Scope:
The purpose of the International Conference on Model-Driven Engineering and
Software Development, MODELSWARD 2018, is to provide a platform for researchers,
engineers, academicians as well as industrial professionals from all over the
world to present their research results and development activities in using
models and model driven engineering techniques for Software Development.
Model-Driven Development (MDD) is an approach to the development of IT systems
in which models take a central role, not only for analysis of these systems but
also for their construction. MDD has emerged from modelling initiatives, most
prominently the Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) fostered by the Object
Management Group (OMG). In the scope of MDA, a couple of technologies have been
developed that became the cornerstones of MDD, like metamodelling and model
transformations. MDD relies on languages for defining metamodels, like the
Meta-Object Facility (MOF) and Ecore (developed in the scope of the Eclipse
Modelling Framework), and transformation specification languages like QVT and
ATL.
MDD is already around for some years and is about to become commodity in
software development due to its benefits (reduction on development costs,
improvement of software quality, reduction of maintenance costs and the support
for controlled evolution of IT systems). MDD has also been applied in many
application areas, such as real-time and embedded systems, and telecommunication
systems, and, more recently, to the development and integration of enterprise
information systems. However, the MDD research community is wishing to explore
the bounds of MDD, by investigating new applications areas and combinations with
other emerging technologies, like, for example, pervasive context-aware systems,
semantic web, semantic web services, service-oriented architecture, ontologies
and cloud computing. This conference aims at fostering the further development
and application of MDD techniques for software systems.
Papers describing advanced prototypes, systems, tools and techniques and general
survey papers indicating future directions are also encouraged. Papers reporting
on original work in any of the areas listed below are welcome. Accepted papers,
presented at the conference by one of the authors, will be published in the
Proceedings of MODELSWARD. The submitted papers will be reviewed by at least
three experts in this area, and acceptance will be based on quality, relevance
and originality. The conference is open to full research and (short)
work-in-progress papers. Sessions are planned for both oral and poster
presentations.
