BMSD 2013 - Third International Symposium on Business Modeling and Software Design

BMSD 2013
Third International Symposium on Business Modeling and Software Design
8-10 July, 2013, Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands
http://www.is-bmsd.org/Documents/BMSD2012_CfP+.pdf
General Information
BMSD - the International Symposium on Business Modeling and Software Design, is a leading international forum that brings together researchers and practitioners interested in business modeling and its relation to software design. Particular areas of interest are: (i) Business Models and Requirements; (ii) Business Models and Services; (iii) Business Models and Software; (iv) Information Systems Architectures. Each year, a special theme is chosen, for making presentations and discussions more focused. The theme of BMSD 2013 is: ENTERPRISE ENGINEERING AND SOFTWARE GENERATION.
Adequate business models are of huge importance not only for understanding and (re-)engineering an organization but also for automating (part of) its processes by means of software systems. Not grasping correctly and exhaustively a business 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.
Goals and Topics
BMSD aims at addressing the above-mentioned challenges, by contributing to the dissemination of research results and also by leading and inspiring open discussions focused on the wider applicability of business models. In addressing all this, BMSD 2013 is considering a large number of research topics: from more abstract ones, such as essential business models to more technical ones, such as software specification, from more business-oriented ones, such as business process management and coordination, and requirements specification to IT architectures -related topics. Hence, the topics of interest for the symposium include, but are not limited to:
BUSINESS MODELS AND REQUIREMENTS
- Business Analysis - Value Models and Process Models
- Essential Business Models
- Re-usable Business Models
- Relating Business Goals to Requirements
- Business Process Coordination
- Business Entities and Business Roles
- Business Data and Semantics
- Business Rules
- Behavior Modeling and Pragmatics
- Identification and Elicitation of Requirements
- Domain-imposed and User-defined Requirements
- Requirements Analysis
BUSINESS MODELS AND SERVICES
- Business Modeling and Service Science
- Relating Business Goals to the Identification of Services
- Service Modeling - Technology-independent and Platform-specific
- Business Rules and Service Composition
- Autonomic Service Behavior
- Context-aware Service Behavior
- Re-usable Service Models
BUSINESS MODELS AND SOFTWARE
- Business Modeling -driven Derivation of Software
- Business Innovation and Software Evolution
- Business-IT Alignment and Traceability
- Re-usable Business Models and Software Components
- Business Rules and Software Specification
- Business Goals and Software Integration
- Autonomic and Context-aware Business/Software Systems
- Affective Computing and User-aware Software Systems
INFORMATION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTURES
- Enterprise Architectures
- Service-Oriented Architectures
- Architectural Styles
- Architectural Viewpoints
- Crosscutting Concerns
Paper Submission
BMSD 2013 invites papers describing original contributions related to the topics listed above. Submitted papers should be in English. The papers should be prepared and submitted according to the instructions.
Publication
The BMSD'13 proceedings will be published by SciTePress and included in the SciTePress Digital Library. Revised and extended versions of the best BMSD'13 papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in a LNBIP Series book.
Symposium Format
The symposium will be a three-day event with keynote lectures, (panel) discussions, and oral/poster presentations. Both invited papers and regular papers are considered with ONLY the Springer'12 authors and former keynote lecturers being approached for submitting invited papers to BMSD 2013
