Overview
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.

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.

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.

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.

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 at 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.

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.

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.

Scope
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:

*  Frameworks for the Model Driven Organization
*  Enterprise analysis including risk analysis and resource planning
*  Stakeholder support through multiple perspectives
*  Domain specific languages for enterprise modelling
*  Patterns and best practice for enterprise modelling
*  Modelling technologies for the Model Driven Organization
*  Case studies.
*  Maturity models for the Model Driven Organization
*  Enterprise simulation.
*  Enterprise-wide socio-technical issues
*  Applying information systems theory to the Model Driven Organization
*  Enterprise use-cases including:

     o  Business change
     o  Regulatory compliance
     o  Mergers and acquisitions
     o  Business goal alignment
     o  Outsourcing
     o  Business intelligence.

Submissions must be in the scope of the workshop as described above. 
Submission process will be managed by Easychair: 
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=amino2013.

All submissions will be required to conform to LNCS format: 
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html

Submissions are invited in the following categories:

   *  research papers reporting on completed research activities. (15 
pages + up to 2 pages for references).
   *  short papers describing work in progress (8 pages + up to 2 pages 
for references).
   *  position papers describing a new approach to a research question 
(8 pages + up to 2 pages for references).
   *  case-study papers reporting on real-life case studies (8 pages + 
up to 2 pages for references).

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.
