The field of information systems analysis and design includes numerous evolving information modeling methods, notations and approaches (e.g. ER, ORM, UML, BPMN, DSM). Even with some attempts to standardize (e.g. UML for object-oriented design), new modeling methods are 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.
The EMMSAD event 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’09 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 provides the participants an opportunity to present their research papers and experience reports, and to take part in open discussions. EMMSAD’09 is the 14.th in a very successful series of EMMSAD events, previously held in Heraklion, Barcelona, Pisa, Heidelberg, Stockholm, Interlaken, Toronto, Velden, Riga, Porto, Luxembourg, Trondheim and Montpellier.
As of 2007, EMMSAD is officially linked to the CAiSE conference series
