The objective of the EMMSAD conference series is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners interested in modeling methods for Systems Analysis and Development (SA&D) to meet and exchange research ideas and results. The conference aims to provide home for a rich heritage of modeling paradigms, including software modeling, business process modeling, enterprise modeling, capability modeling, ontology modeling, and domain-specific modeling. These important paradigms, and specific methods following them, continue to be enriched with extensions, refinements, and even new languages, to address new challenges. Even with some attempts to standardize, new modeling methods are constantly being introduced, especially in order to deal with emerging trends and challenges. Ongoing changes significantly impact the way systems are being analyzed and designed in practice. Moreover, they challenge the empirical and analytical evaluation of the modeling methods, which aims to contribute to the knowledge and understanding of their strengths and weaknesses. This knowledge may guide researchers towards the development of the next generation of modeling methods and help practitioners select the modeling methods most appropriate to their needs.
