Overview<br>
Modern organizations are faced with the very challenging problem of
rapidly responding to continual external business pressures in order
to sustain their competitiveness or to effectively perform
mission-critical services. Difficulties arise because the continual
evolution of systems and operational procedures that are performed
in response to the external pressures eventually leads to suboptimal
configurations of the systems and processes that drive the
organization.<br>
<br>
The management of continuous business change is complicated by the
current lack of effective mechanisms for rapidly responding to
multiple change drivers. The use of inadequate change management
methods and technologies introduces accidental complexities that
significantly drive up the cost, risk, and effort of making changes.
These problems provide opportunities for developing and applying
organization modeling approaches that seek to improve an
organization's ability to effectively evolve in response to changes
in its business environment. Modeling an organization to better
support organizational evolution leads to what we call a Model
Driven Organization (MDO), where an MDO is an organization in which
models are the primary means for interacting with and evolving the
systems that drive an organization.<br>
<br>
DEF: A Model Driven Organization uses models in the analysis,
design, simulation, delivery, operation, and maintenance of systems
to address its strategic, tactical and operational needs and its
relation to the wider environment.<br>
<br>
An organization's Enterprise Systems (ES) support a wide-range of
business activities including planning, business intelligence,
operationalization, and reporting. ES are thus pivotal to a
company's competitiveness. Modelling technologies and approaches
that address the development, analysis, deployment and maintenance
of ES have started to emerge. Such technologies and approaches must
support a much broader collection of use-cases than traditional
technologies for systems design modeling. Current ES architectures
do not adequately address the growing demands for
inter-organisational collaboration, flexibility and advanced
decision support in organizations.<br>
<br>
Realizing the MDO vision will require research that cross-cuts many
areas, including research on enterprise architectures, business
process. and workflow modeling, system requirements and design
modeling, metamodeling, and models@runtime. This workshop seeks to
bring together researchers and practitioners from a variety of MDD
research domains to discuss the need, feasibility challenges and
proposed realizations of aspects of the MDO vision.<br>
<br>
The full-day workshop aims to provide a forum to report and discuss
advances and current research questions in applying modelling
technologies to organizations in order to substantially improve
their flexibility and economics. The aim is to integrate various
areas of research such as: models at runtime, (meta-) modelling,
modelling tools, enterprise architecture, architecture modelling and
business processes. <br>
<br>
The workshop is a full-day and will include an invited speaker,
paper presentations and a discussion on a research roadmap that will
contribute to achieving Model Driven Organizations.<br>
<br>
Scope<br>
Submissions are solicited in areas that are related to this aim, and
that address model-based approaches to the following non-exhaustive
list of topics:<br>
<br>
* Frameworks for the Model Driven Organization<br>
* Enterprise analysis including risk analysis and resource planning<br>
* Stakeholder support through multiple perspectives<br>
* Domain specific languages for enterprise modelling<br>
* Patterns and best practice for enterprise modelling<br>
* Modelling technologies for the Model Driven Organization<br>
* Case studies.<br>
* Maturity models for the Model Driven Organization<br>
* Enterprise simulation.<br>
* Enterprise-wide socio-technical issues<br>
* Applying information systems theory to the Model Driven
Organization<br>
* Enterprise use-cases including:<br>
<br>
o Business change<br>
o Regulatory compliance<br>
o Mergers and acquisitions<br>
o Business goal alignment<br>
o Outsourcing<br>
o Business intelligence.<br>
<br>
Submissions must be in the scope of the workshop as described above.
Submission process will be managed by Easychair:

<br>
All submissions will be required to conform to LNCS format:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html">http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html</a><br>
<br>
Submissions are invited in the following categories:<br>
<br>
* research papers reporting on completed research activities. (15
pages + up to 2 pages for references).<br>
* short papers describing work in progress (8 pages + up to 2
pages for references).<br>
* position papers describing a new approach to a research
question (8 pages + up to 2 pages for references).<br>
* case-study papers reporting on real-life case studies (8 pages
+ up to 2 pages for references).<br>
<br>
Publication of the accepted workshop papers will be organised via
the MODELS workshop chairs in a formal digital library. In addition
the workshop organisers are planning to invite selected papers to be
extended and submitted to a publication (via collections such as
LNCS or LNBIP) of selected works describing research contributing to
the aim of the Model Driven Organization.<br>
