EMMSAD'2012
EMMSAD 2012 was organized in Gdansk, Poland, in June, 2012, in conjunction with CAiSE'12.
The field of information systems analysis and design includes numerous information modeling methods and notations (e.g., ER, ORM, UML, Archimate, EPC, DEMO, DFDs, BPMN) that are typically evolving. Even with some attempts toward standardization (e.g., UML for object-oriented design), new modeling methods are constantly 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. EMMSAD focuses 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 the conference 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 gives the participants an opportunity to present their research papers and experience reports, and to take part in open discussions.
EMMSAD 2012 was the 17th in a series of events, previously held in Heraklion, Barcelona, Pisa, Heidelberg, Stockholm, Interlaken, Toronto, Velden, Riga, Porto, Luxembourg, Trondheim, Montpellier, Amsterdam, Hammamet and London. This year we had 28 papers submitted with authors from 19 countries and five continents (Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Israel, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Sweden, UK, USA). After an extensive review process by a distinguished international Program Committee, with each paper receiving at least three reviews, we accepted the 13 papers that appear in these proceedings. Congratulations to the successful authors!
Acknowledgements
Apart from the contribution by paper authors, the quality of EMMSAD 2012 depended in no small way on the generous contribution of time and effort by the Program Committee and the additional reviewers. Their work is greatly appreciated. We also express our sincere thanks to the CAiSE Organizing Committee. Continuing with our very successful collaboration with IFIP WG 8.1 that started in 1997, this year’s event was again a joint activity between CAiSE and WG 8.1 and this year also with AIS-SIGSAND. Another co-organizer this year was the Polish chapter of AIS, European Research Centre for Information Systems, Enterprise Architecture Network, the ORM Foundation, and University of Gdansk, Poland.
