MODELS 2013
ACM/IEEE 16th International Conference
on Model-Driven Engineering Language & Systems

Call for Contributions

Sept. 29th - Oct. 4th, 2013 - Miami, Florida/USA
http://www.modelsconference.org

Deadline: March 4th 2013 / March 14th 2013

---------------------------------------------------------------------


MODELS 2013 cordially invites contributions related to all aspects
of model-based engineering!

MODELS 2013 will continue the tradition of the MODELS conference
series in providing the top forum for researchers and practitioners
to meet and share experiences in software and systems modeling.
The Foundations and Applications Tracks, Workshops, Tutorials, and
Panels will represent key venues for disseminating novel ideas in
modeling research. For the 2013 conference, Demonstrations and
Poster sessions will be formalized, along with the first year of the
ACM Student Research Competition at MODELS!

Now in MODELS' 16th year, the MODELS research community is challenged
to demonstrate the maturity and effectiveness of model-based
engineering in established application domains like business
information or embedded systems, as well as explore its limits, by
investigating new application areas and combinations with various
other emerging technologies, such as cyber-physical systems, semantic
web, and cloud computing. To provide a broad forum for reporting on
scientific progress, as well as experiences and issues stemming from
practical application of model-based methods, MODELS invites
researchers to submit papers to the Foundations Track and the
Application Track.


---------------------------
Foundations Track Papers
---------------------------

1. Technical papers describing original scientifically rigorous
solutions to significant model-based development problems.

2. Exploratory papers describing new, non-conventional model-
based development research positions or approaches.

---------------------------
Application Track Papers
---------------------------

1. Application papers providing a realistic and verifiable picture
of the current state-of-the-practice in model-based engineering
and explore the problems encountered by the industrial adoption
of model-based techniques.

2. Empirical evaluation papers evaluating existing problem cases
or scientifically validating proposed solutions through, for
example, empirical studies, experiments, case studies, or
simulations.

Venue
---------------------------------------------------------------------

In 2013, MODELS will take place in the midst of Miami's most popular
beach area. As the 5th largest urban city in the USA, Miami is a
hub for culture, entertainment, arts, and fashion (e.g., the famous
"South Beach" area). Miami has recently been named one of the USA's
cleanest cities and most walkable cities. With over 14 universities
and colleges in the area, Miami also is a recognized center for
education and research. We invite you to join us at this international
conference and to help shape the modelling methods and technologies of
the future!
