proceedings with the accepted papers will be published in Springer's LNBIP series.

Top papers will be invited to submit an extended and enhanced version for consideration for
publication in *** SoSyM -- Software and System Modelling journal ***.


Sincerely,
