MODELS 2009

The MODELS Conference Series is devoted to model-based development for software and systems engineering, covering all categories of modeling languages, methods, tools, and their applications. Engineering models have long been used in the development of complex systems and the approach is also becoming more prevalent in the design of modern software systems. Methodologies and tools are emerging and applied successfully in practice. They create and manipulate such models starting with the earliest phases of development through to implementation and testing.

The MODELS series of conferences (http://www.modelsconference.org/) is the premier venue for the exchange of innovative technical ideas and experiences relating to model-based approaches in the development of complex systems. To provide a broader forum for reporting on scientific progress as well as experiences and issues stemming from practical application of model-based methods, the 2009 conference has two distinct tracks:


 * A scientific track
 * An empirical results track

Papers in each track will be evaluated by separate program committees based on criteria appropriate to that track.
