=========

BMSD - the International Symposium on Business Modeling and Software Design, is a leading international discussion and knowledge dissemination forum that brings together researchers and practitioners interested in: (i) MODELING in general and in particular - conceptual modeling, goal modeling, value modeling, business/enterprise modeling, process modeling, situation modeling, data-analytics-driven modeling, predictions-based modeling, model-driven engineering; (ii) ENTERPRISE ENGINEERING and its relation to SOFTWARE SPECIFICATION; (iii) INFORMATION SYSTEMS architectures and design. Each year, a special theme is chosen, for making presentations and discussions more focused. The theme of BMSD 2022 is: INFORMATION SYSTEMS ENGINEERING AND TRUST.

Adequate enterprise models are of huge importance not only for understanding and (re-)engineering an organization but also for adequately automating (part of) its processes by means of software. Not grasping correctly and exhaustively an enterprise system would inevitably lead to consequent software failures. It is therefore claimed that SOFTWARE GENERATION should essentially have its roots in corresponding enterprise engineering models.

In 2022, BMSD will be held in FRIBOURG, SWITZERLAND, following previous events in Bulgaria (Sofia 2021), Germany (Berlin 2020), Portugal (Lisbon 2019), Austria (Vienna 2018), Spain (Barcelona 2017), Greece (Rhodes 2016), Italy (Milan 2015), The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (Luxembourg 2014), The Netherlands (Noordwijkerhout 2013), Switzerland (Geneva 2012), and Bulgaria (Sofia 2011).
