Henson, Interesting but I did not indicate that you did.
A recurring problem is that people confuse one another and themselves by
failing to see model as distinct from modeling, architecture as distinct from
architecting, system as distinct from systeming (system engineering). By
combining the tracks after the fact (organizing committee) I simply warn that
confusion will increase and the much needed semantic clarity will not be
readily achieved.
However, it is an opinion, not a demand.
