<div>** EMMSAD'2013 - Call for Papers</div><div>**</div><div>** Eighteenth International Conference on</div><div>** Exploring Modelling Methods in Systems Analysis and Design</div><div>**</div><div>** <a href="http://www.emmsad.org">http://www.emmsad.org</a></div>
<div>**</div><div>** Valencia, Spain, June 17-18; held in conjunction with CAiSE’2013</div><div>**</div><div><br></div><div>* Background</div><div>The field of information systems analysis and design includes numerous information modelling methods and notations (e.g. ER, ORM, UML, ArchiMate, EPC, BPMN, DEMO) that are typically evolving. The EMMSAD conference focuses on exploring, evaluat-ing, and enhancing modelling methods and methodologies for the analysis and design of information systems, enterprises, and business processes. Though the need for such studies is well rec-ognized, there is a paucity of such research in the literature. The objective of the EMMSAD conference series is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners interested in modelling methods for systems analysis and design to meet, and exchange research ideas and results. It also provides the participants an opportunity to present their research papers and experience reports, and to take part in open discussions.</div>
<div>EMMSAD’2013 is the eighteenth in a very successful series of EMMSAD events. Since 2009, the EMMSAD proceedings have been published in Springer's LNBIP series.</div><div><br></div><div>* Topics of Interest</div><div>
Relevant topics include (but are not limited to) theoretical and/or empirical or case-based exploration of modelling methods and methodologies in a systems analysis and design context. The topics of interest include general modelling issues such as:</div>

<div><br></div><div>* Submission guidelines</div><div>The workshop accepts two types of submissions: Completed Research and Research-in-Progress.</div><div><br></div><div>Completed Research papers should not only discuss research findings, but also the initial re-search objectives, the research methodology used, as well as its appropriateness and its execution. Research-in-progress papers report on research that is well underway 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 method used, and the progress made so-far.</div>
<div>Submissions should not exceed 15 pages (including references and appendices). The paper may refer to a theoretical analysis of a scientific challenge, as well as the presentation of a solution to an identified scientific challenge. Reviewers will also be asked to evaluate the effective use of space. A 10 page paper might score better than a 15 page paper.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Only electronic submissions in Adobe PDF format are accepted. For more details refer to <a href="http://www.emmsad.org">http://www.emmsad.org</a></div><div><br></div><div>Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings, which will be available at the conference, and should use the Springer LNBIP style.</div>
<div>Top papers in the completed research category may also be con-sidered (after extension and enhancement) either for chapters in a book, or for journal publications in the International Journal of Information System Modelling and Design.</div>
