EMMSAD’06: Eleventh International Workshop on Exploring Modeling Methods in Systems Analysis and Design
Veranstaltungsort
University of Luxembourg2, avenue de l'Université
4365 Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxemburg
Beschreibung
The field of information systems analysis and design includes numerous modeling methods and notations (e.g. ER, ORM, UML, DFDs, BPMN, EPC), that are typically evolving. Even with some attempts to standardize (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.
This workshop 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 EMMSAD’06 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. EMMSAD’06 is the eleventh in a very successful series of EMMSAD workshops, previously held in Heraklion, Barcelona, Pisa, Heidelberg, Stockholm, Interlaken, Toronto, Velden, Riga and Porto.
This workshop will provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to share and discuss research methodologies and results. The focus of the workshop is on theoretical, empirical or case-based exploration of modeling methods and methodologies. The topics of interest include modeling (in a system analysis and design context) of systems in general:
- Modeling languages
- The act of modeling
- 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):
- Agile Modeling
- Extreme 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 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
