Background:
The field of information systems analysis and design includes numerous evolving information modeling methods, notations and approaches (e.g. ER, ORM, UML, BPMN, DSM). Even with some attempts to standardize (e.g. UML for object-oriented design), new modeling methods are being introduced, many of which differ only marginally from existing approaches. These ongoing changes significantly impact the way information systems are being analyzed and designed in practice. The EMMSAD events focus on exploring, evaluating, and enhancing current information modeling methods and methodologies. Though the need for such studies is well recognized, there is a paucity of such research in the literature. The objective of EMMSAD09 is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners interested in modeling methods in 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. EMMSAD09 is the 14th in a very successful series of events, previously held in Heraklion, Barcelona, Pisa, Heidelberg, Stockholm, Interlaken, Toronto, Velden, Riga, Porto, Luxembourg, Trondheim and Montpellier. 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 & modeling approaches The reasons for modeling and their impact on the modeling languages and processes Experiences in modeling Theoretical/philosophical foundations of modeling and/or specific strategies for modeling, including (but not limited to): Active Knowledge Modeling Agile Modeling Aspect-Oriented Modeling Method Engineering Model-Driven Development and Architecture (MDD-MDA) Object Oriented Methods and Methodologies Ontologies and the semantic web Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) Unified Modeling Language (UML) and Unified Process (UP) and/or modeling of specific aspects, including (but not limited to): Business Process Modeling and Improvement Business Rule Modeling Database Modeling Workflow Modeling E-Business and M-Business Models and Architectures Enterprise Modeling, Architecture, and Enterprise Governance Information Modelling (ER, ORM etc.) Interactive models Meta-modeling Requirements modeling Knowledge Engineering and Management Modeling of security and trust User Interface modeling and/or modeling in the context of specific classes of systems, including (but not limited to): Agent-oriented information systems Enterprise Systems and Supply Chain Integration Mobile and Ubiquitous Information Systems Web information systems |
