Exploring Modeling Methods for

Systems Analysis and Design

The field of systems analysis and design is facing constant revolution and evolution. We witness the movement from the structured paradigm to the Object-Oriented paradigm over the last two decades. New approaches such as agile methods are being adapted. In addition, systems development approaches such as the Unified Modeling Language (UML) are continuously evolving. These ongoing changes are affecting the way information systems should be analyzed, designed, and developed.

The EMMSAD workshop series focuses on evaluating and enhancing current information system modeling methods and methodologies. Though the need for such studies is well recognized, there is a paucity of such research in the literature. Evaluation of modeling approaches remains a challenge in the information systems field. The objective of EMMSAD is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners interested in modeling methods and methodologies in systems analysis and design to meet, and exchange research ideas and results. EMMSAD’05, was the tenth in a very successful series of EMMSAD workshops, was jointly sponsored by the Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE), the International Federation for Information Processing Working Group 8.1 (IFIP8.1), AIS-SIGSAND and The IST 6FP NoE Interop.

EMMSAD’07 will be held in Trondheim, Norway 11-12 of June, before the CAiSE’07-conference.
