SCOPE
---------------------------------------------------------
In recent years, several studies have been discussing the interplay of SA and MDE, focusing on the benefits of combining these two disciplines. Several works have been proposing the use of metamodels and modeling languages and the formal representation of software (reference) architectures. Other works have focused on using models and metamodels to represent the different structures and quality views. Additional research has been investigating the use of model transformations as automation to enable early analysis and simulation of SAs. Eventually, the interplay between SA and MDE could be beneficial from a tooling perspective, as it would enable the re-use of techniques and technologies used for manipulating (meta)models in the context of SAs. Despite the advancements, several open challenges still compel the effective interplay between SA and MDE.
MDE4SA 2025 aims to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners where novel and innovative solutions to current and future challenges on the interplay between SAs and MDE can be presented and discussed.
