Model-based engineering (MBE) is evolving into a fully-fledged engineering
discipline, with well-established standards, industrial-strength tools, and
emerging theoretical foundations. Models are being used to design, specify,
and
implement a variety of complex and mission-critical systems. MBE involves
rich
and powerful development environments supporting design, analysis,
validation,
and implementation of such systems, which provide significantly higher
levels of
abstraction and computer-based automation than traditional approaches. These
are
particularly useful in developing complex real-time and embedded systems
(RTES),
which pose great challenges to system designers and implementers. The
MoBE-RTES
workshop is based on the premise that successful development of complex
real-
time and embedded systems necessarily requires careful architectural design
and
that this, in turn, involves the extensive use of models, modeling tools,
and
model-based development methods.

TOPICS OF INTEREST:

The focus of the workshop is on contributions that describe theorical and/or

empirical advances in model-based engineering of RTES. In particular, the
following topics are of primary interest (although other topics related to
the
workshop theme are also welcome):

* Modeling languages specific to RTES,
* Usages of MARTE (Modeling and Analysis of Real-time and Embedded systems),
the
OMG standard UML profile for RTES (e.g. application experience,
extensions, on-
going work, tutorials, etc.)
* Tools that support model-based development of RTES,
* Model-based safety engineering: e.g. methods of specifying safety
attributes
in an architectural model, methods for ensuring safety of implementations,
etc.
* Formal and semi-formal methods for analyzing architectural models for key
performance indicators of RTES,
* Examples of innovative applications of MBE to RTES development in
industry.
