Workshop goals
--------------
Building complex and trustworthy software systems in the shortest time-to-market remains
the challenging objective that competitive companies are facing constantly. A more
challenging objective for these companies is to be able to formalize their development
processes in order to analyze them, to simulate and execute them, and to reason about
their possible improvement. In the last decade, the Model-Driven Engineering approach has
proven its effectiveness for the specification and realization of large and complex
systems. However its use in the field of process modeling and execution is still not
fully exploited. The PMDE Workshop aims to gather researchers and industrial
practitioners working in the field of Model-Based Engineering, and more particularly on
the use of processes to improve software reliability and productivity.

Topics of interest
------------------
We invite papers presenting research results or work-in-progress in all areas of
process-based approaches for model-driven engineering, including:
- Modeling software and systems processes for model-driven engineering
- Domain-Specific Languages (DSL) for modeling software and systems processes
- Transformation-based process modeling: structural and behavioral aspects
- MDE Process patterns: modeling and application
- MDE Process patterns for reuse: definition, search methods, application of patterns
- Process models refactoring and composition
- Process lines and MDE
- Verification of process models
- MDE process enactment and simulation
- MDE Process resource management
- Process metrics for model-driven engineering
- Management of distributed MDE processes
- MDE process evolution: static evolution, process models refactoring, dynamic process
evolution, process deviations management
- Process-centered MDE tools
- Description of case studies based on MDE processes, experimentations on real projects,
empirical studies

Papers submission
-----------------
We ask for papers in LaTeX or Word format and not exceeding 12 pages in the LNCS style
(for instructions on the Springer LNCS format, please refer to Information for LNCS
authors). The paper should present original research work related to the above-cited
topics and should not be published or submitted simultaneously to other workshops,
conferences, or journals. Industrial papers are welcome.
