Highlights: EMMSAD underwent some changes this year.

The focus will be on evaluation of modelling methods for systems development and modelling support for new trends (cloud, big data, internet of things, and so on).

Authors of best papers in all tracks will be invited to submit extended papers to SoSyM – Software and System Modelling.

An additional track of short papers – e.g., idea papers, experience reports, and tool demonstration – will be available.
