T h e S c h o o l

Over the course of the past decades, computer science has reached a
level of maturity that requires an ever greater use of modeling.
For over a decade, the MODELS conference has served as the premier
venue for the exchange of innovative technical ideas and
experiences relating to the use of model-based approaches in the
development of complex software systems. During this time, many of
its keynote speakers have pointed out the critical role that
education plays in expanding the use of models in software
development. To that end, this Master Class, organized before the
MODELS conference as a (post-) graduate autumn school, offers its
participants a set of carefully selected lectures dealing with
various aspects of modeling and with a particular focus on
domain-specific languages. The objective is to provide each
attendee with sufficient information to understand the main issues
and challenges in the use of modeling and domain-specific
languages, and also to have a clear picture of the most recent
advances in the field.

All of our lecturers are recognized experts in model-based
approaches with outstanding pedagogical skills. The master class
program comprises a balanced mix of academic and industrial
contributions. The academic lecturers will provide an overview of
their research themes, including descriptions of the state of the
art as well as an outline of emerging trends and challenges. The
contributions of the industrial lecturers will focus on results
achieved in the practical application of modeling in industrial
contexts. The master class is envisaged as a forum for exchange
between its participants, and includes hands-on experience classes
and poster sessions that are open to all attendees.

The school will take place in Oslo, during the three days preceding the
start of the MODELS conference.

The Modeling Wizards Master Class will take place in Oslo at the
Radisson BLU Park Hotel

C a l l f o r p o s t e r s a n d a b s t r a c t s

The Modeling Wizards Master Class is actively soliciting its participants to present posters or abstracts of their work.
Posters are intended to provide authors and participants with the ability to connect with each other and to engage in discussions about the work. Technical posters, reports on semantic systems, descriptions of completed work, and work in progress are equally welcome.

The posters will be displayed during the Master Class and their authors will be given the opportunity to present them.

Together with the poster, authors are invited to submit an extended abstract not longer than 2 pages in an LNCS format.

The posters/abstracts will be published in an indexed research report.

By submitting a poster, you agree to present your poster at the Modelling Wizards Master Class in Oslo; poster presenters need to be registered Modelling Wizards participants
