• University of Gdansk, Poland

Background:
The field of information systems analysis and design includes numerous
information modeling methods and notations (e.g. ER, ORM, UML,
ArchiMate, EPC, BPMN, EEML, DEMO) that are typically evolving. Even with
some attempts to standardize (e.g. UML for object-oriented software
design), new modeling methods are constantly being introduced, many of
which differ only marginally from previous approaches. These ongoing
changes significantly impact the way information systems, enterprises,
and business processes are being analyzed and designed in practice.
The EMMSAD conference focuses on exploring, evaluating, and enhancing
modeling methods and methodologies for the analysis and design of
information systems, enterprises, and business processes. Though the
need for such studies is well recognized, 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 modeling 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. EMMSAD’2012 is
the seventeenth in a very successful series of EMMSAD events, previously
held in Heraklion, Barcelona, Pisa, Heidelberg, Stockholm, Interlaken,
Toronto, Velden, Riga, Porto, Luxembourg, Trondheim, Montpellier,
Amsterdam, Hammamet, and London.
The AIS SIGSAND EuroSymposium on Systems Analysis and Design has the
objective of promoting and developing high quality research on all
issues related to systems analysis and design. It provides a forum to
researchers and practitioners in SAND in Europe and beyond to interact,
collaborate and develop the Systems Analysis and Design area. Previous
events have been held in Galway, Gdansk (twice), and Marburg.

Topics of Interest:
Relevant topics include (but are not limited to) theoretical and/or
empirical or case-based exploration of modeling methods and
methodologies in a systems analysis and design context. The topics of
interest include general modeling issues such as:

• Modeling languages
• The process of modeling
• Quality of models
• Experiences in modeling
• Teaching systems analysis and design
• Theoretical/philosophical foundations of modeling

and/or specific modeling strategies or aspects, including (but not
limited to):

• Active models
• Agile Modeling
• Business Process Modeling
• Business Rule Modeling
• Conceptual Modeling
• Database Modeling
• Decision-support systems
• Digital ecosystems
• Enterprise Architecture
• Enterprise Modeling
• Goal and Value Modeling
• Information Modeling (ER, ORM etc.)
• Meta-modeling
• Method Engineering
• Mobile and Ubiquitous Information Systems
• Model-driven Architecture (MDA) and Model-Driven Engineering (MDD)
• Object Oriented Methods and Methodologies
• Ontologies and the Semantic Web
• Requirements modeling
• Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)
• Social modeling
• Unified Modeling Language (UML) and Unified Process (UP)
• Web information systems
• Workflow Modeling

Important dates (2012):
Paper abstracts: February 20 (Recommended, but not mandatory)
Full paper submissions: February 26
Notification of acceptance: March 23
Camera-ready copies: April 10
Conference: June 25-26

Submission guidelines:
The conference accepts two types of submissions—Completed Research and
Research-In-Progress. Completed research papers should include analysis
of data and discussion on research findings. Research-in-progress papers
report on research that is well under way with preliminary results
available at the time of the conference. Please use the following format
for your submissions:
• For all submissions, the paper 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.
• We practice double-blind review, thus make sure there is no
information in the paper that identifies you as the author
• Use 10 point font for the bulk of the body text.
Only electronic submissions in Adobe PDF format are accepted. Submit
both the recommended abstract and the full paper using the conference
management system available at
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=emmsad12.

Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings, which will be
available at the conference, and should use the Springer LNBIP style,
see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. Top papers in the
completed research category may also be considered (after extension and
enhancement) either for chapters in a book, or for journal publications
in the International Journal of Information System Modeling and Design
(http://www.igi-global.com/Bookstore/TitleDetails.aspx?TitleId=1157&DetailsType=Description).
