Call for Participation
Second International Working Conference on
Dynamic Modeling of Information Systems
July 18-19, 1991
Washington, D.C. U.S.A.
Organized by
The American University (USA)
Delft University of Technology (The Netherlands)
Objective
---------
Dynamic modeling is an approach for analyzing various aspects of
information systems, including the behavior of actors and organizations
employing information systems. The approach recognizes that activities
happen concurrently in organizations, and that methods are needed to
adequately model concurrency in information systems. The objective of
the Second International Working Conference on Dynamic Modeling of
Information Systems is to bring together interested researchers,
educators and information systems users and developers for cross-
fertilization and exchange of information and ideas. The expectation
is that continued development of dynamic models of information systems
will lead to the solution of a number of real-world problems in
information systems development and operation.
Papers and Discussions
----------------------
Nineteen high-quality papers were selected by a panel of referees for
presentation and discussion at the conference. Sufficient time will be
given for presentation and discussion of each paper. In addition, there
will be a session devoted to developing a research agenda for future
research in this rapidly growing area. The papers will cover several
areas, including formal representations, petri-nets, simulation,
dynamic modeling tools, and empirical research.
Invited Paper
-------------
Dr. Hubert Tardieu, SEMA Group, Direction Technique, will present an
invited address. Dr. Tardieu has made significant early contributions
to the field of dynamic modeling of information systems, and was one
of the founders of the MERISE methodolgy for developing information
systems.
Location
--------
The conference will be held on the campus of The American University,
Washington, DC. Special rates have been obtained for the Holiday Inn,
Chevy Chase, MD (on the METRO line, one stop from the AU campus.) The
rate of $70 per night is good for unlimited stay before and after the
conference.
Fees
----
Conference registration of $350US includes all meals and the
proceedings.
Other information
-----------------
Working Conference participation is limited to 85 participants.
