AMINO 2013 - International Workshop on TowArds the Model DrIveN Organization

Modern organizations are faced with the very challenging problem of rapidly responding to continual external business pressures in order to sustain their competitiveness or to effectively perform mission-critical services. Difficulties arise because the continual evolution of systems and operational procedures providing opportunities for developing and applying organization modeling approaches that seek to improve an organization's ability to effectively evolve in response to changes in its business environment. Modeling an organization to better support organizational evolution leads to what we call a Model Driven Organization (MDO), where an MDO is an organization in which models are the primary means for interacting with and evolving the systems that drive an organization.
A Model Driven Organization uses models in the analysis, design, simulation, delivery, operation, and maintenance of systems to address its strategic, tactical and operational needs and its relation to the wider environment.
Realizing the MDO vision will require research that cross-cuts many areas, including research on enterprise architectures, business process. and workflow modeling, system requirements and design modeling, metamodeling, and models-AT-runtime. This full-day workshop aims to provide a forum to report and discuss advances and current research questions in applying modelling technologies to organizations in order to substantially improve their flexibility and economics. The aim is to integrate various areas of research such as: models at runtime, (meta-) modelling, modelling tools, enterprise architecture, architecture modelling and business processes.
