The organizational environment increasingly requires that information  
systems are capable of meeting changing business needs. This  
situation is evidenced in the general cost profile of systems  
development where the bulk of spending and effort lies in the  
(evolutionary) maintenance, integration and interoperability of  
existing systems. This situation provides a challenge to the  
generally accepted approaches to systems development and, in  
response, one stream of thought seeks to divorce business issues from  
the underlying technology platforms by placing 'models' at the heart  
of systems development. In principle, model-driven approaches see the  
system development process as consisting only of models and their  
transformations. A concern for these approaches is that of providing  
a structure within which models can be developed at the right level  
of abstraction and can then be transformed into more concrete models.  
In fundamental terms, however, model-driven development requires  
significant thinking in relation to both models and the modeling  
process.

Relevant topics of study for this Minitrack include, but are not  
limited to:

- Conceptualizing and modeling Information Systems (IS)
- Conceptualizing and modeling enterprises
- Limitations of current IS modeling approaches
- Human issues of modeling the enterprise and IS
- Model-driven development and change
- Coping with ambiguity and unforeseen requirements
- Modeling, tools, techniques and methods for IS development
- Flexible and adaptable business models and architectures
- Traceability of IS models
