BMSD 2012
Second International Symposium on Business Modeling and Software Design
4-6 July, 2012, Geneva, Switzerland
General Information
The Second International Symposium on Business Modeling and Software Design (BMSD 2012) provides a specialized forum to researchers and practitioners who are interested in business modeling and its relation to software design. The scientific areas of interest to the symposium are in the following directions: (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'12 is: FROM BUSINESS MODELING TO SERVICE-ORIENTED SOLUTIONS.
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 lead inevitably to consequent software failures. BMSD 2012 is addressing these challenges, by 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.
Goals and Topics
The goal of BMSD 2012 is to focus on the broad range of aspects already mentioned. The symposium aims at contributing to the dissemination of research results, and supporting in this way the wider applicability of business models.
Topics of interest for the symposium include, but are not limited to:
BUSINESS MODELS AND REQUIREMENTS

Paper Submission
BMSD 2012 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'12 proceedings will be published by SciTePress and included in the SciTePress Digital Library. Extended versions of the best BMSD'12 papers will be published as a volume in Springer's LNBIP series. Further, a short list of presented papers will be selected so that revised and extended versions of these papers will be published in a special issue of the international journal Enterprise Modelling and Information Systems Architectures (EMISA).
Symposium Format
The symposium will be a three-day event with oral presentations and two types of papers are considered, namely Invited Papers and Regular Papers.
