Flexible MDE Workshop - FlexMDE 2019
co-located with IEEE / ACM 22nd International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems (MODELS) September, 2019 - Munich (Germany) http://events.disim.univaq.it/flexmde/ Overview --- Increasingly, models are becoming commonplace and Model Driven Engineering (MDE) is gaining acceptance in many domains including automotive, aerospace, railways, and telecommunications. Over the last years, several modelling platforms have been developed to simplify and automate many steps of MDE processes. However, several challenges still need to be addressed in order to enable a wider adoption of MDE technologies. One of the most important impediments in adopting MDE tools is related to the reduced flexibility of existing modelling platforms. Topics --- There is an increasing need for more disciplined techniques and engineering tools to support flexibility in several forms in a wide range of modelling activities, including metamodel, model, and model transformation definition processes. The workshop aims at: - identifying the challenges in the current practice of MDE related to the lack of flexibility, and - soliciting contributions of ideas, concepts, and techniques that address these challenges. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Techniques for flexible meta-modelling and flexible typing: - Flexible metamodelling techniques: less static, more flexible - Model typing, dynamic typing techniques in MDE - Metamodelling by example, bottom-up metamodelling - Support for generic programming techniques in MDE - Multilevel modelling - Typing inconsistency management - Partial typing, multiple typings, a-posteriori typing - Constructive (top-down) and exploratory (bottom-up) modes for model typing - Metamodelling paradigms: e.g. multilevel, two-level, archetype-based Techniques for flexible modelling: - Model sketching - Model abstraction - Modelling using mobile devices or natural language Flexible reuse of MDE artefacts - Reuse techniques for transformations and code generators - Reuse techniques for models and metamodels - Definition of reusable (meta-)model patterns and transformation patterns - Componentization techniques for MDE artefacts Techniques for increasing the agility of the MDE process: - Experience reports regarding lack of flexibility in using modelling and MDE - Agility and MDE, agile modelling - Techniques for reducing the gap between modelling and programming Submission guidelines --- Two kinds of papers are solicited: regular papers (max 10 pages), and short papers (max 5 pages), adhering to the IEEE formatting. Contributions should present novel - albeit preliminary - research ideas, challenging problems, and practical contributions to the domain. Industrial feedback is welcome: experience or case studies about applying MDE in an industrial setting showing the lack of flexibility, or ways to overcome it, are solicited as well. All papers must be written in English. Accepted papers will be published as IEEE workshop proceedings, and indexed in DBLP and Scopus. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version to a special issue at the Journal of Object Technology. Contributions must be submitted through the FlexMDE'19 EasyChair submission page by following the link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=flexmde19 Important dates --- - Paper Submission Deadline: 5 July 2019 [Extended] - Paper Notification to Authors: 26 July, 2019 - Paper camera ready version: 5 August, 2019 Organizers --- - Davide Di Ruscio, University of L'Aquila (Italy) - Dimitris Kolovos, University of York (UK) - Juan De Lara, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Spain) |
