The symposium is organized by the international institute IICREST and technically co-sponsored by BPM-D. Cooperating organizations are: AUTH - Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, TU Delft - Delft University of Technology, SIKS - the Nederlands Research School for Information and Knowledge Systems, CTIT - the U-Twente Centre for Telematics and Information Technology, and AMAKOTA Ltd.


BMSD is a leading international discussion and knowledge dissemination forum that brings together researchers and practitioners interested in: (i) Modeling in general and in particular - Conceptual Modeling, Goal Modeling, Value Modeling, Business/Enterprise Modeling, Process Modeling, Model-Driven Engineering; (ii) Enterprise Engineering and its relation to Software Generation; (iii) Information Systems Architectures and Design.


In 2017, BMSD will be held in Barcelona, following six previous successful editions, namely: Rhodes 2016, Milan 2015, Luxembourg 2014, Noordwijkerhout 2013, Geneva 2012, and Sofia 2011.

Venue
The BMSD sessions will be held at Hesperia Sant Just NH Hotel. Hesperia Sant Just is an excellent conference facility in Barcelona, part of the Spanish NH Hotel Group. Barcelona is
among the most popular cities in the World and also one of the top conference destinations, and this is because of Barcelona’s 2000+ years of history, its Medieval past, its artistic spirit,
its impressive modernistic architecture (in some districts), its Gaudi and Miro heritage, the Mediterranean influence and cosmopolitanism, its scientific Community and ICT advances as
well as successes in culture and sports.
