Model-based analysis assists understanding and communicating the complex relationships within an architectural model or between multiple models. It also contributes to the assessment of the value of an enterprise model and to support the overall decision making process. Different analysis techniques apply to enterprise architecture, such as functional, structural, quantitative, and qualitative analysis, which rely on information within the architectural models or on layers of additional information that relate to the models. Model analysis is also a means to understand the large volume of structured and unstructured data within an organization that needs to be processed before it becomes a value-adding asset. As such, combining large scale data management with a model-driven approach towards enterprise engineering contributes to (1) facilitate the analysis, contextualization, communication and visualization of heterogeneous enterprise data; (2) assess the quality and conformance analysis of models according to the data and vice-versa; and (3) manage enterprise models that make use of large scale structured and unstructured data. The primary goal of the EMA workshop is therefore discussing the role of model analysis in the discipline of enterprise engineering. ======Location ====== The EMA workshop will be held **14:00-18:00 on Tuesday, September 2** as part of the [[http://www.edoc2014.org/ | EDOC 2014]] conference. ====== Workshop Program, Tuesday, September 2====== ===== Session 1 - 14:00-15:30 ===== * **Opening ** * **Paper presentation:** Toward Structured Simulation of What-if Analyses for Enterprise.

Submissions must conform to the two-column paper format guidelines of [[http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting | IEEE Computer Society Conference Proceedings]]. Papers must be submitted as PDF files using EasyChair (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ema2014) and will be refereed by at least two members of the EMA international program committee. The papers accepted for the EDOC 2014 Workshops will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press and included in the IEEE Xplore and the IEEE Computer Society Digital Library. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must register for the EDOC main conference and present the paper at the workshop. The IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution if a paper is not presented. We are planning to invite the authors of the best papers to prepare a revised and extended version of their work for publication in a special journal issue. * The camera-ready version of the paper and the registration must be completed by June 20th. * The copyright guidelines are available here [[http://www.ieeeconfpublishing.org/cpir/authorKit.asp?Facility=CPS_Sept&ERoom=EDOCW+2014]] * The Web Site for registration is [[http://edoc2014.org/2014-05-23-15-27-56/registration-system]] * For each accepted paper at least one author has to be registered, otherwise papers will not be published. * An author may present one conference paper and one workshop paper OR one conference paper and one demonstration paper if and only if s/he has registered for both the conference and the workshops/demonstrations (combi-ticket; see the EDOC [[http://edoc2014.org/2014-05-23-15-27-56/registration-system | registration page]] for details). */ ====== Organization ====== * Artur Caetano, [[http://www.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/ | University of Lisbon]], Portugal (email: artur.caetano [at] tecnico.ulisboa.pt) * Ulrich Frank, [[http://www.wi-inf.uni-duisburg-essen.de/ | University of Duisburg-Essen]], Germany (email: ulrich.frank [at] uni-due.de) {{http://tecnico.ulisboa.pt/img/tecnico.png?220|}} {{http://www.wi-inf.uni-duisburg-essen.de/FGFrank/t_ude/ude-logo.png?175|}} /* ====== Program Committee ====== * António Rito Silva, University of Lisbon, Portugal * Björn Johansson, Lund University, Sweden * David Aveiro, University of Madeira, Portugal * Erik Proper, Tudor Institute, Luxembourg * Jianmin Wang, Tsinghua National Laboratory, Beijing, China * José Borbinha, University of Lisbon, Portugal * José Tribolet, University of Lisbon, Portugal * Marco Montali, University of Bolzano-Bozen, Italy * Minseok Song, Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology, Korea * Pedro Antunes, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand * Pedro Sousa, University of Lisbon, Portugal * Peter Rittgen, University of Boras, Sweden * Rafael Accorsi, University of Freiburg, Germany * Robert Lagerström, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden * Sérgio Guerreiro, Universidade da Beira Interior, Portugal */
