====================

Dear colleagues,

We are organizing a special session on «Modeling, verification and performance evaluation of complex information systems» at WODES 2016 (http://wodes2016.diee.unica.it/) that will be held in Xi'an, China, from May 30th to June 1st, 2016.

*Description and aim of the proposed session*:
Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) and Unified Modeling Language (UML) are two of the most used standardized modeling languages for complex information systems. They reproduce the behavior of a complex process in terms of the involved participants, the causality/concurrence/conflict of the activities carried out by the formers as well as the data flow generated by the process. These models can be used for performing simulation experiments to better understand the behavior of processes. Since both of them are semi-formal languages, in order to perform verification and performance evaluation these models should be transformed to formal discrete event systems, for example in Petri nets models.

The objective of this special session is to gather original and recent approaches and applications that are based BPMN and UML and the corresponding models obtained by their transformation. The goal is to share new methods for model to model transformation, simulation, analysis, verification, performance evaluation, etc., that can be applied in practical information systems including healthcare, transportation, communication, robotics and to present interesting applications, case studies and tools.

The topics include but are not limited to: Business Process Modeling, Unified Modeling Language, workflow nets, discrete event systems, verification, modeling, performance evaluation
