Over fifty researchers from all over the world came together to share their theories and experience about this new field of inquiry in information systems. The quality od the fifteen papers presented, and the stimulation discussions during the two days, proved that this new field of inquiry is indeed important, and that further research is merited. The edited proceedings of that conference are to be published this fall by Elsevier publishers. The Second International Working Conference on Dynamic Modelling of Information Systems will be held July 17-19, 1991 in Washington, D.C., U.S.A., on the campus of The American University. The dates for the conference are immediately before the 1991 Summer Computer Simulation Conference to be held in Baltimore, Maryland (just outside Washington D.C.), July 22-24. The Second International Working Conference plans to have two tracks: one theoretical and one empirical. There will also be a plenary session with an invited speaker, and a plenary session covering dynamic modelling tools. The theoretical topics are languages and petri-nets, and the empirical topics are simulation of information systems and empirical studies. For the session on dynamic modelling tools, papers are requested as well. There will also be limited space for participants at the conference who do not present papers. As this will be a working conference, ample time will be given to speakers to present their papers. There will also be enough time for discussion, both during the sessions and afterward. If you have any questions concerning this working conference, don't hesitate to contact either Robert Crosslin at American University or Alexander Verbraeck at Delft University, the Netherlands. We look forward to hearing from you and also to seeing you in Washington in July. ------------------------------------------------------------------- To give you an idea of possible topics that could be addressed at this working conference, the table of contents of the First International Conference is presented below.
