Three successful DYNMOD conferences have been held in 1990 (the Netherlands), 1991 (USA), and 1992 (the Netherlands). In 1994, the "Fourth International Working Conference on Dynamic Modelling and Information Systems" will take place on September 28-30, in Noordwijkerhout, the Netherlands. In 1992 we decided to organize this conference biannually to enable the presentation of really new research results. Objective Dynamic modelling is an approach for analyzing dynamic aspects of organizations and their information systems. The approach recognizes that activities happen concurrently in organizations, and that methods are needed to model concurrency within organizations and information systems. The objective of the International Working Conferences on Dynamic Modelling and Information Systems is to bring together interested information systems users and developers, researchers and educators for cross-fertilization and exchange of information and ideas. The expectation is that continued development of dynamic models of information systems will lead to better organizational problem solving and the solution of a number of real-world problems in information systems development and operation. At this fourth conference, special interest will be paid to comparing different approaches for dynamic modelling, to the construction of professional tools for dynamic modelling, to empirical studies on dynamic approaches of information systems analysis and design, and to the transfer of the technology to government and commercial organizations. How to Submit The papers to be submitted for this conference cover several areas, including: - formal representations - petri-nets - simulation and animation - dynamic modelling tools and dynamic CASE tools - workflow analysis and tools for administrative logistics - dynamic approaches for business process redesign - empirical research and the use of dynamic modelling in practice If you wish to participate in the conference, please fill in the enclosed form and send it to the address below. If you intend to submit a paper, please give the (provisional) title as well. The papers that may be presented on the conference and that will be included in the published conference proceedings will be chosen after blind reviewing. Full papers can be up to 30 pages in length and occasionally even more. During the conference, ample time will be given for the presentation and the discussion of each paper. In addition, One copy of either an extended abstract (6 pages or more) or a full paper (20-30 pages) should be sent by e-mail to: a.verbraeck@is.twi.tudelft.nl, or four copies should be sent by regular mail to: Dr. Alexander Verbraeck Program Chair DYNMOD-IV Dept. of Information Systems Delft University of Technology P.O. Box 356, 2600 AJ Delft, The Netherlands These abstracts should be submitted before March 1, 1994. If possible, please send in the enclosed form as well. The notifications of acceptance and rejection will be sent around April 15, 1994. Camera ready copies of the full paper are due September 1, 1994. The papers that have been presented at the conference will be included in the published proceedings, if necessary after slight revisions. Other information The working conference participation is limited to 85 participants.
